  1. Already 16 tonight... two degrees lower than the forecast low. Snow showers will move back in later, along with a slight rise in temp. Feels like a long winter.
  2. down to 15 overnight. Winter has wasted no time this year. some UP snow belts in for a dump. Another few inches likely here, but the potential for more according to a few hi-res... we'll see how it plays out. Earlier this morning
  3. Few inches of snow overnight. Seems to snow a little everyday lately, with snow in the forecast daily for at least the next week. Settling into a winter routine, waking up at night to feed the stove, check radar and model runs etc.... Snow probably here to stay for the season
  4. Maybe it was all the long-forgotten souls of Halloween being sucked back into their cold, eternal resting place?
  5. With a little bit of snow on the ground, temp dropped to 17. Winter's here to stay.
  6. A little over 1.5" here. 27 degrees this morning. preview of what's to come...
  7. Flurries all day. Steadier light snow the past hour... elevated surfaces and remaining leaves are turning white.
  8. Leaves have peaked, season's first snow is in the forecast, will certainly pale in comparison to west of here in the N plains, nonetheless, winter is very close to setting in here in Michigan's north woods.
  9. Beautiful crystal-blue skies today... something of a rarity around here the past month or so. 8.4 inches of rain since the first of September. The warm dry summer quickly changed. Trees are peaking (oaks a tad green still). Leaves are surprisingly nice, despite the wind and rains lately. I'd estimate peak a week to ten days behind schedule for my local area (maybe even a few days more). Up until Friday night when it hit 29, I had only had one very light frost, but have had many mornings in the mid and upper 30's. With the sunshine today, temps should reach mid-50's which will feel nice, with high temps only being in the 40's the past several days. Pretty much just waiting on the snow now. Around Negaunee today
  10. With a total population in 2016 estimated at 141, I'm shocked.
  11. I felt the same way. Jonger used one of his nine lives.
  12. Jonger, wow! WTF were you thinking even being out? I didn't feel safe walking to the end of my driveway the other night! It's too deep to ride... heck it's too deep to even snowshoe. Two people have died within 5-10 miles of my house since I've been here as a result of getting lost or stuck and then freezing to death. One of the guys was up by Eagle, too. The remoteness and inaccessibility of this area, especially in the winter is nothing to take so lightly. This a wilderness, you know that! June last year, I was at a friends camp near the Silver Lake Basin (probably not far from where you were stranded as the crow flies) on a beautiful, sunny 65 degree day, wearing only short sleeves and decided to take a little hike alone. 30 minutes in, clouds and a north wind moved in. 10 minutes later it was 34, foggy, misting, wind was blowing. I got cold, panicked, got turned around, no cell service. I was shivering and shaking, and I too, for brief moments thought I could die. The regret that just poured through me was awful. To die from making such an innocent, stupid mistake. I never want to feel that again. If not for my wonderful better-half and the other guys at camp laying on their truck horns, it may have ended differently for me. One of the best lessons I have learned living here- respect what can kill you. Glad you are okay. Good God!
  13. This is the most ridiculous sh*t ever! Point taken, Beavis!
  14. I think you may be my new hero, I'm not sure yet :D
