Jonger Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 heading to fife lake area? We aborted the trip, I wasn't too impressed with the totals for the drive... Plus, my cousins wife had to work unexpectedly, I'm hoping there is a sweet spot somewhere in the lower peninsula on Wednesday after round 2. At least yesterdays snow should provide a good base to start from, that Fife Lake area might be the spot with another 4-6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Driving around the area this morning it is amazing how many of the local small ponds are frozen...some of the larger ones still have small pickets of unfrozen parts....but as a whole, most are frozen over. I didn't get out and test any of them, but ice skate sales should be higher this year then the last few years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Ice on our local pond is getting almost test worthy. Even the creek behind the house which has constant flow is frozen. This weekend London is calling.... LES looks to be adding up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow poke Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I was surprised at the amount of snowmobiles out and about already considering hunting season is still going on up here in northern MI. Was all over the place yesterday and the deepest snow I saw was west of Gaylord, about 8" or so out that way. Kids are bugging to get the snowmobiles out today so they can play in the snow. Second thanksgiving in a row with snow, more snow last year but more cold this year, way more cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 This is clearly one of the worst-weather days for the NFL, considering the whole league. I think there are 5 games in snow right now, counting Green Bay for a dusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 *WOW* at the Lions game in Philadelphia. When's the last time it snowed that hard during a football game? Its the most I have ever seen during a game... There have been dozens of 2 or less inch games, but not many 4+ inch accumulations during regulation.

hm8 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Almost 8" measured on the Field in Philly! Well they just had someone go out and measure the deepest spot...which was almost definitely just some random unnatural pile from everyone running and sliding around.

dmc76 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Well they just had someone go out and measure the deepest spot...which was almost definitely just some random unnatural pile from everyone running and sliding around. Seems legit... ... Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until midnight EST tonight... * snow and sleet accumulations... 5 to 12 inches. * Ice accumulations... around a trace. * Timing... periods of snow will mix with sleet late this afternoon and evening. The precipitation will then change to rain during the night. There should be some freezing rain for a brief time during the transition period this evening. * Impacts... hazardous travel due to snow covered and slippery roads. * Visibilities... less than one mile at times into this evening. * Temperatures... in the upper 20s to lower 30s, then slowly rising tonight. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow, sleet and ice are expected or occurring. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.

Brighton? That's 10 miles to my east. I actually have a snowmobile up for sale right now... but it's pricy. First tip for owning a snowmobile, get the trailer first, you will need it!

But I have a truck and trailer in my shed at my parents so I have that covered. And yup my mother works in Northville so I'm up in Michigan all the time doing things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedskater Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I read that the National Hockey League has scheduled a January hockey game in Los Angeles, outdoors at the baseball stadium. I have no idea how much ice making equipment that will require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
