michsnowfreak Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Went to SnowFest in Frankenmuth, MI this weekend (between Flint & Saginaw). There was actually a bit less snow than the Detroit area but the festival was cool. The snow carvings were sweet but my favorite was the ice kitchen.

cyclone77 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 ^Pretty cool pics. I like the wavy snow formations on that frozen river. Here's a few more pics from yesterday morning, and another from last night's sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Excellent as always. Love the country approach you get to give us living in a more rural area. 2 sunny days in a row here now, and when I got home from work around 5:15 the golden rays of the sun were the first thing that caught my eye.

michsnowfreak Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 After an icy start to the day with a glaze of sleet and freezing rain A bit of fresh snow in the afternoon did wonders for brightening up the old snowpack. Stopped to the park to enjoy the fresh scenery just before dusk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Very nice Josh. Love the lingering leaves mixed in there amongst the other bare trees. Proves you don't need much snow cover to still get very nice pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Very nice Josh. Love the lingering leaves mixed in there amongst the other bare trees. Proves you don't need much snow cover to still get very nice pics. Looking forward to you blowing this thread up after you break your 6" streak this weekend.

cyclone77 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 This one's actually from a few weeks ago. No snow on the ground or anything, but kind of a winter pic. Pass by this twisted up Cottonwood tree all the time on the way to work and always thought it looked very creepy. Kind of reminds me of the tree from the movie Sleepy Hollow. Coyotes were yipping up a storm a half mile or so to the west at the time I was out there. Sad to say this tree no longer exists. I passed by this thing for years and sort of admired it's creepiness. Finally stopped and got this shot back in November, and just this past week the farmer who owns this property cleared out a bunch of trees for some reason, and this was one of them. Sad to see it go.

ILwxchr Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Here are a few photographs and one vid cap (from HD video I shot) from the major winter storm we had on Feb 1-2. Ended up with over 8 inches of snow from it. Not as much as up north but I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Went out tonight to get some more snow drift action. Many of my favorite areas were destroyed by snow plows pushing the deep snow way off the road since there was so much of it. So I had to do some exploring, and ended up finding a few decent places.

michsnowfreak Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 She loves snow. No doubt where I got this obsession sickness from. Oh my mom is the same way. She loves snow. But then again we live in the same city unlike you and your mom. She is always telling me to tag her in my snow pics I put on facebook so a few of her friends that live out of state can see them. Third-party snow pics I guess Every once in a while she will take a pic of snow but 99% of the pics in her phone are of my nephew lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Great pics everyone... some really nice shots capturing winter. DEEP snow winter happening here. 40-42" around my area. just a constant snow globe lately. Up here in the more rural part of the County, so much more snow falls as compared to Marquette, so rarely get any kind of a headline it seems... oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I bet you would too! back deck looking out my living room window DSC00411.JPG I would. So why did you choose that part of the UP? Do your research...they get more snow/winter than Keweenaw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I would. So why did you choose that part of the UP? Do your research...they get more snow/winter than Keweenaw? well there's areas of the Keweenaw that routinely get 300" a season. The average where I live is 250" roughly( several years over 300"). There's been 2 winters in the past 13 that didn't get 250" and they were 200". I def did my research. I like the remoteness of N Marquette Co.(It feels like true wilderness, with 2 or less people per sq mile in my 'hood), but I also like the fact that in 30 min I can be in Marquette, while not a huge town, is a young town, and has about everything. NW lower was really depressed IMO. I love snow, so I moved to where it falls and falls a lot. I've had just over 150" so far this season, but with superior freezing over so fast, 200" is a lock I Imagine, but 250", IDK this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 We have been really blessed from a snow perspective here for many years now (in terms of what we get vs what we SHOULD be getting), but seeing those pics of N Marquette co NEVER get old! No matter WHAT the pattern, it snows snows snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know Marquette is a university town so I can see it be a bit more youthful. Plus, once you're over 200"/year, who's counting? I'd trade 50" in that case to be closer to a built up area.

Plus, once you're over 200"/year, who's counting? I'd trade 50" in that case to be closer to a built up area. Erie County has a million people in it. Colden/Boston Hills 30 minutes southeast of Buffalo average 200"+ per year. 90 mins with no traffic to Toronto. Perrysburg NY 45 minutes south of Buffalo average 250-300"+. But if you want to go all out Redfield/Hooker in the Tug usually average 300"+ per year. Plus you get to experience 4-6"+ inches per hour rates. Here is the Oct-April Snowfall totals by month Perrysburg (Erie) last year: OP Perrysburg T 28.0 117.0 75.0 57.5 33.5 311.0 Redfield (Ontario): C13 Redfield 1.3 14.0 146.5 93.0 61.0 33.0 5.0 353.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
