weatherbo Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Great pictures Bo. Nice wintry scenes even though that amount of snow for you is scant. What a difference between the Huron Mountains and Wishforsnow's front yard! Heck part of the lawns are still green. yeah wow @ wishforsnow's area. And that's only about 45 miles as the crow flies(across the bay)from me. Didn't get above freezing today. High is 31 so far and socked in with freezing fog. No snow melt today at all.

As of Saturday he still had a few inches of snow. He lives in the higher elevation south of Houghton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Took a walk down along Lake Michigan late this afternoon in Racine County and took some pictures. Very unusual not to see ice and snow piled up along the shore this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 ^ Looks like you took those pics on Labor Day Geos. Pretty sad to see one of my favorite local landmarks getting destroyed this past week. A local church house that was built next to a graveyard in 1907 has been getting ripped to pieces by heavy equipment. This was actually the 2nd church house built on this site, as the other one was torn down, and this one was rebuilt in it's place. The original church house was built on that foundation back in 1841. Sure is sad to think that every board that the heavy equip operators rip down was painstakingly measured/cut/constructed by some good folks that have probably been dead for over 50 years. Sure wish they could have found a way to restore the church, or at least maintain what was built. Time moves on, and has no forgiveness to prior tenants to the land. Here's some more info on this old church/graveyard site.... http://www.tampicohistoricalsociety.com/articles/article/22587/167378.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Joel, that 2nd to last pic is AMAZING! I could have posted hundreds of pics of our scenic November snowstorm, but nothing really scenic. Although, the dusting of snow, slate gray sky, and whipping cold wind made yesterday feel like a legit winter day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Nice snow pics above. Looking a little more winter like. Only thing that was missing in those pics was leaves on the trees, then you could have passed it off as Labor Day! lol Sad to see that old church go. It made for great pictures. Both the black and white and color one at night are awesome. Usually old abandoned buildings get demolished around here quickly. Can't really blame property owners... it attracts vandals and other types... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Nice pics geos. Outside of an actual snowfall happening, taking a walk in a wooded park on a dark gray day with bright white snow is my favorite. Thanks for bringing this thread out of dormancy Cant wait for that, we actually had a lot of sun with our November winter wonderland. Nothing to see here, but did get these flakes on Jan 1st as I posted in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Great new pics guys! Snow cover makes the overcast days seems so much more bright. Snow cover is even great for seeing more at night time. I hope the next snow sticks on the trees like yours are, Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
