LES is Beginning!

When we see that abbreviation in our local forecast, we get really excited - Lake Effect Snow! We may have more than 10 inches of the white stuff by Monday morning and a "very significant" accumulation of LES during the next 2 weeks. Yahoo! 

We've had a pitiful week with warmer than usual temperatures. Much of our snow depth was lost in the last 3 or 4 days. We could even see several patches of grass in the yard by daylight today, but we didn't despair. The temperature dropped continually all day, and the forecast told of better things to come.

Steve went outside to feed Cocoa at 5:15 p.m. Sure enough - the LES was just beginning! Everything was fresh and white (without a tire track on our street) by the time I looked out the front door at 7:00 p.m. We're well-stocked with food for our tummies and gas for the snowblower, so bring it on.

All is well in the Keweenaw!
