Personally, I enjoy comparing photos of the same area from different years... not often does one area look the same. <BR/><BR/>It's been a while since I've been up there in a non Winter month. That needs to change. I have to get my daughter up there asap!Josh Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10809581468183556700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796654132557410922.post-16073471155727961382009-02-25T02:03:00.000-06:002009-02-25T02:03:00.000-06:00LOVED the pictures from Marquette.

It looks like you went out to the island. MQT is truly one of my favorite places on Earth. Such a quaint and beautiful city.Meteorologist Chris Spearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312341835894642203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796654132557410922.post-88776918088845453652009-02-24T21:09:00.000-06:002009-02-24T21:09:00.000-06:00WxWatcher, I agree you should venture north to the...WxWatcher, I agree you should venture north to the UP! The city of Marquette is the largest in the Upper Peninsula with a population of around 20k. It's a fairly hip town for the average tourist. Lots of up scale joints. However, I like to get down a bit more local. Each visit gets increasingly interesting due to <A HREF="http://www.k2medialab.com/content.asp?PageName=Index" REL="nofollow">my buddy</A>, whom we call the "mayor", and places he "guides" us to. He was raised at the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huron_Mountain_Club" REL="nofollow">Huron Mountain Club</A> and knows the area extremely well. We tend to hang out at places where he won't be "noticed". It's hilarious.<BR/><BR/>This weekend I recall him talking about something going on this Spring. The function takes place in June. June to them, is Spring. Also, I overhead a local talking about how he's had to snow blow his driveway for the 11th time this Winter and how it's been "one heck of a Winter". <BR/><BR/>I am happy my wife dedicated some of her busy schedule to take on the task of doing the obs in such a fashion as I do. Some friends of our drove up from Lake Mills, WI on Saturday and it took them 4 hours when it usually takes just short of 2. Some places south of here got twice as much as Oshkosh. I see that Scout and Derek are talking about a storm approaching... that would be sweet!Josh Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10809581468183556700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796654132557410922.post-19166894293409109342009-02-24T11:57:00.000-06:002009-02-24T11:57:00.000-06:00Glad you had a good time in MQT.

I have always wanted to venture up to the UP at least once in my life.<BR/><BR/>You got some good snow on the ground while you were gone. I wish we could see something like that at least once before spring arrives. We have had some good March snows (like the impressive banding last year), but by this time I am getting geared up for warmer weather and planning out this year's vegetable garden.WxWatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741058675657292760noreply@blogger.com
