Lake Effect Snow Advisory

Up here in the north our weekend plans don't always take place as we plan... like this weekend due to the wintery weather. Our own Lake Effect Snow alone isn't so bad since we can expect it most everyday during our long winter months (November through April). But when it gets combined with another storm system from south, like yesterday, you really want to get off the road. That's exactly what the Murphys did yesterday morning on their way up from Green Bay to visit us. Most of our weekend had been planned, including dinner at Vierling with the famous micro brewed beer, but now our plans turned blank white as the snow whipped outside. Now what do we do??



We went snowshoeing on Songbird Trail by Little Presque Point (Lake Superior shore), thinking the Murphys would have enjoyed on either skis or snowshoes. Then we had ice cream at Jilbert (a hometown dairy) to complete our snowy outing.

And guess what? It's snowing again this morning....
