snow in u.p today

Not a touch of snow yet. They are talking about some huge waves on superior tonight. I really want to see that. Never seen waves the size they are talking on HNN.
 
I'm here in the keewenaw, and no snow yet. It was trying to when I came out of class on campus at noon. Jeep Therapy, you should come up to Houghton, I'll show the best view of huge waves. Probably a little close for comfort.
 
You get enough snow up there to ride I might just be up :) Presque has a very cool blow hole if the waves are going the right direction. With 6-8ft waves the blow hole shoots water up around 15ft or so. I just can't imagine what it will be like with 20 footers. I know what you mean about the whole too close for comfort. I have camped up that way a few times. The last one was Ft. Wilkins up in copper country. Very cool area!

Back on topic; I just ran the first heat cycle on my top end and newly installed bender pipes. I was cycling the RPMs as directed. The thing sounds AWESOME! Just about the second rip of the throttle the snow started coming down hard. I think it was a sign. :) But I think I best get out and get her started up again, the snow quit now that I came in the house. But my eyes are still burning from the two stroke. :)
 
someone asked for a picture :)

That is wild - snow is in the prediction for the rest of the week - my cabin is east of Melstrand and I haven't been up to get it ready for winter yet - now I'm nervous - keep us updated!! :brr
 
Just checked again, snow at my place in Negaunee is at 10 inches at 8am. I measured on my grill both times. So that is about an inch an hour.
 
i heard about 14 in. in ishpeming. Didnt see it but have friends that live there and had to drive in for school. Said the roads were a mess and it took forever for them to get in to school.
 
Wow, didn't think Ishpeming got that much. They are only 3 miles from here. We are still sitting at about 10 inches at 11:30 am. Of course they had to go and plow the alley... Had they not ran the plow down the alley I would have taken the Viper up and down it a couple times.
 
snow out heres in quebec up in the mountains,12 inches today and plus the 12 inch base they already have = riding this weekend:)
 
Wow, that picture is just pure torture. They're calling for snow in SD next week, hopefully the nights will stay cold to freeze the ground and then we'll get 8"-12" so I can do a little riding. Would be the first time in a few years that we were able to ride before Thanksgiving.
 
Absolutely nothing on the ground here in Newberry...yet. But there is some very light corn snow starting to fall as I type.
 
If you guys do ride, please be careful where you ride. Mess up a few landowner's hunting plans, and no more trails.
