High Lake Michigan Levels!

Interesting data going back to 1960 on Lake Michigan water levels. Hard to imagine that 1986 was even higher than today.

Michigan - cool picture!

Winter is making its way back into the area with a vengeance, after a mild December and first half of January. Virtually all of  West Michigan area dealt with sub-zero temperatures Monday morning, and wind chills were cold enough to close a number of schools for the day. Here is a look at some low temperatures from this morning:

BRRRR.....

Signs of Spring!

"Signs of Spring bring forth new life!".

Happy first day of Winter!

The start of winter—the winter solstice—is the darkest day of the year when the Sun reaches its most southern point in the sky at local noon. After this date, the days start getting "longer," i.e., the amount of daylight begins to increase.

Well, it's started.....

Here at North Lake, when the lake starts to freeze over you know winter is starting.....

"IN LIKE A LION, OUT LIKE A LAMB"

by Lorie Hill

March roars in like a lion
So fierce,
The wind so cold,
It seems to pierce.

The month rolls on
And Spring draws near,
And March goes out
Like a lamb so dear.

Phil saw his shadow!

Hello Fall!

It is the summer's great last heat,
It is the fall's first chill: They meet.
