Winter Solstice celebration at Raven Hill
Sunday, December 21, 2008 5:00 p.m. The best thing about the Winter Solstice (at this latitude anyway) is that each day after that will have a few more minutes of sunshine. OK, what passes for sunshine during our winters. Not-darkness anyway. Every year Raven Hill Discovery Center (between East Jordan and Boyne City) celebrates the […]
After the storm
December 7, 2008
We had quite a little blow last night. As predicted, ice mountains are beginning to grow along the shore. The wind scoured a lot of snow off the beach and flung it up on the bluff—and then scoured the sand off and flung it on top of the snow. Very decorative. Looks like someone’s been […]
December 1 and everybody’s snowed in except Dean Peters
December 1, 2008
It started last night. A wide swath of sleety snow blew out of the southwest and whomped us upside the earmuffs. This morning there was a good six inches of the stuff on the deck and it’s still coming down. The ski resorts are happy, except that no one can get to them because the roads are […]
You don’t need a weatherman to tell which way the wind’s blowing
November 19, 2008

A lake effect snow warning remains in effect until 11 am EST Monday . . . . Overnight snow accumulations within the warned area are expected to range […]
Hunkering down in the drumlins
November 13, 2008
The Writing Studio and Bait Shop is surrounded by a nice mix of hardwoods with a few evergreens. It makes for a pleasant green view all summer, and a lovely golden glow in October. In early November fallen leaves blend into a russet coverlet, and deer move among the bare trees. For the first time […]
