GFS:

I love living here. Yes a week straight of 45 degree no wind drizzle does get quite annoying but otherwise at my location we get plenty of good (fun) weather. However I do still want to have a second place east of the cascades. Don’t think I could live in Minnesota as I like dry heat not wet heat. I about died the one time I was there in July. Couldn’t wait to get home. However when I was there in October one year it was amazing. First day was 70’s and epic thunderstorms, then two days later it was snowing!

We drove up to Harbor Springs Thursday morning from Higgins and drove through a bad white out north of Gaylord for about 10 miles, roads were really bad in places. Snow depths varied from a few inches to over a foot depending on where we were. We have property just outside of Harbor Springs that has a view looking south west and we could see the lake effect snow bands across the bay hitting areas south of us Thursday. The deepest snow we saw was south and west of Gaylord in Kalkaska county Thursday.
