We're getting dumped on.....

We are in Northern Michigan about an hour south of the bridge...right on the 45th parallel. Major snow belt. Snow is good for our area though. Brings the snowmobilers north which is essential for our local economy. We're not really snow lovers so we just sit in the house and while we wait for summer. Hope it comes on a weekend this year!

45th parallel?
My parents live in Gaylord, I'm heading up there today. I think we've outpaced them this week for snow, though.

Hey Sonar37,

You write you live in Northern Michigan, and I saw on the map, thats the same hight of Paris. In Paris is no snow, but a nice 11'Celsius. Why is it that cold overthere? Do you have a landclimate? Here in the Netherlands we have a seaclimate, that means not to cold winters, normaly and not to hot summers, normaly. The realy summerseason is most of the time short, 4 or 5 weeks, than the rain and wind are coming back.

I've seen lake effect when delivering a boat to Pentwater, Mi and passing thru Erie Pa. and Buffalo NY, but the neatest type I've seen was from a power plant in Idaho venting steam it went up about 300 feet the snowed across the road for 1/2 mile or so, pretty heavily.
