I always joke we get lake effect snow (as we live on a lake). Per the weather service our total for Saturday was 16.8". I'll be curious to see how much melts with temps in the 50's and rain later this week.

If the wind is blowing South East this also contributes to my snow depth

No ice at all here in Traverse City on our lake, though some of the smaller ponds in area have briefly skimmed over then quickly melted in the sun. Very cold - low 20s - but no snow on ground at all.

All of our 16.8" of snow was gone by Saturday. I did see a little area of ice on our lake but suspect that will be gone by the time I get home.

Looks good! No snow on the ground down here and I love it! Actually saw someone finally taking their jet ski out over the weekend....idiot. I hear we might have an El Nina this coming summer which will be nice. About time we get some warmer temps!

No snow, no lake.
I don't like snow, but I like a full lake more!

I sure hope you all have a mild winter up there! I have to go to training in Madison, WI in January and February. Last couple years have been brutal for my co-workers that went. I'm hoping my trip is the "3rd times a charm" weather wise.

Dave ,are you flying or driving ?

Flying. Come in night before, class for 3 days, then tentative fly out that night. Last year coworkers landed in Chicago, then planes got grounded and they had to drive in snow to Madison. On top of that their luggage went to another airport so they had to buy clothes that night!! I'm not looking forward to it!!
