Heikki Lunta decided to spend the winter in Florida this year. Occasionally he would think of the UP and say "Eh, let it snow" and then he'd go to the beach and would forget about the UP.
He snowbirded back last week and went "Well, shit. Back to work" and we've gotten 3 feet of snow since then.

The folks at Marquette Mountain (a ski hill about 100 miles from here) did the Heikki Lunta Snow Dance last Friday and turned the Lake Superior snow machine on. About 2 feet of snow since this Friday. Lake Effect still falling. About an inch in the past 40 minutes. Woo! Winter is here!

Eh. Couple inches. It's Sunday and we haven't had much snow. We're on the ambulance route so we get a lane plowed and really by this afternoon the roads will be cleared.
7 years ago we had 2 1/2 feet fall overnight. So this is weird.
