Six more weeks?

 






Seems a little odd to be predicting possible additional weeks of winter when Real Winter still hasn't gotten here. There isn't much snow on the ground, the snowmobile trails are more dirt than snow, and the predicted high for the day is above freezing. Ski resorts are hurting because even with snow making equipment it's hard to keep the runs in decent shape. For snowmaking to work, you need below freezing temperatures on a consistent basis. Usually the U.P. can count on lake effect snow, but that hasn't been happening. It's even warm in Canada.
