We had rain last week Monday, but a surprising amount of snow was still on the ground this weekend. All yesterday the sun beat away at the open areas of snow and I think things are now noticeably greener than they were last week. Checking the weather forecast today after church I had to chuckle when I saw that we&#8217;re looking to get significant snowfall this week.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s funny because almost exactly the same thing happened last year. Things were a little warmer and a little greener late spring and then we got sacked with ~2 feet of snow here in Houghton, and 3+ feet in some of the surrounding higher elevation areas. It was great because it gave Chris and I the opportunity to do some more snowmobiling. Happened right before my birthday too, so it was kinda like a present.<\/p>\n<p>This morning they said we&#8217;re going to get up to 10 inches of snow or more &#8212; now they are saying 4-8. I guess we&#8217;ll see what we get. I was kinda hoping for spring but what the hey &#8212; let&#8217;s have some more snow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s this?
