For Those with a lot of snow yet...This day in 1983
Scott Raymond:
In Lake Tahoe back then they issued a warning for people to not go cross country skiing as it could be likely that they might ski into power lines. Down around lake level they had 215 inches of snow depth.

Hello Scott,
Yeah that's a lot of snow....but, that's about average for Calumet, Michigan. In 1979, they had over 335" on the ground. What's different about Calumet, is that they're not in the Mountains. ;)
Cheers,
Hammer

Lake effect snow I suppose? Do they install extra long power poles? ;D I think I'll put it on my "Places not to move to" list. :o

Yes, the poles are really tall. The Copper Country people shovel their snow continuously, especially the rooves.
It might not be so bad to visit, but, I wouldn't want to live there either. Morel mushrooms the size of your head and chunks of copper laying about to be found, might make it an interesting trip.

My wife and I go camping in the U.P. every fall and, once in a while, make it up to Houghton during the winter to see the Michigan Tech Winter Carnival. Plows run 24/7 most of the snowy season. Funny thing is...when we're back home with less snow, it always feels colder than up there.
