Do we need to break out the plows again?

"Coming back to my beloved  UP from downstate, I grabbed a couple images of the Lake Michigan shore between St. Ignace and Brevort. Sunshine and fog there today. Some magical scenery and weather. Wish I had the foresight and courage to shoot the partially obscured spans of the Mackinaw Bridge through my windshield."

The remaining ice along the shoreline succumbs to temps near 50.  This peaceful scene is not far from Pt Louie...

The snow continues to recede.

By request, a look at the Big Traverse area for all of those summer folks who haven't seen it this time of year..

The big picture takes you to the edge of the icy water.
