In the wee hours of the morning, Pasty Cam spots a familiar scene at Michigan Tech during January: snow engineers raising the framework for this year's Winter Carnival.

(...and the Pasty People will be there to bring you live coverage...stay tuned)

The Cam gets up close and personal with your friendly neighborhod snow scraper on US-41.  Have you ever seen the animated sno-go on the North Shore Wreath page?

(it never runs out)

Nestled up there among the roof snow, phone lines, and fire escapes in Hancock, Vollerth's extolls the regal flavor of their ring bologna.  Actually this is not intended as a word from our sponsor... just one of those memorable U.P. sights.

(...man shall not live by pasties alone...)

The phenomenon known as "white-out" is the most common scene today in the Keweenaw, with 40+ mph winds whipping a fresh round of snow.

(eh, turn your lights on, buddy!)

A few weeks ago the Pasty Cam caught a glimpse of our roof in the left edge of this picture.  Today, from inside Pasty Central, we see the workers clearing that roof.

(that small patch of green among the white is the top of a tree.  Here's another view.)

On a day without sunshine, suddenly a fleeting ray hits the Houghton Township Building.  The storm has caused many Keweenaw events to be canceled.

(if  this picture had sound, we would have to shout to be heard)
