What a yo-yo our weather has been this December! Just about the time we get a good snow cover, August returns and melts it all away. One day this week the pasty shipments out of Calumet were delayed - - not because of snow - - but on account of fog! As these snowy shots from Roger Kangas suggest, it's cooled off again this morning:
Good morning to all this fine December day. We are getting our first touch of snow today, between Detroit and Toledo. Temps are in the low 30's and we get to see g.son play hockey in Trenton today at one of the 10 indoor rinks in our area.

Hey Alex T., Have you had a pasty for breakfast lately?? Can't think of a much better way to start the day...... Especially with the weather we have coming the next couple of days. There's always something about the first big storm of the winter, I always like to get out in it no matter how bad it gets, kind of a challenge I guess. Hope the weather in Ga stays good for you....

Last Wed. someone mentioned something about the old Calumet dump. Can anyone tell me where the old dump was? Was it near the town somewhere along the Water works road?
