• Wednesday-What'sUP December 15 - 10:33 pm

That's right I said 'heap', referring to the dumping of snow we've received, turning the bare roads into snow-covered and slippery in a matter of hours. Heaps, and heaps of the white gold has fallen, assuring all those skeptics who had been worried, of a 'White Christmas'. Bill Haller, our unofficial Pasty Cam Bete Grise boat watcher/reporter, has captured a scenic shot, illustrating the loveliness that follows the snowing and blowing which fills our driveways. After the clean-up we've had to perform in the Keweenaw, I thought a reminder of the beauty was in order!

What a beautiful picture! Love the UP Scenery!

The U.P. is a wonderful place to see the best winter has to offer.

So peaceful and serene, doesn't even look that cold! 34 degrees here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, but even colder sitting under this air conditioning vent!

Just great to hear the peace and quiet in a picture.

Beautiful picture!

It's 32 this morning in Florida!!

19 degrees when I left for work this morning. We finally got a little snow. I hate it when it gets cold and you still see green grass. It may sound strange, but 19 degrees doesn't seem as cold when there's snow on the ground.

Anyway, another beautiful picture from the U.P.

Fabulous! What a great picture. All those tall trees loaded with decorations from the Master. Great pic and thanks for getting out in it to capture some peaceful reality.

Beautiful picture, thanks for sharing that beauty with us.
27 this AM in south Georgia and we have frost.
That is all the white stuff we get.
Merry Christmas

Great pic to begin the day. Good Morning and Happy holidays to all. Thought I would share a special view from a very special spot I took on my little sojourn into Keweenaw yesterday . Had to work for it this time, as the hike up there for the pic sure filled my exercise quota for the day.....BUT it was well worth it. Enjoy!!

Beautiful picture makes things look like Christmas is on the way. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, thats a great shot Dave. Neat wallpaper.

Simply Gorgeous!! - Hi Jana Banana and Nut Brown Maid.

Aahhhh! Pretty.
16 here in Blacksburg Va. Pretty darn cold for December. I'll have to save that picture, very NICE.

Can we get a blow up of the second picture for WOW please?

Friday on the way to Marquette we saw a sight similar to this one, and I wished I had my camera along. the snow in the trees like that makes some great shots.

looks like more for the weekend. high of 8 for sunday! Turn on the lake effect machine.

My wallpaper picture on my desktop for the winter months! Had a wonderful fall picture of a lake with a fisherman that has been on for months. We got over 4 inches here in Ohio but it will probably melt soon. Saw on the news that Ironwood received 2 feet of the white stuff...but they can handle it! Better them than us...cold here though.

Mike B., actually, for the plants 19 degrees is colder when they aren't covered with snow. Snow protects from cold and from drying out.

Also you can't cross-country ski on grass. ; )

Very Christmas-card like picture.

Thanks for the dose of winter! There is NO snow here in the Twin Cities and it's starting to drive me crazy! I can now update my wallpaper with this snowy scene to remind me of what I'll get to see next week!

Thank you Dave. With as little as pictures really capture, this shot is beautiful. Must have been near breathtaking to be there in person.

Beautiful picture. We're as cold -- 18 degrees here in northeast GA -- but no snow. (There was some snow in the GA mountains on Tues.) Everybody be careful UP there!

Bless the Kewenaw County Road Commission, without which, winter life in the Keweenaw would be near impossible.

That shot makes me positively nauseous...with homesickness!!! Dave, the shot of the church is lovely.

That is a great picture. It's my new desk top background picture. It replaces the Richard Reynolds (richardreynoldsphotography.com)of the Chisos Mountains in Big Bend. Big thanks.

That second one is awesome. Thanks Dave. Wonder if the guy in the car knows he's a celebrity today.You know his 15 minutes of fame?

GREAT gallery Dave....I was looking for the beaver pond behind the Church Of The Assumption.The angle was wrong to see it.

Great pic Bill, Thank you.

Beautiful photo!! It looks like that pic was taken just east of Mt. Bohemia....the more snow the better up in that area....can't wait to get out on the slopes!

THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! I would love to be up there right now, able to have to worry about driving! I think I could handle it! (As long as I had a Pasty with me!)

Beautiful! Please send some of that snow to Chicago!

Capt. Paul in Nevada, Just wanted to say Hppy Holidays to you and Dr. Nat. We have missed you and wish you both well.

I think Dave's (from Laurium) photo should be the photo of the day tomorrow......spectacular.....calendar material!

How pretty! The top photo could work for a Christmas card! Happy Holidays!

Blue, sunnyskies with lots of fresh snow, which is equally beautiful at night with the Christmas lights here in Montreal. But it is nice to see the beautiful picture from the vicinity of Bete Grise.

I can hear the quiet.

Such a peaceful serene picture Bill. Thanks for sharing. Just what we need this time of year.

Chistmas card material ,Dave--thanks for the pics.

Nooooooooo Linda, we don't need snow in Chicago, of course I don't mind it. My ATV with a snow plow is all set, so bring it on.
Just hate those 4 hour rush hours and people with a lack of driving capabilities.

Gary - Wis,
reminds me of driving to school in my 1957 Chevy pickup! Thanks for the memories!

Hey Marg :-)
Same to you and the kids. We wish we were back up there this time of the year, BUT, there may be a change in the near future as to our place of residence. Will keep you and the rest of the PastyCam family posted.............

Love the photo,thanks Mary, it is truly GOD's country like my Dad always said, he grew up in Houghton, we make an annual trip up there during the summer, hike, swim in Lake Superior, SO COLD, but remember my daughter going in like a fish when she was just 6 months old.. I will never forget the UP and all of it's beauty, and will never stop visting.. would actually love to have a partner who loves this also, call if you're interested, I'm 50, fit, 2 kids, good job, preferalby needing someone with a sense of humor,
stable income, honest,sincere...COME TO ME BABY..
just kidding...no actually I'm not, should be interesting if I hear from anyone

Okay - that's it. I'm packing my bags and moving up there tomorrow morning. Oh what the heck - I'll leave right now! Think my boss will mind if I don't show up tomorrow? Two great photos today!

Great pictures!!! Where are they taken? I see Mother Nature wanted to decorate for the season, but she can stop now. lol

Hi Kim near Lansing. This picture must look like central Florida this A.M. with the sprinklers running on the orange groves.(To early for Oranges?)

This is my new wallpaper as well. Still don't have any white stuff down here in Maryland yet, but coming home to MI next week, hopefully for a White Christmas. Hey Yellowgirl. See you soon!!

A raeal gem Sir Dave! Thanks

How I miss Michigan and the U.P.

Awesome photo

These photos are some of the best I've seen of the UP. The pictures show some of the familiar places taken from a different point of view. These different points of view show how much planning and thought went into the composition of these pictures. Hope we can see more of these excellent pictures.

Great Job Mr. Dave Love that snow!!!!

Great Job Mr. Dave How I love that snow Just like Paradise Michigan.
