The traditional January thaw is here
It’s been a pretty quiet week around here. We haven’t received any significant snowfall and the temperature has been pretty mild for mid-January. Since about Wednesday we’ve been in the low 30s and this weekend looks really warm – upper 30s, close to 40. By Tuesday, though, the forecast shows the temps. will be dropping back to normal and snow (yahoo!). Some new snowfall will definitely help freshen up what’s currently on the ground. On Munising Bay, more and more ice shanties are appearing daily. The entire Bay “looks” froze over but the level of safety is very, very questionable. Closer to shore, I’ve heard there’s about 6-8 inches of ice and people have been catching whitefish. Until it gets colder, I’ll keep buying whitefish at the grocery store.
In the last week, we’ve added some new webpages to Explore Munising. The new pages feature Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, the Hiawatha National Forest and the hidden gem – Grand Island Recreation Area. The pages include things to do and see, maps, helpful links and other resources. Each recreation area lists a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities that are available throughout the year.
