yum!
Have you been affected by those flash floods up there in Yooperland? I saw some photos/videos on Facebook and they were something else! I once was considering moving to the Keweenaw, so it was a bit of a shock. (I'd still consider the area, but my hubby doesn't like the snow as much as me.)
We got a lot of rain in the Iron Mountain area, but not nearly as much as they got up by Houghton. We didn't have any serious problems here, just the usual pond in the alley.
I'd like to spend the summer in Mohawk, north of Houghton, and the winter in Tucson, AZ :-)
I'm glad that you fared a bit better. I'm familiar Iron Mountain too - at least from a research/map point of view. So far, I've only barely made it into Yooperland when I lived in Wisconsin (Madison).
Apparently, I had a relative (wife of great-uncle or something like that) who grew up in Calumet.
Snow in Wyoming is irritating. We don't get to keep it - it all just blows away... But you still get the disruption. And get to plow as much as you do in Yooperland. On the plus side, the sculptures the wind makes are much like sand dunes and very pretty.
