UP News and UP Snow Totals Feb 1
Dusting of snow with warm weather continuing into next week.
Not much to write today. Another warm day with more sunshine, I could get used to this but it is still a bit early I do still want to have somewhat of a winter yet before we really start warming up.
Just a dusting of snowfall today once again. Most likely that will be the case for the next 8-10 days until it cools down again.

Thank you for the link to the news articles. The link to the article about the Highland mines, 'Highland CEO meets with Michigan Strategic Fund officials' from the Daily Globe, is an article written from the mine side of the story. The mine is located right next to the Porcupine Mountains State park and the North County Trail. There is a group called 'Protec the Porkies' that has pictures and videos of the wilderness that has already been destroyed by the Highland Copperwood mining company. From everything I have seen, this is a tragedy for the beautiful Porcupine Mountains. Protect the Porkies website: https://protecttheporkies.com/
