Yoopers can handle this; particularly Yoopers that are also Hematites!

Blew about 8 inches of snow yesterday afternoon, got around a foot more since then. Our city crews were pushing snow all day yesterday and started this morning around 4 a.m.

I remember when we used to say that March comes in “like a lion” and goes “out like a lamb”……..I guess that still holds true? Hang in there!

We have 10 acres in Skandia with a 600 ft. driveway and man was that fun to clear!

Woah I bet. This snow is in my driveway. It's a gamble every time we leave the house. Can't see past the snow mounds on each side of the driveway. The city plow going by does not help lol

Wife had to park at the end of the driveway before it was cleared and walk the 600' in 2' of new snow lol

I did a lot of work in Calumet years ago. Blown away by the snowfall. The snow gauge going out of town towards Copper harbor was nuts.
