i’d planned to head up north to visit family this week

but I took a look at the weather

 decided I’ll wait a week or so

some parts of the north were hit with a 100 year storm

especially in the upper peninsula 

where the yoopers are a hardy lot.

In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, unseasonable weather is the result of a conflict between Titania and Oberon, queen and king of the fairies. 

The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts
Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose,
And on old Hiems’ thin and icy crown
An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
Is, as in mockery, set. The spring, the summer,
The childing autumn, angry winter, change
Their wonted liveries, and the mazèd world
By their increase now knows not which is which.

– William Shakespeare – A Midsummer Night’s Dream

  9. Um, when the snowdrifts are so big you can touch the roof, that’s a lot of snow! You make me feel bad for whining about snow and having a tough winter. Wow! Looks almost AI like. Crazy Beth! Have fun. And just remember … spring isn’t too far away! 🤣🤣❄️❄️❄️😎

    • it’s all relative, and speaking of relatives, I decided to wait a bit before heading north for my visit ). looking forward to real spring. luckily in Ann Arbor we are just dealing with very high winds and temp that’s fluctuating between 70 and 20 degrees. that’s normal, right?)

  15. Wow, sounds like a wild storm! I’m all for visiting family, but I’d rather not get buried in snow. Yoopers are tough, but I’m more of a hot cocoa and blanket kinda person! Hi, I am Emily Williams from galaxyonknowledge.blogspot.com

  23. Wow! I lived in the Dakotas for 9 years as a child, so these photos bring back many memories. Similar to the photograph, there is one of me walking onto the roof, where a large snowdrift had formed. These 100-year storms seem to be happening every year.

  30. I wouldn’t even know where to start in something like that?! How do you even get out of your house? I got claustrophobic just looking at these pictures. Yikes! 100 year storm indeed.

    • I feel for them -. you’ll be happy to know that one woman snowed in a rescue shelter chose to stay and take care of the animals and then was dug out yesterday – what a hero
