A Friendly Helping Hand Goes a Long Way…
Ishpeming, Michigan – January 18th, 2017 – After the storm that we had last Tuesday and Wednesday I found my driveway buried in nearly 2 feet of snow.

Houghton, Michigan – December 27th, 2016 – Is the Copper Country about to set another record for snowfall? I was up in Houghton almost 2 weeks ago and I couldn’t believe how high the snow banks were at that time! Since then, it has been snowing non-stop day and night in the Keweenaw. I filmed […]
