I lived on K. I. Sawyer AFB at the age of 8-10 back in 1968-70. There were record snows two years in a row in excess on 60 inches deep. I did a lot of snow shoveling in the 4th and 5th grades. Wow! Great pics! Thanks for posting this. It brought back a lot of memories!

Welcome to da U.P. eh! This is my life too, I live in Negaunee. But you gotta take the bad with the good, and there is SO much more good than bad here. I know the winters are long and very harsh and can be overwhelming sometimes but the rest of the year is unreal. That's why I will never leave it. It truly IS Someplace Special.

Y'all need to check out Calumet...national snowfall record (like 30') is 10mi from my house

@robertrohde4579 3 жыл бұрын

Only a few years ago maybe less Calumet got over 390 inches. I think the record there is over 450 inches. Mountain towns out west shatter even the 450 inch total.

@jrodagormykid9063 4 жыл бұрын

Escanaba has relatively mild winters due to being on the tail end of Lake Michigan's Green Bay. The Keweenaw and Alger County get slammed the hardest but winter anywhere in the yoop is pretty ruthless.

@@jrodagormykid9063 it's basically Marquette CITY that has less snow. I live in Negaunee just down the road a ways, and sometimes it's like driving into a curtain of white just west of Midway on 41.

@@butcharmstrong9645 Agreed, I spent a winter on K.I. Sawyer in 2011-2012 and they get dumped on pretty bad. Marquette city specifically has the more mild winters.

My family spent the "wintahs" of '75 and '76 in Presque Isle, ME. The average temp for January each year was -39, we had 13ft of snow in the yard. I plowed the driveway each day twice, the second time after the city plow went through and put a new barrier at the end before I could make the 35 mile drive to work at Ashland. The country snowplow used a 25ft blade and cleared the state road every morning, and we NEVER missed a day of work either winter. Nobody "obsessed" about it either, maybe we were too far north, or maybe it was become we were a conservative state at the time, and no one cared one way or the other?? Too bad the "Occasional Cortex" never got to see it!

Derek Detjen I think you need to check your numbers. Average temperature was -39? Marquette 1901 and the lowest was −33 °F (−36 °C) on February 8, 1861. That’s the record Low!! And a 25ft snow plow doesn’t exist. Everyone likes to talk about what the winters use to be like, 40+ years ago, but they can’t even remember what they had for dinner 2 nights ago.
