I guess in one respect the timing of it was perfect.
We had another snow day yesterday, the third since the 2026 began. If there was any question that this year is a quirky return to what we're calling a “Throwback Winter' around here, that question has been answered.
In fact, Mother Nature, I think you may actually be trying to make up for three years of mild winters all at once, and you're more than welcome to take a break from your efforts. Really, you are.
Don't believe that it's an insane winter? Here's what it looked like yesterday--
However, the latest wind-whipped weather episode did, in a strange way, come at a fortuitous time. The latest video in this season's “Pieces of the Past” dropped on the snow day, and if nothing else it allowed us to give a shout out to the people who help keep streets and highways around here clean when Mother Nature throws a fit. Now, the video wasn't actually about road workers, although that might be an interesting topic for some future batch of episodes. Instead, the topic was about one of the roads they strive to keep clean, a stretch of highway that's actually one of the newest in the UP. For some bizarre reason, I had a blast researching this particular topic, and had my mind blown one fact in particular--
The day the stretch of highway opened. Watch the video, and you'll understand why--
Thankfully, the snow seems to have laid off for a little bit, which means that I really do need to get to work, just in time for it to snow a little more this afternoon and tonight.
This is getting a little tiring, Mother Nature. Like I said, you're more than welcome to give it a little rest. I'm really thinking that no one up here will complain all that much.
