Happy #Thursday afternoon from the #Northland.
We are waiting for a #storm system from the west to swing through the region with its #rain #showers.
Meanwhile, showers from a storm system to our southeast is impacting some of us in northwest #Wisconsin and the #UpperPeninsula.
We will all see showers by tonight.
So there is construction coming into our cabin from both of the normal ways we take so we had to take the back, BACK way down dirt roads and seasonal roads (if my husband hadn't been with me I would be lost in the woods right now). Yeah. An adventure in the EUP. Did see a blue heron take off from a pond in the middle of nowhere though so there's that.

This was at the Mackinac Bridge at about 7:30 this morning. They closed the bridge due to falling ice shortly after we crossed. I-75 from St. Ignace down to about Grayling was wrecked- thousands of trees down. Didn't even get off the expressway because most places have no power.
While forecast #snowfall totals could shift, it is likely the #Minnesota side of the #Northland will see at least 6-inches by Wednesday night. The North Shore will see at least 12-inches in spots.
Minor #ice accumulations, up to 0.1", are possible in northwest #Wisconsin and the #UpperPeninsula.
A #thunderstorm or two also cannot be ruled out for Wednesday.
The tree is just a little frosty after the ice storm. #tree #IceStorm #michigan #UpperPeninsula
