Lessons learned from UP winters In response to How are you coping with our worst weather? By Donna Rieder I have fond memories of spending my teen and young adult years in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There was a K-mart across the street from our house, and after a few snows, the plows would push the snow up to the bottom of the K-Mart sign, a good 30' off the ground! We had a sizable back yard, and Daddy would snow-blow the whole middle of it after each snow, and every night he'd let the hose run slow overnight. Then all of us kids would have fun ice-skating after school until suppertime. We'd also have fun sliding down the snowbanks on our saucers. Living in the UP taught me many practical ways of dealing with the weather, which still serve me well. Dressing in layers and having warm boots with good lugs was important, as was owning a pair of good sunglasses to avoid snow-blindness, a condition where a solid white world and bright sun can leave you unable to see when you came indoors.

Electricians are needed for the housing industry Ten thousand. That's how many electricians are needed to take jobs that offer up to a six-figure salary and full benefits. And, there is an annual shortfall in the electrician workforce of at least 3,000. With the global data center construction market booming, driven by AI, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure demands, more than $200 billion is expected to be spent on data center development globally, with the U.S. as a major hub. And for that global investment, they need electricians. Article continues... click here to read the whole article, or to share, print, or bookmark it. 2026-01-30 23:16:36 | Comments

How are you coping with our worst weather? One week ago, Friday, January 23, 2026, we were in the frantic, final hours of preparation for what was predicted to be our region's worst winter storm. Each day since then we have dealt with different dangers and challenges - power, water, dropping limbs and trees, solid ice that can't melt. Thank you to every single man and woman who has a job in service of rescue and safety - if you've had to work outside, you have our deepest gratitude. Today, Friday, January 30th, we continue to battle the elements of frozen ice with more snowflakes falling as this is written.
