Leelanau Almanac for the Week of December 4 – December 10, 2008
Crystal River Snow by jsorbieus
News from the Week
News - we had lots! The big story this week was the launch of our 2008 Leelanau Gift Guide, stuffed fuller than Santa's sleigh with great gifts made and sold right here in Leelanau County! Other stories included budget woes affecting everything from home heating to snow plowing & road maintenance (though not the maintenance that will close the Glen Lake Narrows bridge). If there's any bright spot to this gloom, it may be that Leelanau County has the lowest unemployment in Michigan.
The Week's Weather
Speaking of gloom, the first time I saw the sun this week was 2:05 PM today! That's some February-class gloom!! That, plus over a foot and a half of snow means that we are all entitled to get cabin fever a month early this year!
