East Coast Visitor Confused By Massive Snow Piles In The U.P.

There's a lot to see in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. If visiting from another state, you may see something you can't explain, like someone did with massive snow piles.

Thawing in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

I have been to Michigan's Upper Peninsula a few times in the winter and once in the spring, and seeing it thaw out is pretty spectacular.

I was ice fishing with a buddy in the U.P. one spring, and we had to lay some boards down on the edge since it was melting to drive out the ATV to fish. It sounds crazy, but the ice stays thicker in the middle when the edges start melting.

I've seen snow in the ditches of the U.P. as late as June. It takes a bit to thaw out the U.P. If you get up to Lake Superior, you can see special thawing near the lake's edges.

Rocks? In Lake Superior

The rocks around Lake Superior get snow and ice throughout the winter. Sometimes rocks thaw out before others. Recently, a visitor to the U.P. posted a photo on the Upper Peninsula Reddit page of rocks in the lake with large blocks of what looked like snow. Below is what Yoopers had to say about the visitors' Reddit thread:

Such a polite answer from this Yooper.

This might be one of the trolls the previous poster mentioned, but I have to admit, I laughed hard too.

There is a nice suggestion to see even more.

Love the sarcasm. Not sure if the person who initiated the thread does.

I wouldn't mind seeing that for myself someday.
