Is traveling a goal for you in 2023? We have some destination suggestions. |
If you are the type of person who makes resolutions for each new year, it's possible traveling more is one of your goals for 2023. And I'm with you. I always long to visit new places and see new sights. But if your budget doesn't allow you to traverse the globe, there are so many amazing destinations here in Michigan. First things first, I have to recommend these seven natural wonders of Michigan. If you haven't seen each one of these in person, you will not be disappointed by adding a trip to your vacation calendar in 2023. And speaking of wonders, you could also make a stop to the new SkyBridge Michigan. It's the longest timber-towered suspension bridge in the world. Not an outdoor person? How about traveling to grab a slice at the "weirdest" pizza place in Michigan? Or maybe you could spoil yourself with a stay at one of the top hotels in the Midwest? Wherever 2023 takes you, I hope you enjoy the ride. |

How did our Christmas Week Blizzard compare to the Blizzard of '78? |
Comparing storms: While this recent storm had its bad moments for Michigan - highway pileups, injury crashes, and people trapped in their vehicles - it was not a copycat storm to the famous Blizzard of ‘78. What were the differences? National Weather Service meteorologists at the Grand Rapids office have released a side-by-side storm comparison for the 2022 Christmas Week Blizzard and the Blizzard of 1978. Here’s what they had to say. Trees damaged by blizzard?

I offer you 3 cool Michigan stories to entertain you during this laid-back holiday week. |
One of the best places to hit the slopes: Michigan is home to one of the country's top-rated ski resorts. To get there, you will have to venture into a remote destination in our beloved Upper Peninsula. Check it out, skiing enthusiasts. Oil slick? Nope! Those are feathered friends: Dense, dark patches recently seen floating atop the water at the Straits of Mackinac were not remnants of an oil spill — they were ducks. Thousands and thousands of ducks.
The beauty of winter:Even if you are a summer-loving Michigander like me, you can't deny the beauty winter brings to our state. MLive photographer Gracie Smith took a trip to Silver Beach County Park and Tiscornia Park in St. Joseph to show you the picture perfect scenes left behind by the blizzard. |
