🌊 Northern Michigan is recovering from historic flooding—but experts say it’s a wake-up call. With aging dams and more extreme weather, major changes may be needed to prevent future disasters.

🗳️ A high-stakes special election Tuesday could shift control of Michigan’s Senate—and impact what gets done in Lansing.

♻️ Got hazardous waste? Drop it off at the Transfer Station this weekend—most items are free to dispose of.

❄️ Winter’s not done yet—freeze warnings continue, with temps dipping into the 20s overnight in some areas.

❄️ And speaking of winter—the Keweenaw just logged over 360 inches of snow this season… a big year, even if it didn’t break the record.

⚖️ In Traverse City, a recall effort is growing against Prosecutor Noelle Moeggenberg, with critics citing plea deals—while she says sentencing is largely out of her hands.

❄️ And yes… snow. There were reports of flakes overnight on Beaver Island as temps drop into the 30s—don’t worry, spring should really be here...by mid-May.
