I have driven past the The Keweenaw Snow Gauge on US-41 between Mohawk and Phoenix in Summer a few times. You get a whole new appreciation for it in the winter when the snow is waist deep in the woods and piled high on the sides of the roads. The life-sized snow gauge shows the Keweenaw’s record snowfall that was set during the winter of 1978-79. During that winter, the Keweenaw received 390.4 inches of snow. Each spring the Keweenaw County Road Commission moves the arrow to indicate how much snow fell during the most recent winter. I wonder when the record will be broken and the gage made taller.
