Buckle up for even more snow tonight, folks! Northwest flow will bring 6-8 inches of snowfall to areas in the Traverse Bay region. Give yourself a little extra time on your commute tomorrow!

Best places to go sledding?

Hi! Where is the best place to get out and take my kids sledding now that we have enough snow (and a snow day!)?

Is there any good quiet gyms here in town?

I’m just looking for a quiet(ish) gym that allows kids (13+) to go to with my brothers. I know there’s planet fitness but I don’t know how quiet that is around 12-5.

Seeking like minded non MAGA meet ups/clubs/board games to help survive the grey winter months. On line or in person

Hello. 65yo, member of the LGBTQ community who foolishly thought there was no way Trump could win is feeling anxious. Hoping there might be something out there. I’m primarily in the Charlevoix/Emmet/Cheboygan region

Christmas tree cutting

Looks like we can get a permit for national forest land down near Cadillac, anyone know if we can do anything similar for land closer to TC instead of the tree farms??

Transportation to Medical Appointments

My parents are spending their first winter in TC in 15 years. My dad recently found out that his cancer is back. He is starting daily radiation treatments at Munson. They are in their 80’s and I’m worried about them driving if the weather is bad. They live out in Deepwater Point, near the Resort, and they’d be traveling into the main hospital on 6th Street.

I have a call into his care team at Munson to see if they have any transportation services we can access.

Just curious if anyone has one to recommend?

Thank you!

More lake effect snow today into Monday: Lake effect snow bands will continue to intrude into northern Michigan, which could lead to quick drops in visibility if traveling into one. Some areas could see an additional foot of snow by tomorrow morning.

Geeky/nerdy events in town?

I’m looking to see if anyone knows of any nerdy type events or things to do in the city? Maybe video game or anime related?

Apartments?

I was looking around to see about any of the ‘cheaper’ apartments here? Any opinions on the sugarplum apartments, village glen apartments, and the bay hill apartments/townhomes? I know it all goes off availability etc but I’m curious about opinions and safety? If there was any other apartments in town or around town I’d be interested in, I do have a dog though. Thank you in advance!

New resident from downstate

I’m sure you’re all sick of these posts, but I’m moving up north to the TC area from downstate & need recommendations on snow tires vs great all season tires. I’ve lived in southeast Michigan my whole life, so I’m used to driving in that kind of snow, but not northern Michigan snow. I drive an AWD Subaru Crosstrek & I’m in need of new ”summer tires” as well, hence why I’m hesitant to buy two new sets of tires lol.

Totally understand snow tires are the gold standard, but would I be able to handle my first winter in brand new, good all-seasons? Or should I bite the bullet and get snow tires? Recommendations appreciated as well! Thanks.

Alt areas

Howdy,

I’m an alt teen and I’m just curious if there’s any place where I can meet other alt people?

I find it so hard in this area there doesn’t seem to be any actual alt areas.

Gas prices

Kudos to TC’s Mutual Gas for not raising prices this week, or a few weeks ago, when all of the other gas stations raised them 15 - 30 cents. Guess we know who’s looking out for locals.

Thanksgiving Volunteer Recommendations

Gobble Gobble.

Family plans fell through and I need something to do. This one seems like a good bet: https://upnorthlive.com/news/local/volunteers-needed-to-help-feed-hundreds-on-thanksgiving-day

but if there's another that you have had a good experience with, I'm all ears.
