Who Needs The Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil To Determine The End Of Winter? Burn A Snowman Instead With Laker Superior State University!
With snowfall this year in the Eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan dwarfing the annual average of 120 inches, Lake Superior State University continues its 51-year tradition of melting even the coldest of hearts by hosting a Snowman Burning to signal the spring season. The event, which serves as the centerpiece of a flurry of activities that comprises LSSU’s Springfest, is free and open to the public and takes place on Friday, March 18, 2022, at 6 PM in Cisler Plaza on the Lake State campus.
“This is no snow job,” said LSSU President Dr. Rodney S. Hanley. “Lake State gathers Laker students, faculty, staff, and alumni, along with community members, as the first day of spring approaches to burn a paper effigy of Old Man Winter as a giant snowman. Don’t get me wrong. We love the winter wonderland that the region becomes. But given the sheer volume of snow and ice that blankets the area for months on end, I am not shoveling it when I say that Lakers believe the rising smoke will ward off blizzard conditions and usher in moderate weather.” Read more.
