Good morning, Northern Michigan. This is your cup
of Traverse City for 04/01/2026.
I'm Mike, and I do have my coffee
handy.
So,
today's story is
there's a proposal for a scenic gondola
between Downtown Traverse City and Old Mission Peninsula.
It says Traverse City may soon get a
new way to cross the bay and it's
not by car boat.
The, proposal unveiled this week outlines plans for
a scenic gondola system connecting Downtown Traverse City
to Old Mission Peninsula offering both transportation
and
panoramic views of Grand Traverse Bay.
According to early details, Uganda
would depart from a station near Clinch Park,
possibly the old Bijou building there,
and travel across the water to
multiple stop points along the peninsula including
popular wineries
and, the old Mission Point
Lighthouse.
And,
yeah, it says it'll be enclosed
all season gondola cabins
seating six to eight passengers,
a Mid Bay pause point designed for scenic
viewing and photography,
direct access to select wineries and lookout areas.
Travel time is estimated at under ten minutes
from downtown to the peninsula.
So anyway, interesting story.
Wonder if the date has anything to do
with it,
but good stuff.
Let's look at the weather today,
and it's no joke.
Today, cloudy
then gradually becoming mostly sunny with a high
near 42 northwest wind five to 10 miles
per hour. Tonight,
a slight chance of
snow.
That's not a joke either.
Between 2AM and 5AM,
and rain likely possibly
mixed with snow.
Mostly cloudy with a low around 30.
East wind five to 10 miles per hour.
Chance precipitation
is 60%.
Little or no snow accumulation
expected. Well, that's good.
And Thursday rain likely before seven a. M.
Then rain and freezing rain
between
seven and eight and then rain well they're
being specific.
Rain after eight a. M. Some thunder also
possible. High near 57, southwest wind 10 to
15 with gusts as high as 30. Chance
precipitation
is a 100%.
Little or no ice accumulation
is expected.
So, well, at least the the weather is
not too foolish today.
We'll catch you later.
