Snow and ice begin to encroach on Petobego Pond, immediately adjacent to East Grand Traverse Bay in Antrim County. The pond is part of the Petobego Creek Natural Area, recognized by the Michigan Natural Features Inventory as a natural area of statewide significance. This spring, NMC’s Marine Technology division will place a monitoring buoy in East Bay that includes a webcam.
