**Happy New Year, all. **

Sharing a short video that **visualizes 8 years of land data growth in 75 seconds**; a reminder that it’s easy to reach out to the Loveland team any time, and, just because it’s the season, some winter pics from the snowy north.

Our **co-founder and CTO, Larry Sheradon**, recently blew my mind when he made this short time-lapse of our nationwide dataset growing by the day from 2013 through the present: [https://youtu.be/rfgh7aqRx7I](https://youtu.be/rfgh7aqRx7I)

Our whole job at Loveland is to **make it easy for you to access and work with this land and property information.** As a refresher, we can do that for you in a variety of complimentary ways:

- **[A free online viewer](https://app.regrid.com) **
- **[A free mobile app](https://regrid.com/apps)**
- **[Subscription software](https://regrid.com/pro)**
- **[Nationwide bulk data licenses](https://regrid.com/parcels) **
- **[A data API](https://regrid.com/parcel-api)**
- **[Vector & rastor tiles](https://regrid.com/tiles)**
- **[A county Data Store](https://regrid.com/store)**

We try to lay it all out neatly at [landgrid.com](http://landgrid.com), but with so many options and so much data, you can always reach us at [team@landgrid.com](mailto:team@landgrid.com) to tell us what you’re looking for or trying to accomplish and we’ll get back to you within a day to help you find the right solution.

And while I’m here, since we’re smack dab in the middle of winter, I can’t not share some views of what it looks like in **Michigan’s Upper Peninsula** right now.

The **Loveland team** is spread out across the country, but this is the current view through the window of our home office in **Calumet**, where **Mary** and I have relocated full-time from Detroit since March, trading skyscrapers for **frozen stalactites** — a different, but equally inspiring view:

This is **“pancake ice”** on **Lake Superior**, the largest freshwater lake on earth (well, largest by surface area — there’s a deeper one in Russia that’s smaller on the surface, but has more volume… I’ll still give it to Superior, though):

This is the glow of lights in town bouncing off low-flying lake effect clouds in a light snow on a **cross-country ski trail**:

This is new-fallen snow on a **freshly groomed trail** — getting outdoors and skiing has become my go-to way to unplug and recharge outdoors in winter:

This is an ice formation on a **frozen, rocky beachscape** — my rock picking is basically on pause until spring at this point, though I’ve got a couple of rock tumblers going around the clock in the garage: 

I’ve got too many of these pictures, so I’ll stop there, but the landscape is amazing, and land is more than data about land, so I wanted to share. Depending on where you are in the world, I hope you’re still finding joy in the seasons and the outdoors if you’re experiencing short, cold, gray days. Hang in there.

Watch out for **more exciting product updates** coming from the Loveland team this year. The products are already outstanding, but we’re not resting on our laurels. 

Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay connected to the land,

**Happy Mapping!**
