We waited for the snow to begin Tuesday afternoon and then into the evening. A few snowflakes began at around 6pm and then stopped abruptly an hour later. The kids went to bed hoping for school to be closed the next day as the weather forecaster were still predicting snow. At 5am Daphne needed to go outside. Mike reported back that the driveway was bare – no snow. The winds had been strong and gusty all night long and continued throughout the day on Wednesday. Sustained winds were around 50mph at one point and a gust of 70mph was recorded on the Bong Bridge between Duluth and Superior. The waves on the lake continued to be high. I made a stop in Canal Park at the location I took photos the day before. The spray of lake water in the parking lot was too much for me to even get out of my vehicle – no pictures and still no snow. I couldn’t help but check back this morning (Thursday) after the winds had died down to see what the landscape looked like next to the Aerial Lift Bridge and Lake Superior shore…it was incredible!
Mother nature never ceases to amaze us. Our weather may not be the best in the country, but it certainly is the most interesting and beautiful.

Burr… I’m getting the chills just from looking at the photos. Though, I have to say these are very nice images considered the working condition. 🙂

Thank you! I definitely did not have the best of hair days this week! You either have to embrace MN weather or move. 🙂

I’ve enjoyed the winter and some of the interesting weather we’ve had, but I think I am definitely ready to photograph something green. I sure hope spring is coming soon.

Great photos! I made it to Duluth about a month ago and got some great pictures of ice in Canal Park too! It is so beautiful there! I loved every minute of it!

I’m glad you were able to visit our beautiful city. Lake Superior never ceases to amaze me. We have our share of wildlife too. There were ducks out on the ice flows last week and I had six deer in my backyard yesterday and today. So cool – except for my poor shrubs that are now completely pruned back by the deer (and rabbits).

I’ve been in love with Lake Superior since I first saw it when I was nine! Some year I am going nearer to it, but for now I am just happy to be able to visit once in a while! It’s so great to watch nature…lakes, rivers and animals! And they truly are amazing!
