Lake Superior Ice Cover

It's really starting to look like the arctic around here. On TV6's website they have a funny story about someone putting a row of cardboard penguins up on the ice piles on Lake Superior by the visitor center. Gotta have a sense of humor when the snow starts piling up past the windows.
NWS now says there's significant ice cover on Lake Superior. I wish it would just ice over completely to put an end to the lake effect snow for the year already! It just keeps coming, we have two more systems that are going to move through by Sunday. That means potentially, a heck of a lot more snow with nowhere to put it.

Ah, to see the ground again. Well, we can always go back and look at photos to see what the Big Lake looks like when there's water, not pack ice as far as the eye can see! Here's Lake Superior on warmer days

And one of my hobbies is to photograph the local surf crew, a great bunch of guys. Check out Lake Superior surfing here.

I'm finally starting to update my main photography site. Here's a batch from a wonderful stretch of Lake Superior, called Wetmore Landing.
