sounds like thunder

Was the scene yesterday on Lake Superior. We had a gale blowing up here in Marquette. So what's one to do? Head out to the lake, brave winds strong enough to test your balance, hike through cornea pummeling snow grains flying sideways, put up with eye watering, and nose watering, bone chilling cold. There's nothing else I'd rather be doing on days like these. Three hats, three layers of coats, two layers of pants, and goggles, and toasty Baffin boots and I'm hiking ready. At the height of the big sets that rolled through yesterday afternoon, there were some monsters. Was a creepy feeling when the snow squalls would come through and you only heard the waves crashing, cause you couldn't see 'em. That's when I realized the waves sounded just like thunder.
