Big idea?

Whose big idea was it to come north a week early! Where is the nearest hotel! I told you so!

Tom MacKay of Park Point has indicated some frustration with the weather.

Internet outage!

Update: 9:30AM - Camera power and internet restored for now - the storm continues in Duluth with high winds and heavy snow.-- Most roads are hazardous

Update 5AM Friday -- Internet/power outage still persists at the primary camera center.

7PM Thursday -- An Internet outage has forced the cameras offline for now!

Lake Superior - Wet and Wild

Although 50 MPH winds off Lake Superior puts a halt to shipping traffic, the high waves and icy spray seems to attract Duluthians and visitors alike to the shoreline to watch the big lake flex it's muscles.
I  stopped by this morning before the snow started to catch a glimpse of this awesome wonder.
Wish you were here!  View more pictures HERE
