Low visibility on Superior today brings the passing freighters a little closer to Grand Marais! And, what a perfect photo opportunity! On the left, heading east to Cleveland, is the Clyde S. Vanenkevort. Heading west, to Marquette, is the Herbert C Jackson.

Can't get views like this anywhere! You never know what you'll see from the Voyageurs! Expect the unexpected!!!

When the Mackinac Bridge was dedicated in the spring of 1958, General Motors provided eighty-three white Oldsmobile convertibles to carry beauty queens from each county across the bridge.

Old article, but interesting read for Harrison fans. I wish they'd have included photos of beautiful Grand Marais, considering this is where his cabin was.

The author traces his personal history with this Michigan region, reflecting on everything from a remarkable act of kindness to his fiction to “probably the best sound on earth.”

-Long-Range Forecast Update-

A pattern change is increasingly likely in the 10-14 day timeframe. The first big trough is expected to move through next weekend (something to watch as it could impact us), which will gradually break the westerly flow and go northwesterly. This is expected to happen between February 5th and the 12th. However, this pattern change will be different than the last one in several ways.

-This one is expected to last longer, potentially well into March.
-A gradual pattern change is expected, with colder and more active conditions starting around the 6th, but the arctic air isn't expected to come until the third week of February (timing could change).
-We aren't expecting as cold of temperatures as the one earlier this month, but 10-15 degrees below average is possible.
-No SSW (Sudden Stratospheric Warming) event is currently expected.

Although no pattern change is the exact same, there are some similarities that I'm seeing with the last one compared to the expected one in the 1-2 week timeframe.

-This is a favorable setup for significant winter storms.
-Shots of brutally cold air (wind chills below zero?) are possible during the last two weeks of February and into March.
-The lake effect could be significant with the northwest flow and cold air in place.

The image shows the temperature anomalies aloft. They don't look overly impressive (dark blue), but that's because we are 10-14 days away from an ensemble, so they are conservative. We will have more updates as we get closer, but the chances for a pattern change continue to rise.

We're a wonderful place to see the aurora, fairly frequently...

Due to the 'solar maximum,' when the sun reaches the peak of an 11-year cycle, the aurora borealis is expected to be at its best this year.
