Re: Lake Superior Storm..here is the URL!
Great Pictures Larry. May we assume that the wind was blowing out of the east? And just think any time now all that water coming over the break wall will turn to ice. Spectacular, but not conducive to navigation.

Re: Lake Superior Storm..here is the URL!
Larry,
Record high temps here. However, we are keeping an eye on Olga. She may be the first hurricane (downrated to a tropical storm earlier today) to ever hit the Bahamas in December. Then she could turn north and bother us too.
Enjoy,

Re: Lake Superior Storm..here is the URL!
Since posting that URL for those pictures, I talked to a good friend that lives literally next door tot he high bridge..has the high bridges lights in his side yard. In fact one of the pictures was shot from his porch, and the lights can be seen to the left of the picture.
His front yard is the beach on Superior, and he says that the waves are going around his house and out into the road behind the house. Heh, should be good for ice skating to work! ;^)
Yup..that was the good old fabled and feared Nor'Easter as we get them in this area. They have what, 330 miles or a bit more to roll onwards..I know it's not like what you guys on the coasts see in the big storms, but I guess it's all relative. This was a corker of a storm, with much damage discovered as the folks get back to work.

Re: Scuppers.........! ! !
Captain DeMers,
Good thing the walkway has scuppers! Heh, NOT a good day for a walk "Down by the Bay". Hey, how much windage and weather helm does a vessel of that size have anyhow? How can they possibly put to sea knowing they must transit a narrow channel before they get to the open stuff? What did the Captain do, ring up "All engines full ahead", when he slipped the lines from the bollards? Also, is that really snow I see? Hey, maybe you should forget about travelogues and write about "Heavy Weather Sailing"! Weather here today in CT is in high 50's to low 60s. Do people up in the far North country eat more Mexican food when it is cold???.....Just bustin' ...I'll take the warm weather for a little while longer...

Even news in California!
Believe it or not, the top pic even appeared on the front page of the local paper (Press Democrat) in Santa Rosa, CA. Normally that would have been an indication of a really slow news day but, since we don't have those any more, it was obviously a storm that was nationally newsworthy. Even though I've seen summer noreasters on the lake, obviously they don't have anything on winter storms.

Re: Even news in California!
Hi Serge,
I've got those great pictures setup as rotating wallpaper on my computer at work..people think it's the ocean..that was a storm alright. the Madeline Island Ferry is *still * running Serge. No ice yet, but tons of snow up in Bayfield..I hear the drifts are at 9 ft. already.
Still planning on anchoring out with us this summer?? Let me know when you will be up.
