Back in 2000, Dan Urbanski (RIP) shared a photo he had taken in downtown Silver City. That’s the Big Iron River with a somewhat rare ice formation, where it’s kept broken by wave action. Eventually the pieces become quite rounded by the constant grinding and are often referred to as pancake ice.

Roger Somero took the next shot in 2004. It may not seem beautiful to you, unless you burn wood to stay warm during the winter months. Lots of back-breaking work goes into cutting, splitting and stacking a winter wood supply and it’s a satisfying feeling when your shed is piled high and ready for the winter chill to set in.

Our third photo shows a number of brave “wave watchers” out at the Breakers near McLain State Park. Joy Ziemnick was there, also, watching the waves and the “watchers” back in 2016. When the Keweenaw gets whipping winds, Lake Superior gets all riled up, which brings folks out to witness the action of the crashing and splashing waves, even when the air is frigid and cold.

Ashley Hendricks was in just about the same spot for some wave watching a year later, in 2017. The video is over seven minutes, but it really gives you a good idea of the fury that builds up on Lake Superior during a good old fashion storm.

Fierce video and kudos to Ashley for enduring the weather.
Was that the storm that damaged the coastline?

Lot's of work went into that 2004 pic!! That video makes me want to put on my speedo and go wave jumping, Alex care to join me??..... NOT!! :=)) lol

Have a great weekend all!!

UC...so long as they don't clash with my new Spanx.
