Although a bit on the chilly side to wade in the Lake Superior water, the beach draws people for an afternoon of fun in the sun on the sand on this holiday weekend.

An empty beach midweek, except for the seagulls that took to flight, probably had more visitors this holiday weekend to enjoy some fishing and beachcombing where the Brule River meets Lake Superior.

Next weekend, the holiday vacationers may head to the beach, but today with the temperatures in the 50s and Lake Superior water temp at 39, the beaches are not crowded and there are not too many brave souls taking a swim in the lake.

Big snowflakes fell again today and with the temperatures below freezing again, it is getting harder to remember that it is supposed to be spring and not winter. And I’m not sure when the snow and ice will be off the beaches to even make sand castles instead of snow castles.

The falling and blowing snow this evening made it hard to see the road. Even a cloudy day on a beach listening to white waves rolling in is better than listen the snow pelleting my vehicle.

The wind has been blowing snow around causing drifts and ripples as it covers objects, but I rather study sand on a beach moving around rocks and driftwood.

Today I saw white rolling across the landscape although it wasn’t white caps from waves but snow blowing across the road from the strong winds and a new coating of snow. The birds lined up at my bird feeders today were mostly purple finch and not any sea gulls from this beach scene.

This afternoon was 50 degrees warmer than yesterday morning, but it was still below freezing. But the warmer temperatures has me dreaming of beaches not covered by snow and ice.

The thermometer on my car said -4 this afternoon and I watched the snow blow around whenever the wind picked up. It sure had me dreaming of July instead of January and warm, sandy beaches.

Sometimes it is hard to walk in deep loose sand, but at least normally it is warmer when walking on a sandy beach than walking in deep snow in below zero temperatures like today.
