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.

The above normal temperature this afternoon felt nice, but it was still below freezing so unlikely to be walking on the beach in shorts or wading into the water since there is already ice forming on Lake Superior. And more likely to see snowflakes in the sky and not rainbows this cloudy day.

There were a variety of celebrations to ring in the New Year this evening, including some firework displays. Mother Nature can put on its own nighttime light snow when the Aurora Borealis dance across the sky.

The wind was lighter today than the past few days so the waves have lessen on Lake Superior but the forecast has stronger gusts again on Sunday which will likely bring back the Gales of November.

The sunshine made a great day for a hike through along the lake shore, especially since the temperatures reached the mid 60s which is above average for a November day.

At the end of the long work week, this Lake Superior commercial fishing boat is heading into port after a colder November week.

Many outdoor activities were taking place today as it probably will be the last 70 degree day for the rest of the year until next spring.

The cloudy day brought several brief rain showers and even some sunshine while it was raining.

With the way the wind has been blowing the last couple of times, I would be too chicken to go out on this commercial fishing boat on Lake Superior. I would stick to the shore and watch the waves rolling in and not feeling them on the water.

It was a great day to spend a Sunday afternoon at a beach, with temperatures in the upper 80s, picking up pretty rocks and wading in the waves. Today might be the last near 90 degree day for the rest of the year as the week’s forecast is calling for highs in the 60s instead.
