With the rain and warmer temperatures earlier in the week, the ice that was forming on some of the shores of Lake Superior have melted. But unfrozen beaches will not last all winter and will soon be iced over again until spring.

With ice forming in the harbors along Lake Superior, very few sailboats are still in the water as the cold winter weather is settling in for the long haul. This sailboat wasn’t too far away from a 1909 shipwreck. And on this day in 1941, many ships were sunk during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The weather today kept changing from snow, to freezing rain, to snow pellets, to ice pellets, to sleet and back to snow again. I don’t like the icy stuff, especially in my yard and I rather only see it when it creates the ice formations along Lake Superior.

A month ago the leaves were falling, but this morning snow was falling instead and blocked any hint of a sunrise.

The autumn colors are peaking in the southern part of the state but in the northern counties, autumn is past the color peak and many leaves have found a new home on the ground so memories and pictures have to be the visual reminders until next year’s autumn display.

Sections of Lake Superior shores are needing to be clean up after yesterday storm which had big waves crashing in from the strong winds. Today people were surveying the damage and even these birds were checking out the new debris which the waves washed up on shore now that the lake has quieted down.

Today was a great fall day to be enjoyed outside before the weather changes as it is more pleasurable to watch a sunrise or sunset when the white is from clouds and not snow.

Some people were enjoying a late summer warm day with water activities today as the temperature climbed above 80 after a previous chilly week. But while pools and smaller lakes would be warm enough for swimming, Lake Superior near where this duo were checking out the water is already down to upper forties so it would be a very refreshing swim.

The sailboats were resting in the early morning light but after a cold, wet week, I suspect that some of them would be spreading their sails on the lake on a sunny Sunday.

The wind and rain from the storm churned up the Lake Superior as the waves crashed into shore.
