Sitting by a lake watching the sun drop below the horizon on a warm summer day is more appealing than watching the wind whip the falling snow on a cold winter day.

The windy days can help dry the laundry on the lines, but it does cause waves and make a rougher ride on the water. And stormy days are why lighthouses were so important in the past as a navigation aid. The Eagle Harbor lighthouse was built in 1851 and replaced with the present red brick structure in 1871. A fog signal was added in 1895 to the lighthouse complex.
