We may not have hurricanes here, but Gitche Gummi can do her best impression of one.

The temp was -12F when I ran from my warm car to capture a few shots before dashing back the the warmth of my heated seat. The water of Lake Superior is warmer than the air which produces the mist, also known as sea smoke.
