Winter Storm on Lake Michigan


Today's winter storm brought some snow and amazingly fierce winds. I have rarely seen the lake behaving so dramatically. Of course, intrepid Swedish sailor that he is, Mats insisted on driving down to the sailing beach. At least he didn't ask if I spotted anybody sailing...

You don't quite get a sense of the waves' hypnotic force, but the sound is great.

The storm sounds wild on the lake. We had strong winds in northern Vermont yesterday too, but the morning snow turned to rain as the temperature rose through the 40s. The winds didn't rise to the fury of last week's storm, when many of us lost power for hours, even days.

These storms remind us of our vulnerability, don't they? We hardly got enough snow (WI and MI got socked) and so now the plants are barely covered. I no longer worry since I can't control any of it. Spring will tell..
