Blizzard 12/23/2020

One of the most powerful blizzards in years blew into the region last Wednesday. For the storm watchers out there, here are a few minutes of the storm as it passed through Canal Park here in Duluth MN.

The Algoma Intrepid backs out of the Duluth Shipping Canal 12/25/2020


In an unusual maneuver, the 650 ft Algoma Intrepid captain decided to avoid the harbor ice and back his way out of the Duluth Harbor this afternoon.
Even the typical boat/bridge salute was backward.  
The Intrepid was built in 2020. 

Sea Smoke Sunrise at the Canal 12/25/2020 (Timelapse)

Cold air (-10F) moving over the relatively warm waters of Lake Superior lifts sea smoke into the sky to mix with the light of a Christmas Day sunrise. 
A present from Heaven!

Notice how the ice flow changes direction from the beginning to the end of the 90 min time frame.

Merry Christmas!
