Blustery Lake Superior
Back in the day, the light keepers at Split Rock and other Great Lakes lighthouses always had relatively easy duty during the summer months. Short nights, warm evenings, and settled weather made their jobs easy at that time of year.
This time of year, late October and November, bring on the rain and snow and days and nights that the northeast winds howls in off of the lake as low front after low front bring in Canadian cold blasts. This October has been the wicked sister to a warm and quiet September that took summer with it.
