In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Near record-cold air blowing down exceptionally warm waters is making for a high-end, and unusually early, lake-effect snow event.

I recognized this road straight away, having only driven it once in the winter of 2022. Truly stunning in any season. When I was there it was completely covered in ice and the tree branches looked like they'd been hung with crystals.

What is already one of the most beautiful parts of the state absolutely comes alive in the fall. I've been wanting this shot for years, but I either couldn't get there during peak or there were active droughts.
