This was sent to me by a friend. It was taken yesterday afternoon. The UP got over 18" of snow before the storm blew out. For reference, this was taken on the northwest corner of the "Mighty Mac." If you head to the right, you are going south. Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

One of the beautiful things about the UP was the frequency we would see the 'Northrn Lights.' It had to do with the humidity that was in the air and the angle of the sun.
