Still Foolin'...

And I thought we were the butt of a joke last week!
This is a picture of the waves crashing ashore at Brighton Beach, the public access at the far northeastern end of town.

Here is a video of part of the most recent storm we've experienced here in the Northland (Sorry if it takes forever to download). Snow fall totals averaged around 10 inches, but the water content was so high that it was essentially raining slush. Then it started blowing slush, so we have interesting drift formations. This following video is of the shipping channel at Wisconsin Point on April 11.
In addition, we visited several other places in the Twin Ports to observe the pandemonium. Here are some images of those awesome stops. This is the view from the observation room at the Maritime Museum in Duluth.
We were intrigued by the numbers of people out enjoying the weather, realizing that this must be evidence of the shared psychosis many residents in the Northland possess. Everywhere we went, there were bunches of people there first. Even when we drove all the way out to the end of Wisconsin point, over chunks of tree branches in the road and around massive potholes, we weren't the first crazy people there. (We were more likely to get out of the car than they were, though, so that may provide a scale to measure our craziness...)
