Famers' Almanac predicting a "bitterly cold" winter for 2/3rds of the country. http://nation.time.com/2013/08/26/get-ready-for-a-cold-winter/?hpt=hp_t2 For those that enjoy such things! I always take such things with a grain of salt, of course. It's still fun to know that winter is on its way.

Hi John. I was reading about the Blizzard of 1977 that affected shoreline areas of Lake Erie (Buffalo, NY, for example). Very little new snow fell during the blizzard and, if I understand correctly, the blizzard was made up almost entirely of snow that had been picked up off of a frozen Lake...

I live near Duluth, MN. Any thoughts on how the hot summer might impact fall colors in my neck of the woods? Or is there not much of a correlation? For those of you in the U.P., have you heard about how your color show might turn out this year?

How's the Light been??

L. Superior temps warmest in a century. "Horrendous lake effect snow" possible. Pure speculation in regard to the lake effect snow, I suspect. http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/special/columns/updraft/archive/2012/07/balmy_70s_2012_lake_superior_w.shtml

http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/article/id/238140/group/homepage/ The wife and I are going to Marquette for vacation next week. Do you think this will have any bearing on what we pay for gas?

My wife and I are visiting Marquette for three days from July 29 through August 1. I've been to Marquette many times, but it's been several years since I've been there. We're both outdoor folks, so we like "outdoorsy" things. Any ideas on what to do? We want to tour the lighthouse and do a...

http://www.startribune.com/local/155203335.html I apologize if this was already posted, but I found it to be an interesting, short read.

http://1913massacre.com/about/ I'm sorry if this was discussed here before, but I just read about this. I think this could be interesting.

I know John mentioned in his journal that the UP could see some flakes this week. Looks like Accuweather agrees with him as well (brief story on UP snow): http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/news/story/54973/first-snowflakes-of-the-season.asp

I live in MN and I didn't realize parts of the UP were so dry this summer. How have you fared? http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=mqt&storyid=72287&source=0

I can't wait!
