Good evening John. I read your journal for this week and am glad to hear you had a great Christmas. You mentioned the atmosphere setting up for a Bayfield Bomber.

Scott F.

I actually nicknamed the convergence band that setup in that event the "Bayfield Bomber" because the peninsula that Bayfield WI is on helped to form the convergence band and the west-southwest winds steered the band just like a firehose into the Keweenaw from about Houghton/Hancock north to Phoenix. …
