Winter In Yooper Land

I am not so sure if you read my previous entry. If you did, you know where I have been. If you did not, please be notified that I have been lost in compilation… Colloquially speaking, I did not see any light anywhere in the tunnel and instead of resorting to some bar (and alcohol), /me decided to get high on a semester ending warm winter Friday evening. NOOOO, I am not into drugs – reference here is to the high one gets by watching a good game (or two). Watching these live sports events (mostly basketball, sometimes football too) has become a nice addition to my lifestyle and hopefully it will stick with me for times to come. Both our teams (women and men) played very well to beat U Minnesota (Duluth) last night and presented us (the fans) with a very delightful Christmas gift. Couple pictures, one from each game, are below.
#2 making a jump shot for a 2-pointer.
#4 had the game of his career at Tech
Sometime between I went into the Michigan Tech Gym (not to work out, but to watch these games) and came out of it, somebody had gone out and had convinced winter – to come into the Yooper land. And by the time I woke up this morning, there was white stuff everywhere. I still wasn’t getting anywhere with the compilation process and so, after a short stop at Victoria’s Kitchen, I headed off to the northern Keweenaw Peninsula to check out the frest stock of snow

Snow covered trees along US-41
Camp Ground along 7 Mile Point Road – locked entrance didn’t stop me from getting in…
Wavy L. Superior on a windy day … 7 Mile Point Road

Apparently, weather got warmer as time went by but like you have seen in the above pics (rest of them are here), things were still quite pretty. This is the second time this season it has snowed so much in such a short time – but unlike first time, we only hope this one will stay for a while…
Loved the wavy L.superior..stuck in New Mexico…. seeing water and anything green is such a rarity..Be glad you live in your halli..
@MarwaDi,
When did you hear me complain about living in this halli? I love this place – If there is anything like heaven, this must be it
Liked the cottage picture
