Wind has just gone crazy! And the power just went out. If I sit in the exact right spot, I can get an LTE signal. We live in a rural location with a hill that blocks the distant cell tower.

We actually got a call through to the power company (usually we have to drive but the blizzard seems to have made the cell signal stronger) and are now on the "list" of outages.

That wind is battering us right across from you on the Keweenaw too. Massive Lake Superior waves are building up the shore ice and throwing chunks of ice far and wide.
Stay safe!

@fatamorgana are you getting the 20-footers that they predicted?

@bryanhansel
I think so, though it’s hard to gage the actual height. And of course all the buoys have long been pulled for the winter (so they don’t end up on the beach!).

The biggest waves are forecast for further east.
