Spring Welcomes Winter Back to the Northland (Saturday, April 13, 2013)

Phenology:
Wednesday, April 10, 2013- Heard our first American robin of the season singing from our house in Duluth.
Thursday, April 11, 2013- Saw our first American robin of the season on a walk near our house. Snowstorm went through the Duluth area starting around 11:30 am on Thursday and snowing until sometime Friday night/Saturday morning. I was even privileged to hear the low rumbling of thunder on three occasions. Never heard that during a snowstorm before! It was very eerie.

There were 7 large ships in the bay this morning as well as an icebreaker. We think the snowstorm probably caused them to seize travel for awhile. That is the most we've seen in the bay at one time. It looked like a battleship board all set-up for play. Lake Superior is truly a huge lake!
