There’s enough snow on the Gunflint Trail the snow plow had to come out today. Lutsen Ski Hill is opening one week from today.  High temperatures for next week aren’t expected to reach 30 degrees and dip as low as 11 degrees. Ready or not winter is coming to the North Shore.

This weekend is the 2nd Annual Storm Festival and we’ve got a storm kicking off the start of it.

Join us this November 7-9, 2014 for the second annual Lake Superior Storm Festival — a celebration of Superior’s wild side.

There’s nothing quite like a November gale — wind howling, icy waves lashing the rocks, a shiver of awe running down your spine. Treat yourself to a storm-season retreat before the bedlam of the holidays begins. This event honors the power and wild beauty of the Big Lake.
