Chinook Salmon are a popular fish caught in Lake Superior. On this January afternoon another type of Chinook, the Chinook winds from Alberta blew across the Great Plains and swept into the area, warming temperatures by nearly 60 degrees F from a few days before.In late-winter, the Chinook battles with arctic air triggering dramatic temperature changes and brings in temporary relief from cold winter temperatures. The fast changing climate also creates fantastic weather along Lake Superior.
Driving along the shoreline in Duluth, it's hard to pass up a stroll on the ice when you see dozens of people enjoying the winter break. The longer daylight hours and the increasing intensity of the afternoon sun triggers a reminder that springtime is not far off and that winter activities will soon become history.
The beautiful afternoon weather also enticed me to do a Spherical Panoramic at Jay Cook State Park.
