Lake storm closes bike path for the second winter

[us56456712]

We got 2.5 inches of rain yesterday along with high winds that caused Lake Superior to wash over the break wall and flood and bury the bike path with sand, rocks and small boulders. It will stay closed until spring when they can bulldoze it clear. The wind blew the Christmas writhes off my house never to be found again. The rain turned to snow last night but it quit after only a half inch. Last winter when this section of the bike path was closed I had to ride on busy icy streets to bypass this section.

To call Superior - or any of the great lakes, lakes is an understatement, they really are inland seas.
You have to have a healthy respect for something that can turn this,

into this.

I vacation on kelleys island, lake Erie every year. The storms can be brutal in summer, wouldn't want to be there in winter.
