This is the second of three installments with pictures from a major winter storm in Marquette in the first week of March, 2020. My prior post’s pictures were taken the day before the storm arrived. The next day, March 5th, it started snowing in late morning and by mid-afternoon was coming down very hard. Of course this was the day I was having my Mother’s belongings moved out of her apartment at Mill Creek. That’s Murphy’s Law for you.

After completing the move, I drove out to Noquemanon North Trails Trailhead on the Big Bay Road (County Road 550). It was about 5pm and the snow was coming down very hard. I’ve tried to capture it but it is really something you need to see in person. Click on any picture to get a full sized version.

The snow was coming down in big flakes and accumulating quickly.

The trees were getting quickly covered in snow.

This dock extends into the Tourist Park lake on the Dead River and was in a couple of photos in my December, 2018 post about a trip to Marquette.

It was a really beautiful snowstorm.

From there I went out to Presque Isle park to see how the Big Lake was doing. The wind had cleared out the ice flows I had seen the day before and the water had a dark, menacing color to it.

The waves were crashing against the shore.

Granite Island is somewhere out there in the Big Lake.

Middle Island looms across the bay amidst the falling snow.

The prior four photos were taken with my Pixel phone using the Lightroom app to capture raw files. I was worried about getting snow on my Sony RX100-M5.

I was not the only one out and about looking at the storm that afternoon.
