Cold Weekend on the Gunflint

The last few days, beginning mid last week, has been a cold one. Night time temperatures have been dropping to the minus 20's with and rarely getting above zero during the days. The day time cold weather was combined with a strong wind earlier in the weekend but the wind has moderated and the cold temperature are now tolerable. Starting about Tuesday it appears the latest cold spell should break.
