Hey, Sam. First of all, thank you for writing an article about the weather. I see few articles detailed about rare meteorological events such as this. I love learning something new. I flew over and saw the Great Lakes on my first flight to Seattle. On my flight back, I flew over the Cascade Mountains. That's not bad for a guy who hasn't traveled much. I remember looking down at one of those Great Lakes and seeing endless royal blue waters. I'm assuming that was Lake Michigan. I write a lot about weather patterns in my walk journals, so this read matches my interests.
