    That ICE! I live at the top of the Inland Waterway, here in NJ & have most of my life. Very rarely have I seen ice in “the Canal”, it’s exciting when it happens. Snow was originally predicted for us from the NY TV stations but Philadelphia says, here at the “Shore” we will have rain. What an exciting video. I’d like to learn about the Indigenous People of the Duluth area, are there any Monuments or Statues to see? I so enjoy when you do a “Walkabout” and show us the City, Thanks and stay warm.⛄️💨

    • @vibewithmike

      John, great hearing from you, I know what you mean about the winters in Duluth. They can be pretty crazy. This has been the most abnormal Winter I’ve ever experienced. I was just talking to someone about it today. There’s grass on the ground right now and the snow is melting. It is so hard to believe it. it’s literally like living in Ohio or some other southern state that barely gets any cold. Serious, there is grass on the ground right now at the end of January.

    Great winter video. That is the winter I remember after new years. Snow, ice and well below freezing temps are normal for early January of most
    every year.
    We are planning a trip to southeastern New Mexico to see the desert in winter. The southwest desert is wonderful in winter. It may hit freezing or below in winter.
    There may even be snow. But, it melts very fast with days only in the 60s, 50s, and 40s. So many snow birds leave the north to come to the southwest for the winter
    of sun and warmer snow and ice free living.
    The only treacherous areas are the great divide on or near Interstate 10. It can close with heavy snows in the winter. If closed, it will be plowed and cleared very fast.
    It is amazing the huge number to trucks on the I-10 all year around. Ships move cargo on the great lakes. But, diesel trucks move heavy cargo inside and across the
    USA.
    If you have never seen it the Interstate 8 east of San Diego is spectacular through the Cuyamaca mountains. It is only about 80 or so miles east of San Diego and the I-8
    is a wonderful road from Tucson to San Diego.

    I'm with ya on your "heart being in Duluth". There is something special about that city and I love the cold winter too. I'm from WI, but worked in the twin cities for 5 years and tried to visit Duluth at least every other month. Now I lilve in Kansas City, MO (35 and cloudy today), and watching these videos is bittersweet.

    • @vibewithmike
      @vibewithmike  6 місяців тому

      Thank you for the comment. Now you have me thinking about Kansas City. I had a wonderful time there the last time I went. I actually went to a Royals game at Kaufman Stadium. It was fantastic. I also had some fantastic barbecue at Q 39. Regarding Duluth, I really believe it starts with the lift bridge. That’s the crown jewel, and the real differentiator. You don’t have Lake superior, the hillside, all almost buildings that went up in the late 1800s. There’s such an interesting old-school and new school vibe. I absolutely love it.

      Nancy & Dave! An absolute pleasure hearing from you. The thing I tell people is a Duluth has changed, but it also has not changed if that makes sense. The old-school town moves towards a modern era, but they’re still old-school that never leaves. The historic buildings, the waterfront, etc. There’s nothing like the lift bridge, those ships going under, it makes the city so incredible. I’m glad that there are some good memories for both of you. Do you miss the 20 below zero January days? 😂❄️ I’m kidding, I hope you are doing well. All the best to both of you.

      The drive takes about 35 minutes from the area Lethbridge to the superior entry.

      Jim, thanks for watching Brother. All the best to you. There’s still as ice flowing through the Duluth ship Canal right now.

    Great video. I had no idea ships that large move through the lakes.

      Roger, thank you for taking time out of your day to write this comment and watch the video Brother. I hope your Friday is going great. Here’s my favorite video of the season. It was a few weeks ago. Take a look at the see smoke out on Lake superior. ua-cam.com/video/mKzamgCa6zw/v-deo.htmlsi=_DkqaTFMzAtrfkkV

      Ellan! The snow and cold finally arrived in Duluth overnight. There might be a little more Snow this afternoon. I hope you’re having a wonderful Saturday. It’s always a delight hearing from you. I hope to catch a couple more more ships before the end of the shipping season
