An unusually cold morning for the middle of March, it was ten degrees below zero this morning when we set out to watch the sun rise at the Spirit Tree. Jessica and I are getting married in 3 days so we wanted to visit the tree again before our ceremony, since this is the spot where we got engaged last summer. It was a beautiful (but cold!) morning. Not a cloud in the sky and no sign of the 25 MPH winds that we were supposed to have overnight. A thin layer of ice covered the bay beyond the tree, and that thin layer of ice was slowly drifting out towards the open lake. Had we been here a couple of hours before sunrise we would have been treated to an incredible view of northern lights, as a geomagnetic storm hit our atmosphere around 4:00 in the morning. Oh well, we may have missed the lights but we sure witnessed a nice sunrise! Maybe we'll get lucky and the geomagnetic storm will last until tonight and maybe our sky will stay clear so we can actually see the lights :-)
