The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Data Buoy Center is a network of on and offshore weather stations that deliver real-time wind, wave and water data. The Great Lakes region is served by the Western Great Lakes Buoy Network (Lake Michigan & Superior and the Straits of Mackinac) and the Eastern Great Lakes Buoy Network (Lake Huron, Erie & Ontario).

Cory Dalus writes “Lake Superior in a storm is awesome in the true sense of that abused word. Quite a spectacular first snow of the season.”

This photo of Lake Superior at Whitefish Point (home of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum) is part of a great set of photos titled Around Lake Michigan (with a side trip north).
