The lake makes the weather here, and you can watch it happen: a gray wall building out past Point Iroquois in the afternoon, and by dark the Sault is underneath it. Superior Snow Services plans around that — plowing driveways and lots, clearing walkways and steps, salting and sanding the spots that glaze over first, then coming back when a band parks over town and runs six hours longer than anyone expected. Some winters this county sees well past a hundred inches. Handling it is not heroic, only steady: get out early, keep the surfaces open, and let people go about their day as though the sky were doing nothing unusual.
