"Cold" in July can mean temperatures around 55 or 60. How about the mid 40s? The unheralded weather event of the last two days has been the raw conditions in Marquette, Michigan.

Over the last 2 days, with a prevailing northerly wind off 42-degree Lake Superior, temperatures have hovered between 45 and 50 under a dense layer of fog with drizzle. High temperatures this time of year should be in the 70s. It must have been fun to celebrate the 4th of July and dig out the wool sweater the next morning. Indeed, with the exception of parts of extreme northern Alaska, Marquette has been the nation's ice box over the last
48 hours.
