That has been the topic for a week here in the Keweenaw. It lights up the eyes of all the outdoorsy people, just as the mention of opening presents Christmas morning to young children. I find that people here talk more about the weather than anywhere else. My family always inquires about the weather. But, this is what still gives the Keweenaw its luster.
People are in awe of the water, woods, and winter.
Although, copper is not being mined here anymore people still come throughout the year and every year to visit the Copper Country. The excitement of snow brings about a buzz of activity which helps students cope through the winter. Broomball and Winter Carnival keep the gloomy days from overcoming the spirits of students. The Broomball rink has already been put up across from the dorms. After Christmas break the games begin as your student's hall and other student organizations battle each other on ice with nothing more than a broom.
