Event Description: Due to its continental climate and close proximity to Lake Superior, the Northland experiences a wide variety of severe and hazardous weather during all seasons of the year. November's 'Voices of the Lake Speaker Series' at Great Lakes Aquarium will feature Dan Miller, Science and Operations Manager from the National Weather Service. Dan will explain some of the science behind hazardous weather events, including severe thunderstorms, tornadoes and lightning, and severe winter weather phenomena including heavy snow, freezing rain and bitter cold temperatures. In addition, Dan will also talk about the influence of Lake Superior on the region's weather and the infamous "Gales of November", with a short examination of the Edmund Fitzgerald tragedy within the context of modern science and technology. Finally, information on space weather and the northern lights (or aurora borealis) will be presented along with time for questions and discussion. This is a FREE event and open to the public!
