The Arthur M. Anderson on a Snowy Day

 As I looked at Marine Traffic this morning, it looked like it was going to be a slow day.  Then I looked in Lake Erie and saw that the Arthur M. Anderson would be passing Detroit as she headed upbound.  I figured that she would be stopping for fuel but I wasn't sure how long that was going to take.

I think she was coming up from Cleveland because it seems like that was her orientation in Lake Erie.
It was likely that she was delivering iron to the Cleveland Bulk terminal there.
I wasn't sure if she was going to stay at the fuel docks for long because I saw a bunch of ships waiting above Port Huron.
Then I saw the Paul Tregurtha heading down, so I decided to head down to catch her but I started too late.
Apparently, I started too late for the Anderson.  I was going to catch her Belle Isle but she started after sometime I started and was about half way past Belle Isle.
So I headed to Windmill Point.  I like the views there but I didn't catch the early ones because there was a snow squall.
It was still snowing as I was there but not too bad.
She was heading up to Duluth.
I'm glad I'm mostly happy with my pictures because getting home was not fun.  I hate the first snow storm.  There was just enough snow to make things interesting.  Fortunately, it was mostly limited to Detroit proper.  Once I got out of Detroit, it was clear and I was able to take I-94 home.
