Spring Week: Turbines in Clouds


Wind turbines east of Ubly brush the clouds on Monday morning, March 21. Huron County is surrounded by water on three sides. To the west lies Saginaw Bay, to the north and east is Lake Huron. The topography is fairly flat on the west but the land rises into hilly ridges in the center of the county. Weather patterns moving off the lake or the bay bump into the ridges and drop moisture. Here the clouds are low enough for the blades to disappear as the  turbines turn.
