“We've missed the beauty of our normal winters,” said Jerry Thoreson, the managing director of Destination Duluth. “So, the contributing photographers for Destination Duluth are posting magnificent photos from previous years with the hashtag #whenwinterwas . Over 150 Duluth photographers contribute to the Destination Duluth Facebook and Instagram pages. They love capturing the beauty of the cold, snowy winter months in Duluth and on the North Shore.

The #whenwinterwas photos on Destination Duluth's Facebook and Instagram pages have nearly a million views. See them on Facebook or Instagram @Destination_Duluth
