Warner Falls.  Relatively easy to find if you know where to look.  If you don't you will drive right by it.  It was reaching twilight as I approached these falls and the temps were in the low 30's.  I was in my groove so I didn't notice the temp until I checked my phone after taking the images.  It showed 32.  I was only wearing a sweatshirt.  In order to get a decent angle the falls you must go down a very steep hill.  Remember this is the UP (Upper Michigan), so snow base was two to three feet in depth.  After hiking (sliding) down the hill I was in front of the falls.  It is a smaller falls in terms of relative size, but one of beauty.  If you notice at the bottom of the frame it spills out into the grassland below and makes a series of small rapids in the process.  

As I mentioned in Part I of this entry, The UP gets its share of snow.  I was actually stranded for a day up in Marquette due to a snowstorm.  No images were taken that day.  The next day I headed east toward Munising to capture the waterfalls in and near the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.  On my way I stopped by a falls named Scott Falls that is right across from Lake Superior.  It is small falls, but has some character nonetheless.  
 
Next up Munsing Falls, frozen in place...
