WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> The end of November and beginning of December have been quite snowy! Thanks to our colleagues at the Grand Rapids office for putting this map and post together. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaThe warm Great Lakes and cold atmosphere teamed up for a week after Thanksgiving to deliver heaps of lake effect snow. New snow measured daily amounted to over 4 feet in parts of Northern Michigan. Some places saw 1 to 2 feet of snow fall in a day. Usually, lake effect snow is rather fluffy, but even so, this amount of snow up north settled into a good 2-foot base of snowpack. In southwest Michigan, mainly southwest of Grand Rapids, snow totals were around 1 to 2 feet, though a fair amount of it would settle and melt into the ground days later. Less than 6 inches of snow was more typical in Mid and Southeast Michigan. ... See MoreSee Less
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Light to moderate wet snow is expected today, with the greatest amounts expected in eastern Upper Michigan.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A band of snow will press into the Keweenaw this morning. This will result in hazardous driving conditions for this morning's commute. Make sure to take it slow and drive with your headlights on! This band will weaken as it continues south, reaching the eastern U.P. late this afternoon/evening. Behind the band, more lake effect snow builds in before more widespread precipitation presses into the region Saturday. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA band of snow will press into the Keweenaw this morning.
