Evidently the snow predictions were right...We have received up to 18" of snow in various locations throughout the park.
Roads are slick and snow covered. The Road Commission attempted plowing South Boundary Road without success. At this point, the road is impassable.
Here are a few photos the rangers took on South Boundary Road just south of Headquarters near Union Spring.
⚠️If traveling through the UP, please use extreme caution. ⚠️ #porkies #westernup #snowphotos
