Thanks for sharing Ryan and enjoy! #keweenaw #snowphotos
Key Notes:
•Snow begins to work into Michigan late tonight, but becomes more widespread during the early morning hours of Sunday. This snow continues through Tuesday morning for the UP, and becomes a snow/freezing rain/sleet mix for northern lower Michigan beginning Sunday afternoon/evening.
•Winds will gust between 40-60mph statewide both on Sunday and Monday.
•This will be a full on blizzard for much of the Upper Peninsula
•Expect scattered power outages across the state
•Travel will be near impossible for the UP and northern lower
Snow totals will be between one and four FEET when all is said and done on Tuesday in the UP. Further south, a mix is expected which will keep accumulations lower, and also will provide a sharp cutoff of accumulations. The difference between a foot of snow and 2” may be the width of one county.
Further south, this system will end as snow for lower Michigan on Monday & Tuesday, which is why we have a wide area within a trace to an inch, and western lower in a 1-3” zone with wording of higher totals possible. We may need to adjust totals here as new data comes clearer for Tuesday.
Stay tuned for the icing portion of this forecast. Northern lower Michigan will see significant icing which is not shown or communicated in this forecast graphic or write up. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyOne of the most absurd snow forecasts we’ve ever made here at MSC, we’ve had to add an impromptu orange color for higher totals.

😳 We received another 12+ inches of snow yesterday for a total of 35 over the last 6 days! A season total of 325 inches- already topping last years entire season total! 👏
⚠️ If you are trying to arrive prior to the storm, hopefully you are on your way, as conditions do not appear to be safe to travel on Sunday and Monday!
Forecasters are saying this storm has the potential to be record breaking! 🥇 No matter how much we actually receive, conditions are going to be epic……. AFTER clubs have the opportunity to get out and groom the trails! Remember, during blizzard like conditions, the operators safety is always considered first!
Brent Mason decided to get back up here yesterday and conditions did not disappoint! Brent shared these photos with us! Thanks as always, Brent for everything you do to help support the clubs and community while in the Keweenaw! #keweenaw #snowphotos
