Snowfall on Nov 18th, 2019

Today's Notes: There wasn't much snowfall yesterday, a very mild day overall across the UP. A little drizzle and a few light flakes here and there in places like Calumet, Herman, Watton, Clarksburg, Ishpeming, and Negaunee. Look for temperatures to stay about normal for November through today and Wednesday. Overall compared to last year at this time areas of the Western, Northern, and Central Upper Peninsula are behind last years snowfall totals. Areas like Newberry, Grand Marais to the south, and Paradise are ahead of last years snowfall totals. Just goes to show you you never know what Novemeber will bring you. The NW snowbelts will still get their snow as usual so if you are worried you shouldn't be winter has really yet to fully arrive. As we continue to see less daylight we will continue to see temperatures slowly drop. Temps will drop back down into the 20s it appears on Thursday and into the weekend. The new weather models are showing that the trough that will be moving through Wednesday into Thursday still may bring snow showers but it is weakening now so we shouldn't see that heavier lake effect and only see some minor accumulations on Thursday. A Colorado Low is building in the west but we should see the warmer side of this system which will decrease the chances we see any significant snowfall out of this system. There will most likely be precipitation across the UP but it looks like it might be more rain and drizzle than snowfall. Through the weekend things may remain dry, we shall see as the systems make their way eastward towards the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Snowfall on Nov 17th, 2019

Today's Notes: Tune in LIVE at 5pm for the Weekly TOP 10 Snowiest Places in the UP.
A few locations with some light snowfall early on in the morning yesterday before noon and also early morning this morning. Temperatures through the day yesterday brought some light drizzle through areas of the Upper Peninsula along with some fog. Many of the more traveled roadways are now for the most part bare roads which just a couple days before were pretty slick. Today expect light drizzle even mixed precipitation for lower elevations, some of the higher elevations might get a few flurries, but nothing that will stick around too long. Tonight across the western and central UP expect a weaking trough to move in from the WNW bringing some light snow, mixed precipitation, and possibly freezing rain. The eastern UP could see some light precipitation of mixed or freezing drizzle. Looking into Wednesday and Thursday according the the current models there is a slight chance of heavy snowfall especially Thursday as temperatures remain cool enough to support snowfall. Possibly bringing 6+ inches of snowfall to the western and central Upper Peninsula. On the backside of this front in the NW snowbelts there could be some lake effect snowfall not far off which could bring persistent lake effect snowfall into the weekend.

Snowfall on Nov 16th, 2019

Today's Notes: Just a little snowfall across the Copper Country early this am just before snowfall measurements. It was a heavy wet snowfall which made the roads slippery very quickly. Later on through the day the warmer temperatures came around and there was drizzle and made for some wet snowcover, great snowman building weather. There won't be to much snowy weather for the next few days it looks like, there could be some flakes and minor accumulations in the higher elevations with any cool air moving through. It looks like Thursday into Friday could be our next significant snow system moving in, things could be snow storm level. Temperatures should start dropping into the low to mid 20s by early morning Wednesday and remain there through the weekend.

Snowfall on Nov 15th, 2019

Today's Notes: Not much snowfall today, a few traces of snowfall in the Copper Country and around Ishpeming area. A little more than a trace feel south of Harvey area. Overall a pretty nice day temps stayed in the 20s for most of the day. Last night the temps did drop down into the single digits. On the Portage Canal there is now ice forming, with a little wind it will break up, but it goes to show you how cold it has been to have ice this time on year on the canal. Many small lakes around the UP already have ice some a few inches thick already.

Snowfall on Nov 14th, 2019

Today's Notes: The first day in the Copper Country with no recorded snowfall for the day. It has snowed every day for the last 2 weeks. Grand Marais area to the south also had no snowfall with 12 of the last 14 days having had recorded snowfall. Things look to be light on snowfall the next few days into next week. It isn't until around Wednesday that things look to pick up again. It is nice to have a little bit of a break especially so early in the snowfall season. The eastern side of the UP is ahead of last year snowfall at this time by around 15-20 inches. The Copper Country is running about 10-15 inches behind last year at this time. The NWS Marquette office only has 9 inches of snowfall so far this season and last year at this time they had recorded 20.2 inches already. In all actuality most locations in the UP are running ahead of normal snowfall averages. It will be interesting to see how many snow stations reach 200 inches this year and also hit 300 inches.
When driving on the roads remember to use caution as they are still very slippery. Slow down, slow down, slow down, and be sure to clean off your windows so you can see out of your car, I assure you it doesn't take that long to do and you will be a lot safer driving when you can see what is ahead or on the side of you. It doesn't matter if you have AWD or 4WD and have the best snow tires on, the slushy, wet, and ice can spin you out easily. Be safe out there.

Snowfall on Nov 13th, 2019

Today's Notes: Not much snowfall anywhere in the Upper Peninsula except the a few parts of the Eastern UP. There was a snow system that came off Lake Michigan and dropped some snow around Newberry, Paradise, and the Soo. Elsewhere in the UP there was little to no accumulation.

Snowfall on Nov 12th, 2019

Today's Notes: Light snow across most of the Upper Peninsula today with areas near Munising to Newberry getting the most snowfall. Still not much snowfall to talk about from Watersmeet all the way across the lower half of the Upper Peninsula all the way over to St. Ignace. Cross Country ski trails are open in the Munising area now so go enjoy some skiing. It is getting closer to Dec 1st the opening of snowmobiling season and a couple day is opening of rifle deer season, where you most men and a few women disappear to hunting camps deep in the UP. There is some significant snowfall that is impacting the eastern UP Schoolcraft county and Luce county so expect some decent snowfall numbers from that area tomorrow. There looks to be a little bit of a warmup after a few days of single digits and teens.

Snowfall on Nov 11th, 2019

Today's Notes: Things are a big snow filled these days in the Upper Peninsula. There has been recorded snowfall in the Copper Country every day in November so far and extending back into October it has snowed 14 of 15 days. Across the Eastern UP at the Grand Marais snow station it has snowed 10 of 11 days so far in November and has snowed 12 of the last 15 days. Besides snowfall we are now seeing the temperatures drop in the Upper Peninsula, especially for the middle of November. At this rate those mid January to mid February temperatures won't seem so bad after we get used to these single digits we saw early this morning. Another set of snowbands made their way across the Upper Peninsula. The highest snowfall amounts coming out of the Ironwood area and Munising area today. There are numbers in the 15-20 inches across areas along M94 Forest Lake and down towards Steuben. Others areas near Munising and Grand Marais snowfall is from 6-12 inches being reported. Light snowfall should keep falling through the next couple days. There is a possibility of the eastern end of Schoolcraft county seeing a bit of snowfall and almost entire Luce county may see a snow system moving up from Lake Michigan on Wednesday, this could bring a few inches to more than a foot of snow. We will most likely see a few snow showers during the week and temperatures look to get into the low 30s by the weekend which will be back closer to normal for this time of the season.

Snowfall on Nov 9th, 2019

Today's Notes: This day last year was our first big snow storm of the year which dropped 10-20 inches across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This years first snow storm was a few days ago. Today was another day of snowfall. So far across the Copper Country there has been recorded snowfall for 10 straight days and it looks to continue. Also across areas south of Grand Marais it has snowed 8 out of the last 10 days, and that area has received the most snowfall so far in the Upper Peninsula. Overall most of the Upper Peninsula has now seen at least a trace of snow, the least snowiest areas of the Upper Peninsula right now are east of I75, Escanaba and to the south, and from Gladstone all the way to St. Ignace. It is safe to say that areas near Munising to Grand Marais inland, the Copper Country and Keweenaw, and areas north of Ishpeming will not see grass until spring. Long term forecast however looks to warm up slightly starting Sunday next week into Weds with upper 30s. There might be a bit of Lake Effect snow to move in across the UP through the NW snowbelts, the NWS is calling for increased snow across areas south of Munising and Grand Marias to the south. Areas of the Copper Country and Keweenaw could see some Lake Effect as well. Snow systems change quickly especially this time of the year. Everyone should now be in winter mode having seen snowfall the last 10 days. Remember tomorrow Monday Nov 11th is Facebook LIVE at 5PM TOP 10 Snowiest Locations in the UP. Be sure to tune in each Monday at 5pm for LIVE at 5.

Snowfall on Nov 8th, 2019

Today's Notes: Just a light snowfall across most of the Upper Peninsula today. Areas along Lake Michigan from Escanaba to St. Ignace remain mostly free of snow on the ground, the further north you go you see more snow. The far eastern side of the UP, east of I75 has seen only a few flakes of snow in the air this season, DeTour just recorded it's first trace of snowafall for this season. We have more snow coming this week starting Sunday night into Monday. Temps on Sunday should be fairly mild compared to what is coming on Monday and Tuesday. The air will feel like January weather. Also add in the big snowfall numbers that are possible on Monday and Tuesday and it will surely start looking like January. Stay tuned for updated info on the weather and if you are traveling head the warnings below.

Snowfall on Nov 7th, 2019

Today's Notes: It has snowed every day so far in November across much of the Copper Country and central UP. Yesterday we saw snowbands that impacted Downtown Marquette to Munising and down to Trenary. The Lake Effect snow system dropped 5-18 inches of snowfall during the day yesterday. It was the first snow storm to reach the Upper Peninsula. Snow totals have been about equal across most areas of the UP as they were at this time last year. Last year we had a big storm on Nov 9th. There will be light snow this week through most of the UP. I know a lot of deer hunters are hoping that it doesn't snow to much more before the start of deer rifle season as it makes it a bit more difficult to get into hunting camps.
When driving on the roads remember to use caution as they are very slippery. Have already seen over a dozen vehicles in the ditch the last couple days from spinning out on the roads, most likely due to driving to fast for conditions. It doesn't matter if you have AWD or 4WD and have the best snow tires on, the slushy, wet, and ice can spin you out easily. Be safe out there.

Snowfall on Nov 6th, 2019

Today's Notes: There has been 8 straight day of snowfall in the Copper Country. The real news however is the storm impacting the Central UP right now, the first snow storm in the Upper Peninsula this season. About this time last year the Western UP, Keweenaw and Munising areas had a storm that dropped 8-18 inches overnight and that was just the beginning to what would be a above average snowfall for most of the Upper Peninsula. Late last night the snow bands started hitting the Munising area and dropped about 4-8 inches of snowfall by the late morning hours today. The snowfall continued to fall today around Marquette, Harvey, south to about Trenary and over to Munising and Wetmore area. So far today there has been around 8-12 inches that has fallen in those areas and it is still snowing, snowfall should start to dwindle around 6am in the morning. There very well could be some 15-20 inch snowfall numbers coming out of the central Upper Peninsula tomorrow. If you have pics or video footage of the snowfall feel free to send a message on facebook.

Snowfall on Nov 5th, 2019

Today's Notes: Very light snowfall across some of the Upper Peninsula. The amount of snowfall we are seeing this year is about what we saw last year at this time. Last year November was a pretty snowy month, above average in most areas. Marquette NWS office saw 37 inches, north of Ishpeming saw 43 inches, Newberry saw 43 inches, Soo 29 inches, Painesdale saw 43 inches, Tamarack loc saw 62 inches, Dollar Bay 37 inches, Keweenaw county 45 inches, Herman 50 inches, Ironwood 49 inches, and Berland 49 inches. So you can see that the month of Novemeber last winter was a good start to winter. So far this November is a good start to winter.

Snowfall on Nov 4th, 2019

Today's Notes: Snowfall was light and steady through yesterday and into the early morning hours today. Things look to remain snowy through the week with high winds for the next couple days. Some snow stations have more snowfall than at this time last year with today's snowfall, others are about equal. It will most likely be another year of heavy snowfall so be prepared for a long winter well into April, if that doesn't happen then I don't think many will mind an early spring for once.

Snowfall on Nov 3rd, 2019

Today's Notes: Today we have a few stations with snowfall, nothing to significant overall. The most snowfall was around the Huron Mountains area and to the south to Negaunee and Ishpeming areas. Areas of the Copper Country and Keweenaw saw a few tenths of an inch or a few traces of snow. Out to the western UP near Ironwood there was a little snow with Ironwood as the only station measuring much of anything. Paradise is very close to Herman which now leads the UP with the most snow in the UP, taking an early lead again like last year at this time.
In the U.P. snowbelts things look white now and it should stay that way through the week and possibly for good until the snow starts melting in March or April. If this winter is anything like the last couple winters we will still be seeing white into the middle of May.
Starting Nov 11th, I will start doing the LIVE at 5PM TOP 10 Snowiest Places in the U.P. through the end of the winter.

Light snowfall looks to continue through the week and possibly into the weekend. Tuesday through Thursday look to be fairly windy with gusts into the mid 20s to low 30s. Stay tuned for more updates and thanks for following the snowfall totals. I am also looking for businesses that are interested in sponsoring/advertising on FunintheUP videos and website.
