Top 10 Snowiest Places
Winter 2020/21
Snowfall in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
A WINTER WONDERLAND
Each week FunintheUP gives you the TOP 10 Snowiest Locations in the Upper Peninsula. You will want to make sure you tune in LIVE on Facebook each week or check this page each week to see where the snowiest places in the Upper Peninsula are. Usually the first month or two months the locations change pretty frequently until we really get into winter and that Lake Effect snowfall really starts flying. Areas of the Copper Country, Keweenaw, and east of Munising are usually always in your TOP 10 over the long period. You can count on Calumet, Painesdale, Keweenaw county, Grand Marais, Newberry, and Ironwood areas to be very snowy through the winter season.
Below is the list for the Top 10 Snowiest locations in the Upper Peninsula.
Follow the daily snowfall amounts through the 2021/21 winter season.
