Today's Notes: October 31st we saw some light snowflakes and graupel in the early evening and into the overnight hours. Winds picked up plenty of moisture off of Lake Superior over the Porkies and Ontonagon area moving southeast across the Trap hills and causing around 1-3 inches of snowfall from Bergland, south of Rockland, to Bruce Crossing area, and even over to Covington. Those same westernly winds picked up moisture off the warm waters of Keweenaw Bay to deposit 4 inches of snowfall in Herman. Roads got a little slippery overnight in those areas being that it was our first accumulation and will continue to be very slushy and slippery for the time being until we can get some consistent cold temps to start freezing those upper layers of earth under the roadways. There were plenty of people in the ditches today and a few accidents in a matter of 3 hours around the Houghton to Calumet area. I saw one guy drove over the median on the Portage Lake Lift Bridge and blocked traffic for about 30 minutes. Another accident two trucks collided on M26 just north of the stoplight at Pizza Hut, it was pretty slushy at the time. I heard of more accidents on US41 from Hancock to Calumet in the early afternoon. Just slow down folks and get some good snow tires on your vehicles asap, your highway tires or your universal tread pattern just doesn't cut it for Upper Peninsula snowfall and by golly missy molly take a drivers ed class for winter driving if you are new to driving on snow. See you tomorrow with another snow update, it is coming down still.

Most snowfall today: Herman with 4 inches
Most snowfall, season to date: Herman with 4 inches
Biggest 24hr total this season: with 32.3 inches on Oct 31st
