Expect slippery conditions and reduced visibility through tonight. Remember to use your low beam headlights. Widespread system snow will transition to lake effect snow for the northwest to north wind snow belts. Snow will be heavy at times tonight especially from Ironwood through the Porcupine Mountains.
2 S Baraga. At my 4PM reading, another 2 inches has fallen since noon. This gives me 6.8 inches so far. Light and wet snow falling currently. Temp at 28° with a high of 31°.

10" Indian river off M68
Maybe 2" on sugar island
The dry slot of this low pressure system is creeping into the Western half of the Lower Peninsula and will give some areas a break from the snow but winds will continue to blow and drift the snow. More snow arrives on the backside of this system for Lake Michigan side.
Andrea Proctor
Think,6 ins is enough
The dry slot prevented us from getting much at all here in western Antrim County! But now the back side has kicked in!
Moderate to heavy snow continues out there this morning. The dry slot over Lake Michigan will continue to fill in with snow and all of Northern Michigan will continues with the snow and winds through early to mid afternoon. This evening we start to see lake effect.
How much fun is that!!
Oh boy. Be careful everyone
So far we shoveled 4" of snow from the driveway, waiting on phase 2.
Come on that’s not a lot of snow lol

Let us know what you're seeing today for snowfall totals! Try and include your best estimate for the duration of the snow and at what time the snow as measured, how much snow has fallen, and your approximate location in relation to the nearest city/town. Thank you in advance for your help, it's your reports that help provide ground truth to what is actually happening in your backyard!
Here are some tips when it comes to measuring snow! Always try to measure on a flat, hard surface such as a deck, driveway etc. Take multiple measurements to get a good estimate, and remember to avoid measuring snow within snow drifts! #906wx
Guessing about 3" in Manistique so far. It's going to be hard to get an accurate measurement today.
Only 0.8" here as of 7:30AM, but it is starting to come down a little harder. 2 S Baraga.
Newberry proper, overnight till 0800 this morning. 0.25 to 0.5 inches of blown in from the south light fluffy snow. Snow might be going north as its going sideways at times.
Just started snowing at 7am, big flakes, heavy at first, now snowing steadily, medium fine, will update later. 6 milesN. Of Pine Stump Junction 1 mile S. Of Deer Park. ❄️☃️❄️
As of 7:55 CST I have 6 inches here 2 miles North of Menominee on River drive. Guessing it's been snowing about 12 hours. When I turned the porch light on around 9 there was about an inch
4.5”@ Painesdale@ 8am but it is snowing heavy now. 9: 50 am
We are near Halfway Village, about a mile off of 550. It was snowing lightly last night at 1 am when I went to bed. This measurement was taken at 1145 EST.
7 miles SW of Ishpeming (Ely Township).8:30am 3", snow total at 11:30am 6.5"... Snow total since Oct 78.5"
Here in Humboldt we have 6 -7 inches so far & still coming down. At least its fluffy stuff & no wind.
7” so far at Peavey
12:00 PM Update 2 S Baraga - 4 inches has fallen since my 8AM reading giving me a total so far of 4.8 inches. Still snowing, light to moderate with big fluffy flakes. No wind here, snow is falling straight down. Temp is at 28° and rising.
4.2" in Paulding started about 9:15pm last night, measured at 8:15am this morning,, still snowing
11" at noon in tamarack city
About 8 inches of snow in Manistique
My friend reports 11 inches at 1 PM in Marquette
⚠️ Use caution if out traveling today - widespread snow continues to fill in this morning, expect additional moderate to occasionally heavy snow through at least mid-day. As widespread snow winds down later this afternoon, lake-effect snow moves into the northwest and north wind snow belts as we progress through the evening and overnight hours.
There is some uncertainty across southwest Upper Michigan as to where the most robust lake-effect snow will develop, but locations around the Porcupine Mountains into Ironwood could pick up a foot of snow.
Looks clear in Marquette and East. Right?
Stay safe everyone.
how are the roads / highways from ishpeming to m-28
Thank you for all your updates. Stay safe yourself threw all this !
What is the forcast for tomorrow? Im driving from south of the bridge to the keweenaw. Will the roads be passable?
6 miles WNW of Houghton, 4 inches had fallen up to daybreak (8am or so) and since then another 3.5 inches for 7.5 total. Still falling at about 1.5"/hour
Um you posted this 4 hours ago and according to the bottom picture it's not supposed to start till 7pm. I'm southwest of Ishpeming and I have 3"-4" inches in my driveway and its snowing good.🤷♂️
******Outdated! Please see updated snowfall totals for Saturday afternoon/overnight posted at 2:15pm******As the low pressure moves across the state today, bringing moderate to, at times, heavy snow over northern Michigan. The low will leave the state this evening, and as it does, lake effect snow showers will continue downwind of Lake Michigan.
Meredith, 44.118481, -84.584620, Where I usually measure, on a huge tree stump, but in an area that catches the wind where some was probably blown away, it was 3.43". In a wide open area that was cleared late yesterday, without drifts, and measured in various places, it was right at 5.79" (use millimeters to measure). I have no exact measurement for the very heavy snowfall starting at 9:55 AM for about 20 minutes, at least 1/2", probably closer to 3/4". For that, I used my decorative snow gauge shown here to guesstimate the heavy snowfall stated above. There has been no snow cleared there since the snow started accumulating after the last total thaw, Still snowing light snow at this time.
From Julie: 3 inches (near as I can tell with the drifting) in Central Lake by 9am, and an inch and a half of that fell between 7:30am and 9am. Still snowing, but not as heavily now.
I'ld rather be warned for a foot of snow and only get 4 inches rather than be warned for 4 inches of snow and get a foot of snow. You all don't need to be apologizing to the public for an unpredictable Science.
Remember as a kid that it wasn't uncommon to get 6 to 12 inches of snow almost every day, that was back in the 1970's through early 1980's. Don't really see the snow like we used to see, and I grew up in Gaylord, considered the snowmelt region in northern lower peninsula of Michigan
We live in a very tough region to predict. No worries! I’d much rather have a heads-up to prepare just in case.
2" at 10:00 AM in Au Gres. Even coverage across driveway.
Enjoy the sound of silence❇✴✳
and they are escorting on the bridge
Think I will go back to bed. Wake me up when its over.
17” in Bear Lake.....Kalkaska 👍
Heck ok by me staying in today and snacking all day.
Enjoy 😊
Good morning to all there snow 24 6 ins snow in Wellston..
And it begins hahahhahahahhahaha
It’s Winter! Period
Here is a look at timing on the snow through the weekend. Expect a steady snow through Saturday evening before that switches over to some lake effect snow Saturday night into Sunday morning. TOTAL snow accumulation this weekend on the order of 4-8" Friday night through Sunday afternoon across the region.
Beginning tonight, we expect the first round of snow to move into the Upper Peninsula. This snow will move west to east through the evening and into tomorrow. Widespread 4-8 inches will be possible with higher amounts possible close to Lake Michigan, the Bay of Green Bay and in the Keweenaw. The second round starts tomorrow afternoon/evening, when the snow transitions to lake effect for the northwest wind snow belts. Snow will be heavy at times, especially in Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties. #906wx
love ❤ it in the Keweenaw
love ❤ it in the Keweenaw
Looks like our forecast. Thanks a lot Jowwwee
Time to clean off the measurement platform so we can measure accurately.
Oh thats going to be a fun drive back from downstate to the keweenaw. . .
Bring it on! That theres white gold!
Widespread snow will move in tonight from the southwest as a low pressure system lifts north from the Plains. Additional moisture from Lake Michigan and Lake Superior may provide enhanced totals along the Lake Michigan shoreline and across the Keweenaw. As the low pressure moves east of the area, the lake-effect machine will crank up and provide an additional round of accumulating snow across the NW wind snow belts through Sunday afternoon. #906wx
