Lake effect and blowing snow are reducing visibilities in spots and making travel difficult.... #miweatherLake effect and blowing snow are reducing visibilities in spots and making travel difficult. Temps are chilly as well but it feels colder when factoring in the wind chills. Bundle up and be careful when driving!
Blowing snow.... #miweatherGusty winds persist across northern MI at midday. Falling snow has diminished, but blowing/drifting snow will continue to produce limited visibilities and slick spots on roads into this evening. #MIwx

The Latest Weather Postings from NWS Gaylord and Marquette on Facebook
We have 28" of snow on the ground here at the office (9 miles SSW Gaylord) this morning. The record is 29" set in 2014. We have data here at the office since 1998.
So this graphic is floating around, I even shared it. BUT is it accurate?
Lianne Ballard
Even after the storm last April? We didn’t pass the record on that Monday?
Justin Van Dyke
you should have seen the70'
Randy Little Danny O'Neil
We have more than that here near Lakes of the North
Can it quit snowing? Lol
Denise Kolar
What is our total amount for the season so far?
Over the past two weeks, 37.2" of snow has fallen here at the office (9 miles SSW Gaylord). That is nearly one-quarter of our yearly normal of 149".
Julie, James.. This is what you’re coming home to!😉❄️
How much year total have we had this year
When was the last time we reached that 149” in Gaylord?
Wow. I bet the kids love it. Our winter has had some really cold days but no real ⛄️. I wouldn’t know what to do with all that.
Heading North Monday morning

What is the yearly total?
It’s been raining like crazy in California. Just storm after storm with minimal sunshine.
Just took at least that amount off the roof of my covered front porch and I have the sore back to prove it :)….southwest Otsego county
Sergio Rios
I wish we had totals from my house. I live west of Vanderbilt and always get way more snow than Gaylord.
Is it okay to post dank weather memes? 🤔
Northern Michigan will catch a break from accumulating snowfall this weekend, with the sun even making an appearance in many areas today. Perhaps a few light snow showers developing Sunday afternoon over a portion of northern Lower.
Snowing in Mancelona and no sign of the sun either
It's still snowing just East of Gaylord. Why am I still seeing flakes coming down. You and Meteorologist Joe Charlevoix said NO snow here today 😔.... Please make it stop. Thank you...lol
Sun??? Said sunny for today but like always it's snowing in Presque Isle co
Thank goodness!
Sun?!! Woot!
Light lake effect snow will gradually diminish today into tonight as winds also continue to decrease. Otherwise, expect calm weather through the weekend.
I really hope it stops so we can catch up before another storm hits and I hope 28 opens so we can get our new snowblower for the tractor and open our road more,it is just short of a path!!!
is M28 still closed?
How’s the forecast for Tuesday morning if you know yet?
This frightening footage of a big pileup in Missouri today could easily be I-75 on a snowy, windy whiteout condition day like today. People driving too fast in these conditions is usually the reason for big pileups like this.
These people were wise to stay in their vehicles. If ever caught in a nightmarish situation like this, unless your vehicle is in danger of catching fire, you're safer from other careening vehicles by staying inside and remaining buckled up.

This was along I-70 east of Kansas City today. Heavy snow reduced visibility making it impossible for drivers to see the pile up until they were in it. Video from Jameon Weaver
Common sense isn't so common anymore!!!
If the truckers used a cb radio anymore they could have warned other drivers. If you slow the trucks down the cars don't have any other choice but to slow down
On January 29th I drove from Sturgis (on the Indiana line) to Traverse City. From Schoolcraft to Grand Rapids I passed 4 multi-vehicle pile-ups and thankfully was able to be allowed around them. I was driving 25-40 mph and people were FLYING past me. It never occurred to them they may need to apply their brakes at some point. I left Sturgis at 9:30 and got home at 5:30. I slept well that night let me tell ya.
driving way too fast for conditions...all of them!
Conditions like this lights on and SLOW down
Everyone was driving way too fast. Snowing? Slow down. I mean, this is real simple common sense stuff right here.
Hate to say it but Michiganders do it better.
Holy crap! For the love of God stay in the truck!
SLOW. DOWN!!!
My sister lives in KC and people down there have no idea how to drive in the snow. Way too fast!
Not good !!!
In poor visibility you should be a minimum of 5 seconds behind vehicle in front of you....minimum
And they all need glasses .. can’t see all them cars and trucks ... and slow down ..
Slow down people
Like far too many times; why drive that fast; why???
People are idiots
OMGOMGOMG.
Not a SINGLE driver was driving for the weather conditions. SLOW DOWN!!!
Michigan all over again
Prayers for all involved 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Narratedx by Bill Engval...."here's your sign"...
It appears they were driving to fast for conditions even without running into a whiteout
Faster faster ...
You shouldn't be driving so fast that you can't stop in time for the visibility on the road. I drove back from Grand Rapids 2 years ago in a blizzard and people were still doing 70+ passing me. I passed them later when they were in the ditch.
... but the speed limit.... *sarcasm*
Snowfall is expected to continue tonight for the Northwest wind snow belts. An additional 2-4 inches of snow is possible in Luce, Alger and northern Schoolcraft Counties. The wind gusts will still be strongest along the lakeshore, but will diminish Saturday morning.
Let’s hope so! I’m so exhausted!
Here is a pictures of Rockland snow Thur the night
Brian Paajanen
Which snow belt affects the Keweenaw ?
Any news on m28?
Gusty winds persist across northern MI at midday. Falling snow has diminished, but blowing/drifting snow will continue to produce limited visibilities and slick spots on roads into this evening. #MIwx
Is this whirling dervish snowcloud ever going to stop dumping snow and move on??? Snowing hard in downtown Gaylord.
45.049960, -84.791850. 5:00 p.m. photo. Five inches. About 20" this week and it's still snowing.
Exactly why didn't we have a weather warning instead we have an advisory?? Conditions were horrible today with gusting winds and low visibilities?? We definitely had more than two inches of snow accumulations today too!!
Any sign of warmer weather or just no more storms ? 🤦♂️
Pleasant winter weather conditions are expected across much of northern Michigan this weekend. Daytime highs will mainly be in the 20s, with lows in the single digits. #MIwx
It's a sad day when we have to use the word 'pleasant' to describe 20° highs and single digit lows...UGH!
Unless it will melt the 4ft of snow that has fallen in my yard these past 2 wks, it's not pleasant!
Hopefully no more snow storm for a long time
Ashley Bur☀️
NICE !!!
Freezing our butts off here in Lake Ann.
