NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Tahquamenon General Store >> Just had the Tahquamenon Falls State Park Supervisor came in to get gas in one of the trucks and they have measured since Wednesday the start of this storm at 40" of snow!!!! Now if that's not overwhelming. Thankful for a great start, but may it's a lot of snow. #newberry GRAND MARAIS UPDATE via Grand Marais Tavern >> We are open again today at 3PM !! All clean and ready for the snow season!! Here is a peak of town conditions as we speak. Thanks Richard Sharp for the footage!! #grandmarais #newberry #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect snow will switch to the north wind snow belts. Snow bands could become heavy at times during this morning's commute. So, exercise caution if traveling. Take it slow on ice and snow! CURTIS AREA UPDATE via Curtis Area Trail Association >> Busy day on the trails today. We had 3 groups of sleds working freeze down, wet areas, clearing fallen trees and then followed by groomer panning the trails. Does it insulate causing melting then a solid freeze? Can you explain the layer of straw? <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook

Trails can be ridden. Water holes are still in process of freezing in.
Our base is time and materials. We have plenty of materials but need time to get a perfect base. Ride smart....ride safe. #grandmarais #newberry
It'll be very windy as well, especially later Wednesday into Thursday. We could have gusts over 40mph over land and 50mph over the lakes and lakeshore areas. This is will cause extremely difficult travel yet again.
We'll have light snow Wednesday morning for the commute with heavy snow in the existing lake effect heavy prone areas. The Wednesday evening commute looks like garbage since we'll have strong winds and heavy snow coming down for ALL areas of Michigan. Then, we'll switch back over to lake effect areas by Thursday am. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskeyLake effect + clipper system + lake effect = a hard forecast!

Beyond that I do see warm-up. However, we'll be on the storm track so we could get some shots of rain turning to snow. It looks active!
I do apologize, I ran out of time for drawing my own snow maps tonight. However, the HRRR has done wonderfully with the lake effect so far. I will gladly endorse what it suggests for potential snow tonight and tomorrow.
I'll be issuing my own map tomorrow for Wednesday night / Thursday's clipper system and lake effect, though!
We ain't done yet, y'all! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord
As lake effect snow persists through the day, snow accumulations near 2-4" are possible, less near the lakeshores, and locally higher 4-8" are possible in western Alger and northern Delta counties.
Lake effect snow finally begins to taper off Tuesday before a clipper system brings widespread light snow late into Wednesday.
