KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Rousseau Bar >> Sunday, December 1, 2024. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> NW lake effect snow will veer to the NNW snowbelts today. Dangerous travel conditions are expected under the strongest snow bands. And, late tonight into Monday, heavy lake effect snow could move into the central UP. However, due to spread in model guidance, confidence remains low in location and duration of dominant lake effect bands across Marquette County. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaNW lake effect snow will veer to the NNW snowbelts today.

Come late Sunday into Monday, heavy lake effect snow could move into the central UP, however, confidence still remains low on where the greatest snow will fall, especially in the Marquette area. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaAfter a brief reprieve in the east-central UP today, NW lake effect snow will pick up again overnight, backing to the NNW snowbelts Sunday.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Here are a handful of snowfall reports from the last 72 hours. Areas of Alger and Gogebic counties have so far received close to or over 2ft of snow as heavy lake effect bands remained nearly stationary. KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> It's less than 12 hours away and the trails will be legal. Looks like an awesome start for this year so come on up. Book your favorite place, get a trail Tag, and enjoy the western UP trails. Who sells the trail tags in Ironwood? Thanks for the update Stretch! Wish riders would give you time to pack/groom so they could set up before riding them.
We appreciate all your hard work. ❄️🌨️❄️🌨️ KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> We are definitely in for a MUCH better season! It’s awesome to see how quickly the white gold is adding up and the crews hard at work clearing the streets! KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Rousseau Bar >> Saturday, November 30th, 2024. 13⁰ and a little wind. 4 more inches. I may have said 2 in the video. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Persistent northwest flow over Lake Superior will continue moderate to heavy lake effect snow across the northwest wind snow belts through the weekend. Please continue to exercise caution if traveling through these areas. Less snowfall is expected across the central UP and nearshore Marquette area where lake effect snow bands are not favored to set up. Sunday, winds are expected to back to the north-northwest, potentially favoring accumulating lake effect snow in the central UP. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaPersistent northwest flow over Lake Superior will continue moderate to heavy lake effect snow across the northwest wind snow belts through the weekend.

As lake effect snow persists through the day, snow accumulations near 2-4" are possible, less near the lakeshores, and locally higher 10-12" 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.
