WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A few snow showers across the fingers of the Mitten early this morning will diminish…but lake effect will linger for the eastern Yoop into this evening, where another couple inches or so of snow could accumulate north of M-28. Highs today will be in the seasonable thirties, making it one of the warmer days out of the next several. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskeyA few snow showers across the fingers of the Mitten early this morning will diminish…but lake effect will linger for the eastern Yoop into this evening, where another couple inches or so of snow could accumulate north of M-28.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A lot of good snowfall totals in the comments of this post. Looks like the Sault Ste. Marie area did the best with around 6 to 8 inches and 7 to 8 inches in the Newberry Area. A couple of inches in the Gaylord area. And then just rain and snow mixes elsewhere in Northern Lower Michigan with negligible accumulations. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey #soo #straitsarea #newberryIf you got snow last night, we'd love for you to tell us how much you got! Please include a rough time of when your measurement was taken, how long the snow was falling, your locations, and if possible, a picture of a ruler in the snow. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating snow is expected to continue into tonight with the highest snowfall rates/ worst travel conditions expected most likely between 6pm and 11pm this evening. Snow will continue into Tuesday with high uncertainty on where the heaviest lake effect snow could set up– Stay tuned for forecast updates and use caution while traveling! #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskeyAccumulating snow is expected to continue into tonight with the highest snowfall rates/ worst travel conditions expected most likely between 6pm and 11pm this evening.

This system appears to be more straightforward than the previous one. Be careful and leave extra time for traveling as we are all trying to get used to driving in the snow again. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey #straitsarea #soo #newberryA clipper system will bring our first decent shot at accumulating snowfall for the eastern UP, where 3 to 6 inches…or even a little more in a few localized spots…could fall by Tuesday morning…with the worst conditions expected between 5 and 10pm.

Here are a couple pictures from one of our groomers that was out yesterday. He said the trail was “perfection”. Not all the trails are like this but many of them are right now. Better get out and enjoy them this weekend as a warm up starts Monday for a couple of days. But for now get out and enjoy- perfection!Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
The first polar front will sweep through the Midwest on Thanksgiving day bringing temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below average. Lows below zero are expected for some across the north and in the single digits down to I80. Highs this weekend will only be in the single digits and teens for areas down to I80. Dangerous wind chills of -20 degrees or colder are increasingly likely, especially north of I90. The graphic below shows the temperatures on Sunday morning.
Another polar front will move through next week bringing even colder temperatures. Expect reinforcing shots of very cold air over the next couple of weeks. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #petoskey #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity~First Polar Front Thanksgiving~
