Crazy warmth up here so far this month, especially the night time lows. The departure at MQT is an incredible +9.2... It has however remained below freezing until today when it reached 34. Tonight's low should run 28 degrees above the average low of 2 which will lead to a mixed bag of crap tomorrow. Hopefully will see a few inches of wet snow as the system departs. A lot of Winter still left. Snow depth reading 23 inches this evening.

Def have had more thaws than I'd like or expect but I'm 100% satisfied with this winter season thus far. There's been over 30 inches otg ground twice, I've had a 17 inch storm, a 22 inch storm, and a 30 inch storm with nearly 3 consecutive days of blizzard conditions. And currently there's close to 30 inches otg with 5-6 inches water locked in it and it's only Jan 7th. No misery here. If I still lived in Indiana I'd be a basket case so I get the frustration, however, this subs winter's have been backloaded for a while now, so there's still hope.

While L'Anse itself is a lot like Marquette the city, in a snow hole kinda, you really did pick a nice central location for the deepest snows. I will add tho, there's nothing in the Hurons and roads are very limited and most not maintained unless by a local. Your best bet (imo) is to stay west and ride the spine of the Keweenaw. So much to see and do.

Closest to your location on my list would be Herman and it's about 30 min, unless you take Herman/Nestoria rd which is a back way that connects Herman and L'Anse. The area from Mass City up through South Range is just a jog west of where you're staying and the area of Painesdale specifically, usually boasts some of the deepest snow in the UP most years. I'm sure that region is well over 100 inches as well, just couldn't find a reported total. The only way to my area from where you're staying this time of year (and without a sled), is to go all the way east, back to Ishpeming and head north on Deer Lake road.

After 1.7 inches of snow yesterday, my storm total is 17.1" (MQT 15.6"). This is the 100 inch club in the yoop so far (that I could find). No doubt there's some obscure, remote location that hasn't seen a human in years that's over 150". My stats mirror Herman most years, as the climate of both locations are very similar, but this year they are 15" ahead of my total. Their max depth has been 28 inches, while mine 31 inches. Bergland Damn- 116.2" Herman- 129.7" Laurium- 133.2" Ironwood- 119.7" Munising- 107" Mqt- 102.5" Bo's- 115"

15.4" (1.6 liquid equiv) here at my place. Depth is 31". A couple more inches possible through the evening.

Weren't you in N WI for a minute? How'd you like it?

Snow was quick hitting and heavy last night. Measured 6.7" of 10:1 on the driveway which was scraped clean prior to the snow starting. The temp hovered around 30 all night... felt oddly warm. Pretty much every single model paints another foot plus right through here over the next 36 hours, so no reason to doubt it. Radar returns slowly on the increase but currently it's freezing drizzle.

Flurries just starting. Final call is 15 inches of wet snow by storms end. Got my wood stocked, vehicles put away, all my chores done, and nowhere I need to be until next Monday.

After the the big blizz, it's been incredibly mild and boring in the weather dept up here. Finally going to see some snow that'll come in 2 rounds. First one starting later today through tonight, then Wednesday afternoon through the evening. Should wind up with somewhere around a foot of wet snow to add to the 17 inches of hard-pack otg. Hi-res models want to squeeze out closer to 20 inches before all is said and done... likely overdone, but wouldn't shock me either. I definitely feel for all you snow lovers who are barely on the map this year. I hope Mother Nature will deliver at some point this winter.

Your pines have really grown.

I figured with a large wrapped up storm, of all places the mtns would have seen sOmEtHiNg. Isn't there an Upslope effect there? Pretty disappointing for you guys, for sure. This far north and by the lake, we usually do well. A couple pics from yesterday while down in town. my place Christmas Day

I've had a white Christmas every year since 2012 which is when I moved from N Indiana.

A quiet Christmas morning with only light snow and flurries remaining... perfect for deep frying a turkey later. This storm had it all. Snow, wind, cold, long duration. MQT in Negaunee recorded a three day total of 26.3" as of 7 am. Their liquid equiv was 1.68, so ratios averaged 16:1. Beautiful blizzard snow. I finished with 28-30" as a best guestimate. Merry Christmas from the yoop!

Nice, Josh. Finally going to venture into the Keweenaw!

Blizzard warning extended from 7 pm this evening until 1 am. Wouldn't be surprised to see another 6 inches. I am buried. Uncle.

Road out to here is totally impassable. Have received 25" or there about with some insane drifts on the roof and driveway. Another 6-8" probably before things taper off. Power is out but geni keeping the freezers running and also the furnace just enough to supplement the wood stove. Kitchen will be serving Mac-n-cheese and spam for Christmas Eve dinner.

Been snowing since last night up here. Nothing particularly heavy but snowed moderately from time to time today. Have picked up 6.5" so far with the temp down to 9 degrees after a late morning high of 25. Wind noticeably on the increase. Another 20 inches still possible over the next 48 hours.

Didn't even realize a storm was in the forecast until I went to town today. The store was so crowded, at first I thought it was just holiday shopping but quickly figured out different. Guess 2+ feet is possible by Saturday ish and with 15" of powder otg already, this should be fun.

Mind blowing is right. I've had 60 inches of snow otg before, but not in ONE day! This is beyond crazy. Thanks for all your content.

Down to 14 last night with scattered snow showers hanging around. Have picked up 14" at my house the past few days. Lakes are beginning to freeze as deep winter takes hold here in the north. Deer Lake north of Negaunee this morning.

Better than CAD, I suppose.

Far northern part. As the crow flies, I live about 9 miles south of Big Bay.

Haven’t been out yet, but it looks like 10-11” otg. Last time I looked outside before falling asleep, there was only 5 inches. Evidently it snowed very hard during the night. still snowing mod-to heavy at times with another couple inches today but should taper. Snow Chances in the forecast everyday, through next weekend. Winter is here! Friday night thru this morning:

42 and very foggy this morning, then a chance of rare November thunderstorms later today. After that reality sets in with the possibly a foot of snow up this way over the weekend... it is time.
