I could definitely see someone with health issues or a bad heart having a serious situation arise shoveling this concrete type snow, but I mostly use equipment and only have to really shovel the deck and I’m letting it melt off this time since it’s so early and nice weather’s to come. And I’ve shoveled 4’ off the roof for almost 8 hours straight so I hope I’m okay for a few more years. pic from down in Negaunee today

At 32 I sure hope not.

Looks like a nice, warm weekend and with ground temps still above freezing, I have to think that most if not all the snow will melt. I'm hoping so. Not quite ready for the snow to stick around as I still have some Fall projects to wrap up. Over the Summer I converted my woodshed into a chx coop, so had to build another shed for the wood, and thankfully just finished getting it all split and stacked right before the storm. I wouldn't even be disappointed if winter snow held off another month. Storm total map. Appears the bullseye was up here in my neck of the woods. Snow has compacted quite a bit already. Last night when deeper forcing/moisture moved out, the temp actually warmed to 35 and even rained a bit before falling to 29 for the low. I have about a foot of dense snow otg.

Agree. However, a fluffier 40" storm combined with the wind this system had would have been all around epic.

As of 5 pm MQT has recorded a two day total of 18 inches (2.48" liquid). That's an average SLR of 7.25:1. This is some of the wettest snow I have ever had the pleasure to clear. My blower wont even throw it, it's like a never ending ice turd just plopping out. I'd bet over 20" has fallen here and its still snowing, albeit much lighter. A few more weeks deeper into the season and this would have been a real humdinger.

Hey all. Thought I better check in. Heck of a storm for mid October. 16-18" of heavy wet snow has fallen, with a foot of that just overnight. There was a six hour period of near blizzard conditions from 7pm-1 am. More snow wrapping back in with 3-6" possible. My chickens are in shock.

As a fellow snow lover I always enjoy your winter recap pics. I'll add a few I've not shared before that I took randomly this past winter.

It was a beautiful 58 today. Snow is melting pretty quick. It'll be mostly gone this weekend, finally.

Nice sat shot today of the remaining snow and frozen lakes in the nw part of the UP.

As long as we have a nice summer it’s worth it. Right now sunny and 50 would make me happy.

Yeah, they’re in between the hills of the Keweenaw and the western edge of the Michigamme highlands, it’s super flat and most winds downslope into the area.

A county over in the usual cold spot, Baraga Plains dropped to 9 degrees. They can routinely fall into the low 30's even in July. Oddly, they're also the hot spot a lot of the time during heat waves.

Low of 19 on my weather station with 3" of snow overnight for a total of 5" since Monday night. During the same period, MQT received 5.1". One more cold night in the teens before more average like temps take hold. Becoming sunny today with a high of 35. Just glancing at the GFS, this could be a wrap on the 2021-22 snow season.

There's better times to visit than the first half of May, for sure. I notice you've been up at all times of the year. Which is your favorite to visit? I'd recommend late August. The summer visitors are gone, so are the bugs, and it's before the autumn rush of tourists. The lake is warm, nights are cool... usually dry.

Just took these

About 75% of the ground is still covered with anywhere from 4-12". Any open areas quickly being covered up this evening.

Snow increasing in intensity as the sun heads lower... it stopped accumulating earlier this afternoon and even melted away on the driveway and truck but has since began sticking to all surfaces again. Should see 2-3 inches tonight with winds shifting more nne which is a very favorable wind direction for my area. Down to 22 degrees already. Looks like late Nov/early Dec out.

Good moisture, cold northerly flow, perfect setup here for snow. Have had 2.5 inches overnight and this morning and snow’s still coming down. High today only 28. Colder than most of the subs mid winter average high. If it clears, teens tonight. The Yoop and the Arrowhead all by themselves in another season. In fact, by this map mby may be one of the coldest places in the lower 48 today. I'm so honored MQT: Here at the NWS Marquette office, the temp just after midnight was 27F. As long as the temp today does not exceed 30F (that definitely looks like the case), today will end up with the lowest max temp for so late in the season.

Hopefully you can retire in INL. Seems like the perfect place for you.

Springtime has failed to arrive this year. The robins are returning with nothing to eat. Thankfully some warmer days starting tomorrow. Pics from this morning.

Like many of you it's snowing again this morning. Probably will reach 2 inches before it changes over to light rain, then back to snow this evening where a light northerly upslope component could add another 2 or so inches (or several if the ARW and NSSL are to be believed). I've received 14 inches nickel-n-diming it this month which is really close to the average for April up this way. Yesterday was gorgeous with light wind, sunny skies and a high temp of 37. Was outside all day. A few more days of the coolness then hopefully more seasonable temps will arrive and stay.

18-20" here in the woods around my house. That's even after a cold 2.65" of rain this past week. Saw a fisher yesterday around the barn snooping for my chicks, so I followed his tracks through the woods, and with all the rain lately I'd sink through in spots and it was up to my knees still. Yesterday morning was 22 with a high of 27, a low this morning of 19 but should climb to around 35 today before more snow moves in late tonight with a few inches possible.

I'm guessing most traces of snow will be gone by May 10th.

Vigorous Springtime snow showers all day. Near 1/4 mile visibility one minute then sunshine the next then back to snow. Still SO MUCH snow otg!

I'll take the extra few weeks of our subs cool, cloudy weather over 4 months of 100+ D-4 conditions, anytime.
