U.P. Snow totals Feb 17/18
Warm temperatures ahead
The first half of February we have seen a decent amount of snow. Snow totals for the month are about equal to all the snow in the month of January for most stations with some a few inches below while others are almost half of last months total as of today.
The Keweenaw has been seeing the most snowfall for the month of February especially from Calumet to Central and Delaware areas.
Below are the 3 locations with the most snow in the month of February (Feb1-Feb18), they just so happen to be the 3 snowiest locations in the Upper Peninsula as well.
Painesdale - 58”
Keweenaw county - 75”

Forecast ahead
Thursday there will be a few lingering snow flurries through the day in the your NW snowbelts bringing 1-2 inches through the day. Sunday we may see a little moisture being pulled into the region as a low progresses from the SE giving us the possibility of widespread snow flurries across the Upper Peninsula, Sunday afternoon into Monday morning.
We are looking at temperatures increasing into the weekend starting Friday during the day, temps should reach the low to mid 20s across the Upper Peninsula. By Sunday and Monday we will see low to mid 30s with some possible low 40s in some places.
Ultimately there really isn’t anything to significant on the horizon for snowfall for the next 7 days at least, only some light flurries right now. It won’t be until the last few days of February when we should see some more cold air moving into the Great Lakes region bringing the possibility of more heavy lake effect snow with it.
