U.P. Snow Totals Mar 4th

Snowstorm ends tonight.

The snowstorm arrived as anticipated and it didn’t disappoint. We didn’t see a lot of snowfall overnight but started seeing the snow pick up when the winds started to shift to the north. The NE wind zones picked up a fair amount of snowfall overnight into early afternoon today, places like the city of Marquette, areas west of Munising, Baraga, Jacobsville, Gay, and Bete Grise, even Copper Harbor. Areas in the far southern UP like Escanaba, Manistique, Engadine, and St. Ignace were seeing mostly rain with a few light flurries later on in the afternoon. I think most locations across the UP should have some snow to measure tomorrow the biggest snow totals should be out of the Michigamme highlands and the Keweenaw.

Wind up to 40mph and blowing snow made for some difficult driving at times but not the worst it wasn’t the worst I’ve driven through this winter. Road crews were out early plowing what snow fell overnight and were continually on the roads today trying to keep up. Intersections in towns and along highways snow built up which proved difficult for some drivers I noticed as I was driving around throughout the day. Lots of drifting across roadways and around buildings and vehicles in parking lots.

Wind gusts:

K.I. Sawyer - 45mph

Houghton county airport - 51mph

Calumet 3.5.25 - 8pm
