Blizzard-like whiteouts partial cause 6th snowmobile fatality of season in Upper Peninsula – plus a snowmobile crash tonight in Alger County: With nightfall, more wrecks and a special weather warning from Chippewa County Sheriff Michael D. Bitnar and the National Weather Service

Road and Trail conditions dangerous: Dozens of crashes and off the trail in U.P. – 6th snowmobile fatality of winter in U.P. – and special weather advisories

(Sault Ste. Marie, MI) – “Visibility is very, very poor at this time,” radioed an official in Alger County at 8 p.m. ET.

That sums up conditions in many areas of the U.P. tonight that has claimed at least one life and caused closures like – M-28 between Harvey and Munising, and the Mackinac Bridge. Winds whipped an early morning house fire and caused a “rekindle” on Maple Street in the Soo earlier today.

Sadly, the Upper Peninsula snowmobile death toll continues to climb with the latest caused in part because of the deadly weather conditions that exist in some areas of the U.P.

With nightfall, the wind-chills are in the double digits below zero.

The latest snowmobile fatality occurred today in Chippewa County – and today dozens of U.P. crashes due to weather include a pickup truck that rear-ended a semi tractor trailer truck in Raco, MI. (Read press release – and they will be sending a photo).

Meanwhile as we write this story (7:25 p.m.) word of a snowmobile accident with injuries – this time in Alger County (scroll down to see what we know, plus we will add updates later if needed to the top of page).

Chippewa County Sheriff Michael D. Bitnar has issued a special warning about the weather – and so has the national weather service.

The latest victim is 49-year-old Kristen Dale Brown of Portland, MI who died today on Snowmobile Trail Number 8 near the Brimley Grade Road. The victim was traveling faster than trail conditions allowed – and was thrown from his machine into the middle of the trail.

Due to white-out conditions, a second snowmobiler did not see the Brown and “ran into the victim” who was lying on the trail, Sheriff Bitnar says.
The conditions at the time were “blowing snow and snow dust.”

It’s not clear if the two snowmobilers were traveling together in a group.
The “second snowmobiler was unable to see the fallen snowmobiler lying in the trail,” Sheriff Bitnar said.
Assisting the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Department at the snowmobile fatality were the Bay Mills Police Department, Bay Mills Conservation Department, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Bay Mills and Superior Fire and EMS.

Now Alger County – Cell phone calls from the scene were dropping off while calling 911 – and different locations were given.

The confusion because one dropped call mentioned the bringing a victim out to the casino in Christmas, MI.
Meanwhile there is a snowmobile accident on the trail near the Seney Township and Burt Township line.

The Burt Township Volunteer Fire Department, Alger EMS, and law enforcement responding.

Reports said victim is on the “Adams trail” suffering a possible broken leg or hip. He cannot be moved by other snowmobilers.
Staging location is Twin Lakes Road, but just changed because a  rescue vehicle track-vehicle break down on scene.

URGENT URGENT URGENT URGENT – 1-23-18 – 12:45 a.m. – Two U.P. police agencies have some of their computers fried – Marquette Police Dept. headquarters and entire Dickinson County E-911 Center – that dispatches for Iron Mountain Police and many agencies – Both communication centers fill with smoke almost simultaneously – during snowstorm; This weekend hospital electrical system fire reported

U.P. Breaking News Bulletin: 1-23-18 12:45 a.m. ET

Firefighters called to smoke-filled Marquette Police Headquarters and the entire Enhanced 911 Dispatch Center in Iron Mountain – that dispatches for all agencies – as electrical systems fry

Marquette Police HQ – and the 911 center in Iron Mountain serving all Dickinson County – both fill with smoke during snowstorm

(Upper Peninsula of Michigan) – You don’t often hear the police call for firefighters at the cop HQ or 911 – but it happened twice almost simultaneously this morning in the U.P. of Michigan.

Marquette firefighters are on the scene of an apparent electrical fire at the Marquette Police Headquarters.

Meanwhile – same thing was just reported at the Enhanced 911 Dickinson County Dispatch Center – located in the county building in Iron Mountain, MI.

A dispatcher in Iron Mountain said their entire system went down. Dickinson County 911 was filled with smoke – plus electronics are fried from computers to LEIN.

Marquette PD reported its problem about two minutes before Iron Mountain PD but could have been simultaneously.

Are they related due to timing and/or weather. If they are not related to either – then its a coincidence involving lotto type odds.

“The fire department is headed your way,” said a 911 dispatcher to a police official at the Marquette Police Headquarters.

The problem is “smoke coming out of their main frame computer room,” a dispatcher told firefighters in Marquette.

Not clear if its weather-related. No injuries reported.

Only two days ago firefighters rushed to a U.P. hospital hecause of an active electrical fire.

Iron Mountain firefighters were called Saturday night to the Dickinson County Memorial Hospital.
An “active electrical fire” was found in the rear of the hospital. No Injuries reported.

Meanwhile – the raging snowstorm has made driving inadvisable through at least tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon. The storm has already caused several rollovers/accidents. Plus power outages reported in some areas.

UPDATE Second Alger County Snowmobile accident late Saturday night – First Crash: Valley Med Flight launched tonight to help rescue a snowmobile crash victim near Wetmore, MI – in remote area close to the Alger County/Schoolcraft County line

U.P. Breaking News Bulletin – 1-14-18 – 1 a.m. ET

Late Saturday night, the victim of a second serious snowmobile accident of the night in Alger County was brought by ambulance to U.P. Health System – Marquette.

This accident in Alger County happened in the Hovey Lakes area – near the Buckhorn Resort/Inn. The man – in his 40s from Wisconsin – suffered numerous broken bones including a compound fracture. While in serious condition, his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

(Schoolcraft County/Alger County Line) – A landing zone is being set up for a medical helicopter to land to transport a snowmobile accident victim from a remote area south of Wetmore, Michigan.

The landing zone is being set up near the Camel Riders Restaurant and Resort located just off State Highway 440 near the Alger County/Schoolcraft County line. This is located to the west of Hiawatha National Forest Service Forest Service Road H-13. The accident was reported about 5:30 p.m. tonight, Sat., Jan 13, 2018.

Numerous emergency officials are rushing to the scene – to help a male snowmobile crash victim – who was reportedly brought by other snowmobilers to the restaurant from where the crash happened on a trail.

Among those responding are the Alger County Sheriff’s Department, Alger County EMS, Michigan State Police, Tri-County Volunteer Fire Department, and others.

Valley Med Flight was launched about 5:45 p.m. from Marquette to transport the victim to U.P. Health System-Marquette. The medical helicopter was circling the area about 6:15 p.m. – and about to land. The accident victim is suffering from a serious head injury but is conscious.

(Upper Peninsula of Michigan) -There is no way to over stress the importance of not driving or even walking outside in much of the U.P. until Friday night.

Expect power outages, bad accidents, treacherous driving during the deadly mix of rain, ice and snow that will pummel much of the Upper Peninsula. Protect yourself and the elderly by putting down sand and salt – in large quantities.

Plus terrible conditions on Lake Superior as the  2017-2018 Lake Superior Shipping Season ends when the Soo locks close on Monday (Jan. 15, 2018).

These are the type of conditions that have caused tragic deaths in the U.P. in recent decades.

 said a Sault Ste. Marie, MI firefighter this afternoon  after responding to a powerline down and fire behind some local apartments.

The National Weather Service in Negaunee Township, MI has issued several special weather statements this afternoon, Jan. 11, 2018.

Please prepare and take heed – help others. Its gonna be nasty.

A massive rescue is underway in U.S.-2/41 in Escanaba Township – as car is upside down – and no one has emerged. People are trying to break the windows. Three people are inside and can still breath.

One of about 10 rollovers this morning so far.

Six months of winter: U.P. Prepares for SNOW and Strong Cold Winds!

By Greg Peterson
906-273-2433

(Upper Peninsula of Michigan) – After surviving the recent big blow that apparently left at least two people dead, Yoopers must brace for high winds, a large amount of snow starting tomorrow Within the past hour, the National Weather Service issued special weather statements warning of heavy snow in the Marquette County area and bad weather elsewhere across the U.P.

Six months of winter is firming its grip. Numerous rollovers, wrecks and car-deer accidents are expected. Please drive slow in bad weather and be alert.

**Put warm extra clothing including winter coats etc, plus general safety bags witgh food etc. and medical kits in your vehicles

***Also check your tires – and make the necessary improvements for traction including sand, bird seed and those flat, small metal slats you put under the tire to help get out of a ditch. I lost mine. Like a tiny tough fence.

***Remember its likely schools will be cancelled on Thursday – maybe even let students out early Wednesday.
