Upper Peninsula Summer’s Almost Here Snowstorm

By Greg Peterson
U.P. Breaking News
Owner, News Director
906-273-2433

(Upper Peninsula of Michigan) – Damages reports from the north, south, east and west ends of the Upper Peninsula, a wind-whipped snowstorm has causes significant power outages, sign ripped from ground, cable, wrecks and other issues in each corner of the U.P.

Very strong winds and a snowstorm are howling across the Upper Peninsula, causing ice issues on St. Mary’s River stopping some ferry service to eastern U.P. islands, ripped out a stop sign on the opposite side of the U.P. – and causes some power outages and trees down on power lines in Houghton plus deep snow is expected in some areas like Menominee where heavy snow turns to serious freezing rain on Sunday.

The 2018-2019 Lake Superior Shipping Season is underway and ships are hugging the north shore of Lake Superior (see graphic below).

*******Plus there is a heavy snow – show shovel heart attack danger warning – posted by the NWS in Negaunee Township (Scroll down to see photos and graphics).

The Neebis Island Ferry told Chippewa County 911 that they were down for a long time due to ice; not sure about other ferries.

Meanwhile on the opposite end of the U.P., Ironwood officials were called to a stop sign that was ripped out of the ground by the wind at the four-way stop intersection of McLeod Avenue and S. Lowell Street.

Numerous power and cable outages have been affecting Houghton County, as UPPCO told Houghton County 911 dispatchers that numerous reports of power problems have them busy across the Copper Country.

Before sunrise, Houghton Police were sent to the Delta Zeta Sorority at 1009 College Avenue in Houghton, MI.
The sorority has a unique warning system that blares if somehow the power is cut – as a loud alarm could be heard in the background when the police officer on scene radioed dispatchers at Houghton County 911.
The officer reported that homes on either side of the sorority house were also without power. Power lines have also been reported down in Sault Ste. Marie, MI.

• In Menominee area, heavy snow late Saturday night and through Sunday with total snow accumulations from 10 to 14 inches. Afternoon/evening Sunday snow mixed with freezing rain leading to ice accumulations of up to one tenth of an inch

• Total snow accumulations of 9 to 13 inches are expected, except 7 to 10 inches from Manistique to Newberry

• In Dickinson and Iron counties Total snow accumulations of 10 to 14 inches are expected

• In Marquette County, heavy snow expected with the heaviest snowfall occurring during the day Sunday. Total snow accumulations of 12 to 16 inches – greatest in the higher terrain from just south and west of Marquette into the Huron Mountains

• In Keweenaw, Ontonagon, Northern Houghton, Gogebic and Southern Houghton counties – heavy snow and blowing snow with total snow accumulations of 9 to 13 inches are expected

Marquette National Weather Service updates warning this morning – Black Ice in some areas; 10 inches of snow with major blowing and drifting, dangerous driving; Western Lake Superior gusts nearly 50 mph, waves 15-feet

…ANOTHER SYSTEM MAY BRING MORE SNOW LATER THIS WEEKEND…

After the first system producing the potential heavy snow over
south central Upper Michigan Friday into Saturday morning exits
later Saturday, expect another round of moderate to heavy snow to
return to the area Saturday night through Sunday night as a strong
low pressure system lifts across the Great Lakes. Expect snow
amounts Saturday night through Sunday night to range from 5 to 10
inches, heaviest across the east half of Upper Michigan. Locally
higher amounts may occur. The most snow will fall late Saturday
night through Sunday evening. There is still uncertainty on the

snow, there could be areas of blowing and drifting snow,
especially later in the weekend.

Please continue to monitor later statements and forecasts for the

…ACTIVE WINTER WEATHER INTO THE WEEKEND…

A narrow swath of heavy wet snow is expected to develop over
portions of southern Upper Michigan Friday into Friday night out
ahead of a strong deepening low over the central Plains. It still
looks like the heavier snow will stay south of north central Upper

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.

Latest just issued by NWS Office Negaunee Township: A White Christmas – Good Grief – plus lake-effect snow will continue to hammer those in the snowbelt areas – If you can’t remember to drive with care – think of this – turning “Ho Ho Ho” into “Slow Slow Slow”

Already this morning there have been numerous vehicle sliding off U.P. roads including SUVs .

Please drive slow – slow – slow – as you visit friends/relatives homes today.

A Jeep went flying off CR 553 near Marquette Mountain.

Then there was the Dodge Durango that flew 200 feet of a road in Chippewa County – not pleasing to wrecker drivers or cops.

430 PM EST Mon Dec 11 2017 /330 PM CST Mon Dec 11 2017/

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of western Upper
Michigan and central Upper Michigan.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Tonight, moderate to heavy lake effect snow will develop from
west to east across the north wind snow belts. Strong and gusty
north winds to around 35 mph will create blowing and drifting
snow, which will restrict visibilities and create hazardous travel
conditions across the north wind snowbelts. Travel conditions
will deteriorate rapidly across eastern Marquette county and much
of Alger county during the overnight hours, with white-out
conditions possible at times along with significant snowfall. See
the latest Winter Weather Message for further details.

The strong and gusty northerly winds off of Lake Superior will
allow large waves to build along the Alger County shoreline. This
will lead to minor beach erosion and lakeshore flooding. See the
latest Lakeshore Hazard Message for further details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Significant impacts to travel are expected to linger across
eastern Marquette county and much of Alger county, where
occasional white-out conditions and significant snowfall will last
through the day on Tuesday. Across the west and east, hazardous
travel will still be possible with light snow accumulations on
Tuesday. See the latest Winter Weather Message for further
details.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters are encouraged to submit reports of snowfall and
low visibilities to the National Weather Service in Marquette.

430 PM EST Mon Dec 11 2017 /330 PM CST Mon Dec 11 2017/

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of western Upper
Michigan and central Upper Michigan.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Tonight, moderate to heavy lake effect snow will develop from
west to east across the north wind snow belts. Strong and gusty
north winds to around 35 mph will create blowing and drifting
snow, which will restrict visibilities and create hazardous travel
conditions across the north wind snowbelts. Travel conditions
will deteriorate rapidly across eastern Marquette county and much
of Alger county during the overnight hours, with white-out
conditions possible at times along with significant snowfall. See
the latest Winter Weather Message for further details.

The strong and gusty northerly winds off of Lake Superior will
allow large waves to build along the Alger County shoreline. This
will lead to minor beach erosion and lakeshore flooding. See the
latest Lakeshore Hazard Message for further details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Significant impacts to travel are expected to linger across
eastern Marquette county and much of Alger county, where
occasional white-out conditions and significant snowfall will last
through the day on Tuesday. Across the west and east, hazardous
travel will still be possible with light snow accumulations on
Tuesday. See the latest Winter Weather Message for further
details.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Weather spotters are encouraged to submit reports of snowfall and
low visibilities to the National Weather Service in Marquette.
The public may also submit reports through our webpage, Facebook
page or on Twitter.

Foggy, Soggy 2017 Firearms Deer Opener in U.P.: 2nd day of deer camp sunny but gale force winds on north shore – with 17 foot waves, 40 mile per gusts in Alger County – Above freezing hunt until late Saturday when an all-day rain turns into snow

U.P. Breaking Opening Morning Deer Hunting Bulletin

11-15-17 4:44 a.m. ET 3:44 a.m. CT

By Greg Peterson

(Upper Peninsula of Michigan) – Opening Day of the 2017 Firearms Deer Season across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is soggy and foggy – and Alger County hunters can expect gale force winds on Thursday.

Today, you won’t see deer until they are knocking on your blind – as fog should help hunters not be seen.

Don’t expect any snow til Saturday night as an all-day rain turns to flakes.

For the first three days of deer season hunters won’t hear that “crunch, crunch, crunch” as deer approach on those frozen morning. Expect opening day to be foggy and above freezing, but wet.

But by Saturday night and Sunday it will drop back into the 20s.

Scroll down to read the Alger County wind and waves on Thursday – while in other areas dry, sunny and in upper 30s. Alger County deer hunters should pay special attention to “widow makers” – because recent storms and Thursday’s gale could bring tree limbs from above.

While Lake Superior hurdles 17 foot waves pushed by 40 MPH winds in Alger and Luce counties on Thursday – the rest of the U.P.  appears to be partly sunny and seasonable on Thursday – in low 30’s.

The wettest – or snowiest day – is Saturday as it gets colder.

Lakeshore Flood Advisory in effect from November 16, 01:00 AM EST until November 16, 10:00 AM EST
