Special Statement 

... Heavy lake effect snow and blowing snow possible New Years Day

into Monday... 

A deepening low pressure system is forecast to Cross Lake Superior on

Saturday night and move across southeast Canada on New Years Day and

Monday. The strong northwest winds left in the wake of this low will

drag much colder air over Lake Superior... resulting in heavy lake

effect snows across the northwest wind snow belts on New Years Day

and Monday. At this time... it appears likely 6 inches or more of snow

will fall in the northwest wind snow belts from Wakefield to

Rockland... Twin Lakes... Calumet and east of Marquette on New Years

Day through Monday. Northwest winds that may gust as high as 50 mph

would also cause extensive blowing snow and reduced visibility. Much

lighter snows and less blowing snow will impact south central Upper

Michigan... but wind chills may fall as low as 10 below zero in that

area. As high pressure slowly builds toward the upper Great Lakes

late Monday into Tuesday... the lake effect snows... strong winds... and

blowing snow will diminish.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite media outlet for

further updates and forecasts on this potential Holiday Lake effect

snow storm.

It seems as if we're going to get some snow. 

It's about time. We've got about 3 inches on the ground. 

We've usually got feet instead of inches. Tourism is seriously taking a beating.
