Winter Storm in Baraga, Michigan

The CO-OP observer HERM4 2 SE Herman reported 6 inches of snowfall with similar snowfall reports elsewhere in the county. Freezing rain was also estimated in the eastern part of the county. Key impacts: school closures, municipality closures, hazardous travel.

A deep occluded low approaching the UP from the west on the 18th brought a warm front just south of the UP and eventually the occluded front moved over the UP as the low weakened by the 19th. This brought a mess of heavy wet snow and freezing rain as well as high winds. Impacts included a majority of school districts closed, municipal facilities closed, power outages, and near-impassible roads.
