UPPER MIDWEST IN LINE FOR MORE SNOW FOR THIS STORM

Saturday’s flurry offers just a taste of the winter snow expected to blanket the upper Midwest with this storm. Areas of upper Michigan and far northern Wisconsin where snowfall will increase and continue into Saturday will see a foot to 2 feet of snow in favorable areas downwind of Lake Superior. That’s on top of a generous snowpack of 40 inches in Bayfield, Wis., and 34 inches in the Marquette and Munising areas of the Upper Peninsula.
