It’s never too early to think about snow again, right? Here is the long awaited 2024-2025 season snowfall map and data for Upper Michigan. A special thanks to all of our NWS CO-OP and CoCoRaHS observers, this could not be one without your hard work and dedication! Here is a link to learn more about CoCoRaHS https://www.cocorahs.org/Content.aspx?page=aboutus if you are interested in volunteering to make daily measurements next season.
You may have noticed that the 2024-25 season brought more snow to the U.P. than the 2023-24 season did. Although the season started slow outside of the northwest lake effect snow belts, March and April were fairly active months. This resulted in most seeing near normal snowfall amounts by the end of the season. That said, the persistent northwest lake effect snow patterns that dominated the season brought above normal snowfall to the Keweenaw and northeastern U.P. In fact, this was a record breaking season in Munising where 257.1 inches of snow was measured. Lastly, at the office here in Negaunee Township, the first snowflakes of the season were observed on October 15th and the last snowflakes fell May 19th.
