Wintry Weather Continues

Ice Jams Possible Next Couple Weeks

1/26/26 - The song remains the same this week, as winter will leave us this pattern to lead us into more snow, thanks to the clipper parade. A few inches of snow or so are possible with each round, starting with a burst of snow tonight that will transition to NW to WNW flow lake effect. Highs in the teens will carry on, with cold signals holding on into early February.

Very cold temperatures the past several days has promoted ice growth on rivers. This could lead to ice jams and potential flooding. Pay attention to river levels by going to weather.gov and clicking on Northern Michigan, then click on Rivers and Lakes, and select your gauge of interest. Report ice jams and subsequent flooding if you see any!
