The Upper Peninsula has seen significant lake-effect snow, especially in areas with a Northwest exposure to Lake Superior. 19 News spoke with the National Weather Service, about why some places received two feet of snow and others, less than an inch. Since Thanksgiving, the City of Munising has seen 24" of snow, while Marquette received less than an inch. According to Meteorologist Matt Zika with the National Weather Service, this past fall has been the warmest on record causing higher water temperatures, so when frigid air passes over that warm water it gets absorbed by the system and falls as snow once it makes landfall. "And with the pattern set up with this cold air over the record warm waters, it just sets up the machine to where it was just dumping snow in areas favored by northwesterly winds," said Zika.
