Gaylord, MI – A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for Western Chippewa County, with snow expected to continue through early Monday morning.
According to the National Weather Service, the area could see an additional 4 to 8 inches of snow accumulation before the advisory expires at 5 a.m. Monday. The heavy snow is part of a lake-effect system that can cause rapidly changing conditions, including reduced visibility and slick roads.
Travelers in the region are urged to slow down and use caution. The snow bands may create significant variations in weather conditions over short distances, with heavy snowfall in some areas and clearer skies in others.
Residents are advised to prepare for difficult travel, especially on untreated roads. Emergency officials recommend keeping an emergency kit in vehicles and avoiding unnecessary travel until conditions improve.
