Gaylord, MI – A clipper system moving across northern Michigan today is bringing widespread snow, with 1-3 inches expected. Slick conditions are likely on key roadways, including M-32 and I-75, making travel potentially hazardous throughout the day.
According to the National Weather Service in Gaylord, snow will persist until 7 p.m., with gusty winds reducing visibility.
