Lake-effect snow continues to affect the area, and until 7 a.m. EST Thursday, a winter weather advisory is in effect for Marquette and Alger counties.
The National Weather Service predicts another 3 inches of snow, which will make the roads dangerous. The Wednesday night and Thursday morning commutes may be impacted by slick roadways, especially in Munising, Gwinn, Marquette, and Grand Marais.
Snow buildup may make it harder to see, therefore drivers are advised to slow down and drive carefully. Local officials advise keeping abreast of traffic conditions and factoring in additional travel time.
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan frequently experiences lake-effect snowfall in the winter, which frequently results in abrupt accumulation and treacherous conditions. Residents should monitor the National Weather Service for updates and be ready for quickly changing weather conditions.
Conditions are predicted to improve later in the day, but the advisory will stay in force until Thursday at 7 a.m.
