Tuesday, April 09, 2013  Rounds of rain and starting Wednesday through Friday, freezing rain, sleet, and snow will all pass through at times this week as the weather remains very wet.

Monday, April 08, 2013  The next and stronger system to pass through Wednesday could lead to major issues with the possibility of rain, freezing rain/sleet and/or even accumulating snow Wednesday if it remains cold enough.

Friday, April 05, 2013  Across the Eastern U.P., it will be colder and as a result, the snow will be reluctant to switch to rain leading to the potential for a quick 4-7" of snow Saturday with the highest totals near Sault Ste. Marie.
