Just wondering...
I always heard that the snowiest place in the UP was around the tip of the Keweenaw in the higher elevations. Specifically somewhere up in Keweenaw County around about Delaware Mine, etc.
However, looking through the maps I can find it almost always seems like areas around Twin Lakes up to Painesdale and Toivola get significantly more snow than Keweenaw County, etc.
Why is this? Is this because there are less reports originating from Houghton north (Allouez seems to be the only consistently reporting location) or what is it?
It's really annoying that we don't have any reliable reports coming from these snowier locations like we do in the Tug Hill Plateau. I'd love to see what the UP can muster.
Also...it seems like the area from just east of Munising up to Grand Marais, etc, and inland gets a lot more snow than is normally advertised. They almost seem to get as much as the Keweenaw, if not more. Are there any reports from that area?
Sorry for all the tedium...I just really love studying climate and geography. I'm obsessed with it. lol.
