1
00:00:00,799 --> 00:00:03,679
Good morning. Northern Michigan, or should I say
2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:05,059
Northern Arctic Circle?
3
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:06,899
Welcome to
4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,179
winter again.
5
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,820
Although the temperatures aren't so bad,
6
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,199
we got a lot of snow overnight. I
7
00:00:13,199 --> 00:00:16,265
think, probably six inches here at the,
8
00:00:16,904 --> 00:00:18,445
McDowell's World Studios
9
00:00:18,824 --> 00:00:20,364
here in Traverse City.
10
00:00:21,785 --> 00:00:22,744
And I'm sure it's,
11
00:00:23,224 --> 00:00:24,524
more in other places.
12
00:00:25,304 --> 00:00:28,105
If you're not from around here, yes, that
13
00:00:28,105 --> 00:00:28,925
wet sticky
14
00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:33,299
snow that would be really great for making
15
00:00:33,299 --> 00:00:35,079
giant snowballs. So,
16
00:00:35,699 --> 00:00:37,539
if you got kids and they like to
17
00:00:37,539 --> 00:00:39,619
do that kind of stuff, this would be
18
00:00:39,619 --> 00:00:41,559
a great day for snowball making.
19
00:00:42,635 --> 00:00:45,195
So I think I'm gonna skip a news
20
00:00:45,195 --> 00:00:45,674
story.
21
00:00:46,234 --> 00:00:47,615
The news is snow
22
00:00:48,635 --> 00:00:49,854
at this point, anyway.
23
00:00:51,435 --> 00:00:51,935
Today,
24
00:00:52,715 --> 00:00:54,655
it says snow before 11AM.
25
00:00:55,524 --> 00:00:56,024
Yeah.
26
00:00:56,950 --> 00:00:57,450
No
27
00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:58,810
blank.
28
00:00:59,670 --> 00:01:00,969
I wouldn't say it, but,
29
00:01:01,510 --> 00:01:03,049
yeah. Lots of snow.
30
00:01:05,430 --> 00:01:07,989
Let's see. Right? That rain and snow high
31
00:01:07,989 --> 00:01:09,209
near 38.
32
00:01:09,349 --> 00:01:12,010
That's, that that'll make it nice and messier.
33
00:01:13,125 --> 00:01:15,444
Southwest wind, 10 to 15 miles per hour
34
00:01:15,444 --> 00:01:17,685
becoming west afternoon. Winds can gust as high
35
00:01:17,685 --> 00:01:19,625
as 30 miles an hour
36
00:01:20,084 --> 00:01:22,584
and 100% chance of snow
37
00:01:23,045 --> 00:01:26,325
accumulation of about two inches. So that's what
38
00:01:26,325 --> 00:01:27,864
they say. I don't know.
39
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,540
Tonight, snow possibly mixed with rain before
40
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,299
11PM
41
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:36,480
and a slight chance of snow between 11PM
42
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,459
and 2AM,
43
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,880
low around 21, blustery with a north wind
44
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,560
of 10 to 20 miles an hour with
45
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,515
gusts as high as
46
00:01:44,555 --> 00:01:45,435
40. And,
47
00:01:46,314 --> 00:01:48,734
new snow accumulation less than an inch.
48
00:01:49,435 --> 00:01:49,935
Tomorrow,
49
00:01:50,875 --> 00:01:53,515
partly cloudy with a high near 34. So
50
00:01:53,515 --> 00:01:55,694
tomorrow's gonna be our only boring day.
51
00:01:58,155 --> 00:01:58,655
Sunday,
52
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:03,959
Yeah. Or Saturday night, snow likely after 2AM.
53
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:06,840
Mostly cloudy with a low around 24.
54
00:02:06,979 --> 00:02:07,879
Calm wind,
55
00:02:08,340 --> 00:02:09,060
and then it'll,
56
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:10,759
bump up to
57
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:13,400
five miles per hour a little bit later.
58
00:02:14,075 --> 00:02:16,335
About, two inches of snow.
59
00:02:17,594 --> 00:02:19,855
Sunday, snow before 2PM,
60
00:02:19,995 --> 00:02:21,754
then snow. Why did why did they say
61
00:02:21,754 --> 00:02:23,935
that in the forecast? Yeah. Just snow.
62
00:02:24,555 --> 00:02:26,875
With rain and freezing rain between two and
63
00:02:26,875 --> 00:02:27,615
5PM.
64
00:02:27,675 --> 00:02:28,175
Yuck.
65
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:30,319
And rain and snow,
66
00:02:31,419 --> 00:02:31,919
after
67
00:02:32,219 --> 00:02:34,460
5PM. The snow could be heavy at times.
68
00:02:34,460 --> 00:02:35,840
High near 38.
69
00:02:36,939 --> 00:02:39,439
New snow accumulation around eight inches.
70
00:02:43,025 --> 00:02:46,245
Sunday night, rain and snow becoming snow after
71
00:02:46,305 --> 00:02:48,705
eight. Snow could be heavy at times, low
72
00:02:48,705 --> 00:02:49,205
around.
73
00:02:49,665 --> 00:02:52,085
Doesn't say how much, but somebody somebody,
74
00:02:52,385 --> 00:02:53,045
on another
75
00:02:53,585 --> 00:02:56,385
venue is saying something about two feet of
76
00:02:56,385 --> 00:02:56,885
snow.
77
00:02:57,569 --> 00:02:59,330
I don't think it's gonna be that bad.
78
00:02:59,810 --> 00:03:02,209
In fact, last night, I went to dinner
79
00:03:02,209 --> 00:03:03,729
with a friend, and he was telling me
80
00:03:03,729 --> 00:03:05,590
about that because I've I've paid attention.
81
00:03:06,370 --> 00:03:08,610
And I'm like, I don't. Whenever they're hyping
82
00:03:08,610 --> 00:03:10,469
it that much, it can't be that bad.
83
00:03:10,530 --> 00:03:12,150
I wake up this morning, and
84
00:03:12,564 --> 00:03:13,064
winter's
85
00:03:13,604 --> 00:03:14,425
back. So
86
00:03:15,044 --> 00:03:16,664
and, yeah, sorry about yesterday.
87
00:03:16,965 --> 00:03:17,544
I I,
88
00:03:19,044 --> 00:03:21,604
announced it was Friday. Well, no. Today is
89
00:03:21,604 --> 00:03:22,104
Friday.
90
00:03:22,884 --> 00:03:23,944
Friday the thirteenth,
91
00:03:24,245 --> 00:03:26,645
the second one we've had this year since,
92
00:03:27,044 --> 00:03:28,139
February and March.
93
00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:30,400
Numbers all kinda line up.
94
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:34,620
Hopefully, nothing too crazy happens. Be careful out
95
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:35,759
there in the snow,
96
00:03:36,459 --> 00:03:38,959
and I will catch you on Monday.
00:00:00,799 --> 00:00:03,679
Good morning. Northern Michigan, or should I say
2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:05,059
Northern Arctic Circle?
3
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:06,899
Welcome to
4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,179

No
27
00:00:58,310 --> 00:00:58,810
blank.
28
00:00:59,670 --> 00:01:00,969
I wouldn't say it, but,
29
00:01:01,510 --> 00:01:03,049

And rain and snow,

winter's
85
00:03:13,604 --> 00:03:14,425
back. So
86
00:03:15,044 --> 00:03:16,664
and, yeah, sorry about yesterday.
87
00:03:16,965 --> 00:03:17,544
I I,
88
00:03:19,044 --> 00:03:21,604
announced it was Friday. Well, no. Today is
89
00:03:21,604 --> 00:03:22,104
Friday.
90
00:03:22,884 --> 00:03:23,944
Friday the thirteenth,
91
00:03:24,245 --> 00:03:26,645
the second one we've had this year since,
92
00:03:27,044 --> 00:03:28,139
February and March.
93
00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:30,400
Numbers all kinda line up.
94
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:34,620
Hopefully, nothing too crazy happens. Be careful out
95
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:35,759
there in the snow,
96
00:03:36,459 --> 00:03:38,959
and I will catch you on Monday.
