Saturday, Mar 14 - 3:35 PM Currently the Mackinac Bridge is closed to all traffic due to hazardous ice falling from the bridge cables and towers. I don't recall when the bridge has been closed so much as this winter. https://www.mackinacbridge.org/fares-traffic/conditions/

Feels very March 2023-esque today. Usually not this chilly under sunny skies in mid-March.

If this storm produces the expected snowfall amounts there will a lot of snow on the ground in the UP. Here are some current snow depts The Soo 23" Marquette 32" Herman 46" Calumet 55"

They're no joke. I attribute a couple of historical storms growing up there to my love for weather. The rare deep low pressure set ups like these in a tropical environment make for very "exciting" weather...let's just say. They just don't happen with this type of strength very often...once every 15 to 20 years?

I'm still gonna go with a couple inches for Chicago. May have to scratch and claw to get there, but it appears like snow showers could be in the area for much of Monday courtesy of lingering low level moisture and steep low level lapse rates through the dgz. Temps will be well below freezing, which helps with tacking on bit by bit.
