With the annual Leelanau Enterprise snowfall contest deadline now closed, Michiganders now await for the most important weather factor in determining their guesses: snowfall.
And according to staff at the National Weather Service Gaylord, snow could be well on its way as soon as mid next week.
“It’s not out of the realm of possibility that Leelanau does get some snow tonight…” said Andy Sullivan on Wednesday morning, meteorologist with the National Weather Service Gaylord. “There will probably be some cold air coming in next week, so we’re looking at potential for some accumulating lake effect snow here in the middle of next week. So that would be probably when Leelanau County would have the best chance of seeing their first accumulating snow.”
