NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
508 AM EST WED JAN 30 2008

...WINTER STORM AND ARCTIC AIR TO IMPACT UPPER MICHIGAN INTO
TONIGHT...

.STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING AS HIGH AS 60 MPH THIS MORNING IN
THE WAKE OF RAPIDLY DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE MOVING INTO SOUTHEAST
CANADA WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE DANGEROUSLY COLD ARCTIC AIR INTO THE
UPPER GREAT LAKES TODAY. ALTHOUGH ANY LINGERING SNOW ASSOCIATED
WITH THE LOW WILL DIMINISH EARLY THIS MORNING...EXPECT LAKE EFFECT
SNOW SHOWERS TO PERSIST IN THE SNOW BELTS FAVORED BY WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS WELL INTO TONIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF THE FALLING
SNOW AND THE BLOWING SNOW WHIPPED UP BY THE STRONG WINDS WILL
CAUSE LIFE THREATENING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS OVER THE KEWEENAW
PENINSULA AND NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR EAST OF MARQUETTE INTO THE
AFTERNOON. EVEN AWAY FROM THESE AREAS...EXPECT BLOWING SNOW INTO
THE AFTERNOON TO CAUSE REDUCED VISIBILITY IN OPEN AREAS. PLAN ON
WIND CHILLS AS LOW AS 35 TO 45 BELOW ZERO THIS MORNING AWAY FROM
THE MODERATING INFLUENCE OF LAKE SUPERIOR. THE HARSH WINTER
WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO EASE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT
AS THE LOW MOVES FARTHER NORTHEAST AND HIGH PRESSURE APPROACHES
FROM THE PLAINS.

This is the first time I am experiencing this in MTU. The school closes when there is very bad weather like winter storm or blizzard. Donno to be happy or not. Cause will be held back in class. But everyone is facing the same problem.
