Snowfall with total amounts of 15 to 20 cm is expected. What: Snowfall amounts of 15 cm. Reduced visibility due to local blowing snow. When: Wednesday morning into early Thursday morning. Additional information: A low pressure system is expected to bring snow to the area. Strong easterly winds are expected to cause a reduction in visibility due to blowing snow. The northern edge of the snow boundary is very sharp. If the system tracks south snowfall amounts could be greatly affected. ### Travel will likely be challenging. Visibility will likely be reduced at times. Local utility outages are possible. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.

Winter Storm Warning issued February 17 at 12:05PM EST until February 18 at 10:00PM EST by NWS Gaylord MI

Effective: Tue February 17, 2026, 5:05 PM
Expires: Wed February 18, 2026, 5:15 AM

* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations between 5 and 9 inches and ice accumulations around a light glaze. Locally higher snow amounts possible. Winds gusting as high as 40 mph. * WHERE...A portion of Eastern Upper Michigan. * WHEN...From 1 AM to 10 PM EST Wednesday. * IMPACTS...The strong winds and weight of snow on tree limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages. Travel could be very difficult. Widespread blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions could impact the Wednesday morning and evening commutes.

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency. Persons should delay all travel if possible. If travel is absolutely necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden changes in visibility. Leave plenty of room between you and the motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is winterized and in good working order.
