The Oscoda City Desk Action Weather Team has an important winter weather update!

Winter has indeed found us friends. This week brings two snow events to our fair township. First, tomorrow (Tuesday) morning early the snow will start and depending on the drift of this one, could bring anywhere from 2-8' across the northern tier of the lower peninsula. Oscoda and along the lake is looking like a 2-4" currently, more south and northwest.

Now for the real fun, Friday.

It looks like it begins mid-morning Friday and goes through Saturday afternoon. Maybe this is why nobody is RSVPing to Johnny's Saturday afternoon Browns playoff buffet. So, there you have it, hippity hoppity winter's on the way. See you at the quickly emptying grocery store!

Oscoda, we need to talk a little weather this morning...

...actually maybe we should have a big talk about the next 24 hours of weather around here. 

Snow and ice are on the way but the big problem is the ice and the amounts. Some predictions have almost a half-inch of ice setting up around the greater Oscoda area. You read that right, a half-inch. Bet on at least a third of an inch and that means loss of power and trees and branches coming down no doubt. If your phone or iPad or other electronics need charging, now would be the time. Now, there is the threat of some amount of snow, 2 inches, 3 inches, 4 inches, no model seems to have landed on a solid amount of snow on top of the ice. This whole winter storm party kicks off tonight around 6pm so whatever preparations you feel you need to make, you have some time today. 

Stay with the Oscoda City Desk Action Weather Team for more information as it becomes available.
