概要
Co-hosts John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman are celebrating 11 years of traveling the great state of Michigan.
Description: What makes Gaylord the snowbelt of Michigan? And why does this tiny region get up to 168 inches of snow annually—more than most places in the state?
If you’ve ever wondered how geography and lake effects create this winter wonderland, this episode unlocks the secrets behind Michigan’s snowfall powerhouse. Join us as we chat with Jim Keysor, the meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Service in Gaylord, who shares fascinating insights into the region’s extraordinary snowfall.
Discover how Lake Superior and the unique geography combine to produce relentless lake-effect snow, making Gaylord a high-altitude plateau with some of the best winter conditions in the country. You’ll learn why the UP’s flat landscape acts like a snow conveyor belt, and how elevation adds an extra 50-70 inches of snow annually, transforming this area into a snow lover’s paradise.
We break down the science of lake-effect snow with surprising details: from how two Great Lakes deliver this snowstorm magic, to why Gaylord is one of the few places where weather modeling involves a 17-person team working around the clock.
Jim shares his passion for cross-country skiing—an activity made effortless by the region’s consistent, high-quality snow—and tips for visitors eager to experience Michigan’s winter at its best.
If you’re a skier, a snow fanatic, or just want to understand why Michigan turns into a snow-covered wonderland, this episode is essential listening. Jim’s expertise helps you see the weather not just as a forecast, but as a powerful force shaping local life, safety, and recreation.
Plus, get a sneak peek at what 168 inches of snow really looks like and how to track real-time conditions on the National Weather Service website.
