Winter is coming.

(Yes, we know you knew it, just let us use the Game of Thrones reference, agree?)

The Office of the National Meteorological Service in Marquette posted on Facebook this morning on a "slight build-up of wet snow" that is falling in areas of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, including the Township of Negaunee.

"It's snowing at the National Weather Service office in Negaunee Township at 41:00 EDT," the NWS said. "A slight buildup of wet snow has occurred on vehicles and the grass up to now." A build-up of slush can occur on the highest terrain in some parts of the country. west and north-central Upper Michigan early in the morning. "

The NWS office in Gaylord also reported light snowfall in the Mackinac Sound this morning, with temperatures approaching 40 degrees.

Can not we let the fall colors pass before we get there? Of course not, it's Michigan. And we can not have beautiful things like falling for the normal 3 months of the year.

Those of you from Southeastern Michigan, do not worry, the snow is not near to arrive (come back tomorrow if this forecast inevitably changes): the weekend forecast to Detroit are calling a high of 81 degrees on Saturday and Sunday, Sunday, with some thunderstorms, according to weather.com.

The beginning of next week's prognosis is a temperature in the 70s and perhaps even below 80 in Detroit, then a drop towards Thursday or Friday to peaks in the 50s and 60s.

You know, the real autumn time.
