I enjoyed snowmobiling the super freeway from Munising to Marquette. I was blown away by the divided north south lane. We traveled the power lines mostly. Typical UP winter really.

Lake Michigan and Lake Huron is just one giant lake. I grew up on the Canadian side. Wind coming off of Superior is deadly. I remember being a kid and it snowing so hard over night and we would hope school got cancelled but the radio stations in the area come from the American side and the Canadians would send reports across the river, so we could all hear if school had been cancelled or not. We would hear, schools on the American side are closed, schools on the Canadian side are open...ya right They hit with the same storm and same amount of snow !!! The American side would close and call in the national guard. We went to school :(

Love the video and I am glad that I left their in 1965 and moved to southern CA--I do not like cold weather--spent 2years in HAWAII AND it spoiled me--God bless the people that can live in it--

Many people who love the UP love it because there is a lack of people. You kind of go there to get away from the rat race lower peninsula. The UP has fantastic activities like some of the best snowmobile trails in the united states, Whitetail deer, partridge and other hunting where again it has some of the finest in the country. The pristine wilderness. Incredible scenic drives. Fascinating history. Quit frankly, the fewer people there are the more charming and alluring the UP is. What could be better the sitting in your little log cabin, in front of the fireplace with a hot cup of joe with your sweetheart. Put another log on the fire and smell that fresh UP air.

went to Gwinn High we had 18 feet of snow in 1971 that's when I took drivers ed. I'm forever good driving on it with right accessories. Swam in Lake Superior 32 degrees year round

Im originally from downstate lower Michigan, Montrose, Michigan to be more specific,but my dad lived in the Pelkie, Baraga area,Froberg and Pelkie roads to be exact,and I frequented the area many years as I have my dad buried there in the Pelkie cemetery,but I seen nice weather,and I have seen snow and it was not just a little snow but lots of snow,so much that you had to have snow shoes because it was so deep.

Nicely done, Chris. Really fascinating to see this area, which I’ve only experienced (St. Ignace and Mackinac Straits) in the summer.

My daughter went on a snowmobile trip for a week . End of February to March. She was up in Ontonagon. She had a blast on those trails with massive powder.

I live in Memphis Mich. very close to Port Huron. We love it here. I grew up in New Baltimore Mich. My family has lived there since the 1800's. I love Memphis just as much since we moved here 5 years ago. Most of my relatives still live in the New Baltimore area.

That guy was so nice to stand out in the freezing cold and let you interview him, and he was so welcoming. It gave me a really good feeling about the town. Driving those roads looks scary. Love watching this from my cozy living room in California, though.

My wife and I visited the UP in June of 23. It's my favorite destination I've visited. I'm a truck driver and have seen most of tge country and the UP beats all of it.

The track in the ice going under the Mac Bridge is done by Ice Breakers and ships. Some ships run all winter long generally hauling rock salt from Goderich, ONT to Milwaukee or Chicago. There used to be more traffic all winter when Iron Ore was transported out of Escanaba, MI to Detroit or Cleveland since that doesn't require going through the closed Soo Locks but the mine that fed Escanaba shut down and the dock closed. Some tankers also run all winter but they are few and most travel from Sarnia to the Canadian Soo below the locks. By the way SARNIA is generally pronounced SAR NEEYA, Canada's Houston.

Holy crap am i’m glad that I’m seeing this now. I was honestly tempted to drive up as far as Lake superior in my car and try to camp for a week either in February or March. I ended up not doing it thankfully, and this just shows me that I’m glad that I didn’t. I probably would’ve ended up dying in my car.

Love this video and your drones shots were totally awesome !

The people are great up there and will always take the time to meet and get to know you!

In December of 1995 Sault Ste Marie got between 50 and 60 inches of snow in 72 hours. It was very localized, though. 20 miles south of town they got far less. Average annual snowfall there is around 120 inches, give or take a bit, so that one storm dropped almost half of an average entire winter's snowfall.

Most of the accident prone areas are because of the drivers that don't know enough to slow down and drive according to the conditions.

I know that the snow on the ground in the Keweenaw peninsula was likely higher than what was in the Sault Ste. Marie area… but 29 feet of snow on the ground at any current moment? Doubt it.

@@webb-cast1030 Damn. Guess I’m ignorant. I need to find a way to fit more time in my schedule next winter to head out there and make a video.

Heh I remember when I was around 6yrs old my mom and dad was taking us kids upper peninsula to visit my aunt and uncle , my dad had to stop at a motel do to it snowing so hard ,the next day we had to eat at the motel and wait till the sidewalks and roads are plowed I remember in the dining room here and hearing some of the local men talk about it it was so deep they couldn't get the snow plow and one area and one man so it must be about 8 ft deep .

On the 7th day God created the Mac bridge so trolls could get to heaven.

@7:10 you mentioned Marquette and just west thereof. Well that's exactly where I live, in Negaunee.We get more snow than should be legal lol

I grew up in Mackinaw City. Go ask about the spring of 1972. We were snowed in our house on Henry st.

Sault ste marie is Awesome...and I like Munising mi either ways it's just a little town . But still an awesome place

I like the metal grading on the bridge.
