According to the National Weather Service, Michigan saw its first snowfall of the fall season in the Upper Peninsula on September 4th. While there has been no measurable snow, a cold front could bring the white stuff to more areas, with The Farmer's Almanac predicting that November brings the first real taste of winter for Michigan.
