NEGAUNEE TWP. -- It can go from a peaceful snowfall to zero visibility in a matter of minutes. 

Lake effect snows have been blowing across the U.P. since Saturday and can be expected to drop up to a foot of accumulation.

The warm waters of Lake Superior, combined with north to northwest winds, have been known to make a mess.

"Expect the bands of snow to shift around throughout the next 36 hours, dispersing anywhere from an inch to as much as a foot of snow throughout the north," says TV6 Meteorologist Nick Kanczuzewski.

Meanwhile, the south can expect nothing more than a few flurries and little to no accumulation.

The snows are expected to keep up through Tuesday, just in time to pick up again on Thursday.

Officials warn if you must venture out into the wild winter weather, be sure to use caution.
