The National Weather Service issued multiple winter weather advisories across the northeastern and midwestern United States on Friday, warning of significant snow accumulations and hazardous travel conditions through the weekend in regions including Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.

In Houghton County, Michigan, the advisory took effect at 2:30 p.m. Friday and remains in place until 7 p.m. Saturday.

Accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are forecast, with up to 6 inches possible in the Berkshires.
