	A lot of snow! Tip Rating:

I think my car is the lump on
the right!

by yooperprof

Sometimes Marquette gets a lot of snow all at once. This can be problematic if you have to park your car outside for an extended period of time. Say for example you are flying out of the airport, and you want to leave your car. There's no parking garage! In the winter, it's always a question whether you'll be able to find it when you get back. Maybe you should attach a colored ping-pong ball or flag to your antenna? (Unfortunately, a lot of cars today don't have antennas.) One year I went to Florida for a week in March, and this is what I found when I returned. (Be sure to carry a shovel in your car.)

	Stay off the breakwalls during storms, duh! Tip Rating:

Do I have to tell you this? Avoid walking on the breakwalls when there are high waves - or when there is a storm approaching. Every few years someone gets swept off and drowns. Last time it was two students at the university here. They didn't believe that Lake Superior could kill them. Ach. Do use common sense and caution when swimming in the Lake. It can look calm and inviting, but there can be dangerous 'riptides' that you can't see from shore.

	Buzzing and Growling Creatures Tip Rating:

In the U.P. there is always the possibility of mosquitoes and biting flies any time of the year except winter. When out and about, especially if hiking, have insect repellent available in case you meet some of these not too pleasant residents. Also while hiking keep alert for black bears.

If you're not used to driving in snow, DO NOT go up in the dead of winter. Marquette is known for it's snow and ice. Huge deer population so watch out!!

Driving at night. It's important to watch our for deer and bears when driving.

Also, in the winter, be careful when driving in icy/snowy conditions...especially if you aren't used to it.

Marquette can be pretty brutal in the winter if you are not used to lots of snow and cold weather. Drive carefully when traveling in Marquette in the winter.
