Delaware, Michigan

Delaware is an unincorporated community in Grant Township in Keweenaw County in the U.S. state of Michigan.

The Keweenaw County Road Commission maintains an unofficial record of snowfall at this location.

Official National Weather Service stations measure snowfall every six hours.

This procedural difference leads to systematic underestimation of snowfall at Delaware due to compaction of the new snow over the 24-hour period.

Helping to illustrate this point, Mount Bohemia, a ski resort in nearby Lac La Belle, Michigan, reports an annual average of 273 inches.
