No real changes with plenty of snow with overall trails in good condition. With the weekend rain and no new snow some sections of the trails have a loose layer of snow on top of ice. The recent sunny days are creating some icy corners and a few water holes so stay alert for changing trail conditions. Near towns roadways are starting to lose their snow cover. This time of year snow melt can change trail conditions quickly with running water so stay alert in the wetland areas of Trail 418 and just east of AuTrain. Our Bully is down for a few days again with a blown turbo charger. Big Deere expected back any day now but….. At least we have Snow in the weekend forecast that will hopefully freshen the trails up a bit. Until then Ride to the Right and Stay Tuned for updates!
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails – 3/9
Donnie made the run tonight. Warm weather is making the snow hard to work with and it isn’t setting up well. Trails wont hold up well unless we get some cold and snow. Weather outlook isn’t looking promising, but we will do what we can as temps allow until we cannot groom anymore. We are definitely in spring grooming conditions. Ride right, ride safe, and get your last rides of the season in while you can!
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> While the snow has been delayed in getting here early this morning, we are still on track to receive generally 3 to 6 inches of mostly wet snowfall across most of Upper Michigan today and tonight. Expect the transition to pure lake-effect tonight, with the lake-effect machine continuing through the rest of this week into this weekend. Traveling for Thanksgiving soon? Stay up to date with the forecast as lake effect snow continues into the mid-week. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup #marquette #munising #seney #soo #straitsareaWhile the snow has been delayed in getting here early this morning, we are still on track to receive generally 3 to 6 inches of mostly wet snowfall across most of Upper Michigan today and tonight.

WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> ~First Polar Front Thanksgiving~ The first polar front will sweep through the Midwest on Thanksgiving day bringing temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below average. Lows below zero are expected for some across the north and in the single digits down to I80. Highs this weekend will only be in the single digits and teens for areas down to I80. Dangerous wind chills of -20 degrees or colder are increasingly likely, especially north of I90. The graphic below shows the temperatures on Sunday morning. Another polar front will move through next week bringing even colder temperatures. Expect reinforcing shots of very cold air over the next couple of weeks. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea#petoskey#gaylord#cadillac#traversecity~First Polar Front Thanksgiving~

FROM Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> I need to post this image again because WOW. I can't recall the last time nearly all of the United States was forecast to be below average. Before anyone gets on the "SEE CLIMATE CHANGE IS FAKE" train... one of these below average maps DOES NOT negate the other 500 above average ones. Trends, folks. Trends. Nothing is a straight line. The warming temperature trend line is full of peaks and valleys with an overall increasing trend. 🙂 #miweather #keweenaw#westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea#petoskey#gaylord#cadillac#traversecityI need to post this image again because WOW.

After Thanksgiving, a large portion of the U.S. will likely see below normal temperatures into early December. And of course, there's southern Florida. 🌞
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Here's a map of observed snow totals from the recent storm. Snow totals ranged from little to nothing along the Superior shoreline due to the warm lake temperatures, to 2 feet plus in the higher terrain of Marquette and Baraga Counties.

Plenty of snow with overall trails in good condition. With the weekend rain and no new snow some sections of the trails have a loose layer of snow on top of ice. The recent sunny days are creating some icy corners and a few water holes so stay alert for changing trail conditions. Our 7 miles of Trail 8 North of Shingleton had extra attention yesterday with Operator Chris making 4 passes to clean out the (3) bridge crossings, moguls and banked corners. Snow in the weekend forecast will hopefully freshen the trails up a bit. Until then Ride to the Right and Stay Tuned for updates!
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails – 3/7
A few pics from last night’s groom. Snow faired the warm Temps and rain well. Trail is in good shape still. Some areas the snow is turning to sugar, and that doesn’t pack or set up so those areas will get choppy fast. But over all the trail is still in great shape. There are many branches hanging down from the ice, so keep an eye out for face slappers. They will go away when the ice falls off. Spent some time helping out S.O.R.V.A. last night as well. They are still down groomers, we will do what we can to help them out. Ride right, and be safe out there.
