Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 12/18
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Krupps Resort – We picked up 5 more inches Friday night into Saturday morning but all’s quiet now! More snow is in the forecast and Really COLD temps! A high of just 1 above for Xmas so hopefully that changes even tho it would surely freeze up all the wet spots in short fashion!.

As of 12/18/17, the Keweenaw Peninsula has 22″ of snow on the ground and has received a total of 94″ of snow for the season.
Keweenaw Snowmobile Trails-Provided by the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club
Snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are open but are in early season condition. Some groomers are out panning trails and clearing hazards. More snow is needed.
Any trail usage should be done with extreme caution as there is low snow cover, rocks, branches, wet areas and hazards that have not been identified.
The Portage lift Bridge is open for snowmobile traffic and the mat is down.
Trail 124, 132W and 133 are temporarily closed for logging.
Remember when you’re out on the trails to watch out for the groomers. They have the right away.

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.

FROM U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) >> Turning our attention to the end of the month🥶
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. 🌞
