KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports – 01/19
❄️7" more Last night❄️
From December 30th (left) to today January 19th (Right) we have got over 60 inches. Grooming is is full swing here in the Copper Country and trails are getting in pretty good shape. It’s still early season riding with water hole trying to freeze up and few downed limbs. But for the most part they are very rideable.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> One of the most absurd snow forecasts we’ve ever made here at MSC, we’ve had to add an impromptu orange color for higher totals.
Key Notes:
•Snow begins to work into Michigan late tonight, but becomes more widespread during the early morning hours of Sunday. This snow continues through Tuesday morning for the UP, and becomes a snow/freezing rain/sleet mix for northern lower Michigan beginning Sunday afternoon/evening.
•Winds will gust between 40-60mph statewide both on Sunday and Monday.
•This will be a full on blizzard for much of the Upper Peninsula
•Expect scattered power outages across the state
•Travel will be near impossible for the UP and northern lower
Snow totals will be between one and four FEET when all is said and done on Tuesday in the UP. Further south, a mix is expected which will keep accumulations lower, and also will provide a sharp cutoff of accumulations. The difference between a foot of snow and 2” may be the width of one county.
Further south, this system will end as snow for lower Michigan on Monday & Tuesday, which is why we have a wide area within a trace to an inch, and western lower in a 1-3” zone with wording of higher totals possible. We may need to adjust totals here as new data comes clearer for Tuesday.
Stay tuned for the icing portion of this forecast. Northern lower Michigan will see significant icing which is not shown or communicated in this forecast graphic or write up. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyOne of the most absurd snow forecasts we’ve ever made here at MSC, we’ve had to add an impromptu orange color for higher totals.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> 🤔Where do you plan to ride after this next Sunday/Monday storm arrives?! 💨❄️
😳 We received another 12+ inches of snow yesterday for a total of 35 over the last 6 days! A season total of 325 inches- already topping last years entire season total! 👏
⚠️ If you are trying to arrive prior to the storm, hopefully you are on your way, as conditions do not appear to be safe to travel on Sunday and Monday!
Forecasters are saying this storm has the potential to be record breaking! 🥇 No matter how much we actually receive, conditions are going to be epic……. AFTER clubs have the opportunity to get out and groom the trails! Remember, during blizzard like conditions, the operators safety is always considered first!
Brent Mason decided to get back up here yesterday and conditions did not disappoint! Brent shared these photos with us! Thanks as always, Brent for everything you do to help support the clubs and community while in the Keweenaw! #keweenaw #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Confidence is increasing in a significant winter storm Saturday night into Monday night. Snowfall amounts between 1 to 3 feet could be near 2-day records in some areas. Strong winds and heavy snowfall rates likely result in blizzard conditions. Widespread impacts: very difficult to impossible travel, power outages, significant recovery time. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Although some areas in the UP are experiencing a lull in the snowfall this morning, we expect the snow to fill back into the area from west to east through early afternoon. Winds shift to N/NE, resulting in reduced visibility in snow and blowing snow, especially in open areas and along Lake Superior. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #sooAlthough some areas in the UP are experiencing a lull in the snowfall this morning, we expect the snow to fill back into the area from west to east through early afternoon.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> A second, more significant winter storm is coming Sunday into Monday, and it still looks like a whopper. Confidence is increasing in the following:
•More than a foot of snow for the UP and/or far northern lower Michigan
•Significant icing that may impact the power grid
•Wind gusts that could top 45mph
•Blizzard conditions
We plan to release our first call snow/ice/wind maps for this event later this afternoon. We encourage you to begin preparations as this event could be our biggest winter storm we’ve seen in quite some time.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Good morning,
A quick hitting, strong clipper continues to bring widespread moderate to heavy snow and high winds to the area this morning. After a brief lull in snow around daybreak, an increase in northerly winds and lake effect snow will return hazardous conditions to the north winds snowbelts this early afternoon.
Our attention then turns to a major winter storm set to impact the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region this weekend into early next week. Confidence is continuing to grow regarding significant snowfall accumulations (potentially record breaking) and blizzard conditions that may result in widespread impacts.
Please view this morning's informational briefing at the link below for additional details on both today's and this weekend's storm systems.
