Antrim County Trail Report – 01/20

Snow: haven’t got much this week! Inch or so last night and hoping a few more into the weekend.

Last night groomer Cecil had the day off and went grooming the south trails. 131 is thin, VERY thin! Alba to Mancelona road is “ok” but the best snow is south of Mancelona Road. Trails turned out better than expected.

The green team on the north is going to head out tomorrow and do what they can in the valley. Last report was the valley “wasn’t bad” but like everything else, could use snow. All our units until yesterday have only been out once each.

If your out on the trails remember this is similar to early season riding, watch out for uneven trails and possible hazards in the trails

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Additional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas. Snow will continue to spread across the area, leading to 1-2" of wet accumulations for many south of the bridge before switching over rain. Strong winds are expected today with gusts to 40+ mph, potentially leading to more down trees and limbs from recent icing. Thunderstorms are also possible this afternoon. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAdditional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm. This could lead to dangerous conditions for those without power or a safe source of heat. Looking ahead, it will be quieter Tuesday before another system brings the potential for another active wintry system for midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm.

Does anyone have any information that would explain why Antrim County was excluded from the the governor’s State of Emergency? Are there any numbers showing ice accumulation for Antrim as compared to surrounding areas?

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> From Billy Miller in Gaylord. Absolutely wild how trees bend to the ground under the immense weight of the ice.
Did you know a 30ft diameter tree can weight up to 7,000 extra lbs with that amount of ice on it? Crazy.

Antrim County Trail Report – 01/13

ANTRIM COUNTY UPDATE via Antrim County Snowmobile Club​ – 1/13

Good afternoon,
First and foremost have to thank our volunteers for all the work they have put in to get trails ready this year! Their dedication to maintaining safe and smooth trails is extraordinary.

Unfortunately the one thing that isn’t holding up it’s end of the bargain is Mother Nature. We had a great start to the year and then it was 50* and crazy wind and rain storms.

This week we sent each machine out and unfortunately the reports all came in the same, we need snow. Yesterday a couple of our guys went out for a ride and said the same thing. Trails currently are dirt to 5” of snow. The wooded areas are super thin as well as most areas open to the wind. Our southern trails have some chop in them from the uneven ground, 131 is very thin, north 10 is this as well.

With that said, we won’t be grooming until we receive more snow. Our crews are in place and the minute we can groom we will turn them loose!

If you ride please be cautious of the early season like conditions. Water, ruts, washboard / uneven ground. If you happen to see a trail obstruction please message us and we’ll get it taken care of. Please as you search for snow be mindful of private land owners and where you are.

Stay tuned for more updates!
