WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> There will be some melting before the weekend, but, if you are heading north the current snowpack is looking decent for many winter sport areas! Some areas of the UP that have had excessive lake effect this season are pushing 5-6ft of snow depth! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
Too bad that color is 40-50 inches, not 50-75 lol and its 1-2 ft not 3-4 ft
This supposed to be current snow depth? I’m 7 miles south of pine stump and we’ve gotten well over 2 foot in the last 48 hours alone. There’s way more than 50” out there. Way more than 75 even.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> Groomer operators Cody & Dale were out yesterday cleaning up after the storm & making our trails flat again. Everything was done except for the Cross Village loop (Trail 710 & 71 from Niswander Rd) and the part of the Alanson trail (71 from Krump rd to Trail 7). Overall the trails are in great shape, the best they’ve been in years!
Temperatures are supposed to be above freezing tomorrow & on Sunday, let’s hope that does happen and if it does let’s hope it stays cloudy. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos
