Snow is still sugary in a few areas along with some icy inside corners developing throughout the day. Snow expected tonight, hopefully we can bump the trail rating up a notch. Keep a close eye on trail conditions as you ride and stay right. Stay tuned for updates! DETAILED REPORT HERE: https://www.algersorva.com/trailreport/02-27-2023/ Today’s Trail Report brought to you by: Hiawatha Telephone Company, Munising, MI https://www.jamadots.com/ <> MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails – 2/26 Well, they say bad things come in 3’s, this is number 2. Just got the groomer back up and running a few days ago, and now tonight, we broke a tie rod. Groomer is parked on the trail in Eben, and can’t be moved. We will regroup tomorrow, and see if we can figure something out. Take caution in Eben, wouldn’t want anyone to hit it and get hurt. Ride right, have fun, and be safe out there. <> <> REGIONAL TRAIL REPORTS Visit Alger County SORVA Facebook Page >>>> <> Visit Alger County SORVA Trail Report >>>> <> Visit TNT Trenary Northern Trails Facebook Page >>>> <> FROM Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> I need to post this image again because WOW.

Marquette and Baraga counties remain under Blizzard Warnings with Winter Storm Warnings elsewhere. Widespread 20 to 25 mph winds with gusts up to 35 to 45 mph are expected across Upper Michigan. Gusts as high as 50 to 55 mph are possible along Lake Superior and in the Keweenaw. Widespread 4 to 12 inches of snow is expected, lowest in the east.

With this much snow, we can probably can’t see the gates! Lol. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Winter Storm and Blizzard Warnings have been issued! Blizzard warnings are in effect for Baraga and Marquette Counties. Heavy wet snow will arrive later tonight into Thursday morning as a low pressure system lifts into the Great Lakes. Strong northerly winds are expected and blowing snow is likely. Widespread 8-12 inches are forecast; higher amounts in excess of 2 feet are forecast across the higher terrain of Marquette and Baraga Counties into Thursday morning. Note: A sharp gradient in snow totals is expected just inland from the Great Lake-especially along the Lake Superior shoreline in Baraga and Marquette Counties. Wet snow combined with strong northerly winds may cause sporadic power outages. A prolonged mix of rain and snow will enable lower snow totals over the eastern sections of the U.P. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea WINTER STORM WEATHER UPDATE via TV6 & FOX UP >> WINTER STORM UPDATE: Rain/snow begins moving into the Southern counties this afternoon.

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. I can't recall the last time nearly all of the United States was forecast to be below average.

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. 🌞
