Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 03/27
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western u.p. Trail Reports – 3/26 Started the day in Toivola with Harley Eakin and the Snowman and ran up to Ontonagon for lunch. Trail 12 was fine until we got to Greenland. From Pat’s Motorsports and a good 1/4 mile past was real thin. Lots of patches of no snow. From there into Ontonagon was awesome. Heading back down 137 was in very good shape yet. However when you make a left on to trail 13 there’s one hill coming into Rockland that is nothing but mud. All in all it was a great late season ride. Western UP Trail Reports Web Cam <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 3/26 Bluebird day in the Keweenaw!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> The strong storm continues through tonight, bringing a combination of high winds and heavy wet snow. 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.

Tom Murrin & Linda Dwyer spent the day riding north yesterday and today headed south.
Tom shared this video taken on their way to The Mosquito Inn for lunch and said, “Bluebird Sunday in the Kee! Had to ride a little bare asphalt and mud sections on Hancock side from M&M Arctic Cat dealership up the hill that section is still passable but not great. Actual trails not running through towns are great!”
Thanks for sharing Tom
