Seney Trail Report – 02/18
SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association – 02/18 We have sent out the groomers. We’ll report back when they are done doing there runs. <> SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association – 02/17 We have gotten a lot of messages and emails. Do we have enough snow to ride why aren’t you grooming. We have around 6 inches in Seney. We won’t be sending the groomers out until we get more snow. We will do more damage than good at this point. Remember everyone we have no base. As soon as we break through the snow all we will do is mix more dirt with the snow we got. There might be more snow to the north in the lake effect areas. Wish we had better news. Believe us we feel your pain. We’d rather be out grooming everyday like normal. <> Via Seney Snowmobile Association On Facebook >>>> <> Via Mater’s Stop -N- Go Gas Station On Facebook >>>> <> <> POSSIBLE LAKE EFFECT SNOW EVENT AFTER NEW YEAR'S DAY UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> The pattern will become favorable for a significant lake effect event after New Year's Day with increasing confidence in the first lake effect event to take place next Thursday-Sunday. It is way too far out to talk about totals, especially as deterministic guidance often underestimates these events. I wouldn't be surprised if there is over a foot in some locations just in that period. There'll be more updates on snowfall totals late this weekend. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Freezing drizzle, fog and freezing fog is possible into the overnight hours across the central sections of Upper Michigan. Hazardous driving conditions are possible, particularly on snow covered and untreated surfaces away from the Great Lakes. Higher terrain locations away from the Great Lakes may remain below freezing tonight where a light glaze may form. Areas of dense fog are expected in the central sections of the U.P., with Dense Fog Advisories hoisted into early Friday morning. Low temperatures mostly in the 30s are expected for the next few days with high temperatures ranging from the 30s to lower 40s. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaFreezing drizzle, fog and freezing fog is possible into the overnight hours across the central sections of Upper Michigan.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Warmer air and increasing moisture will lead to low clouds and areas of fog for the next couple of days. Some drizzle will develop this afternoon and evening across central and eastern Upper MI. Ground temperatures will still be subfreezing in some areas, so icy spots may develop on untreated roads, sidewalks and parking lots across portions of interior central Upper MI this afternoon and tonight. Scattered rain showers on Friday will then become widespread during Friday night into Saturday morning. A few showers may linger into Sunday over eastern Upper MI. Expect low temperatures mostly in the 30s for the next few days with high temperatures in the 30s to lower 40s. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaWarmer air and increasing moisture will lead to low clouds and areas of fog for the next couple of days.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A warming trend starts today with temperatures climbing 5 to 15 degrees above normal into the weekend. Highs exceeding 40 degrees are even possible this weekend. Rain showers will accompany the warm conditions by late Thursday with patchy fog at times over melting snowpack. Ice on inland lakes and ponds may become unstable with prolonged periods of above freezing temperatures. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA warming trend starts today with temperatures climbing 5 to 15 degrees above normal into the weekend.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A significant warm up is poised to impact the region beginning on Christmas Day and continuing through the weekend. Daily high temperatures will range from the 30s to the 40s. Well above normal temperatures combined with increasing chances for rain will likely degrade the ice conditions on area lakes and ponds.

For that reason, Kryptonite Weather and I are going to the UP of Michigan to chase the lake effect later next week. We will have more updates on plans as we get closer. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylordThe pattern will become favorable for a significant lake effect event after New Year's Day with increasing confidence in the first lake effect event to take place next Thursday-Sunday.
