PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI – 02/29

2/29/24
10 degrees this morning and snowing…..alot. We picked up a foot plus last night!!! Figures, winter decides to start the last day of Feb. I see I haven`t been on here to give ya`ll a report since the 18th, thats cause we haven`t had winter and I had nothing to report.

Our trails were all down to just mud and we had only a couple inches on the ground. My, how things change in a hurry. The weather is supposed to change again by the weekend and be back to above normal temps so I`m thinking come on UP this weekend. Ya`ll will have a blast in the fresh powder!!

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.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect snow showers off Lake Michigan and a Clipper system will combine for wet snow accumulations today. The highest snowfall accumulations in the U.P. are expected from Manistique eastward through the Mackinac Bridge with 2" to 5" inches of wet snow possible. Slippery road conditions are expected. Allow for some extra commuting time this morning; especially along the M-28 and US-2 runs. If traveling to or from the Lower Peninsula, plan for additional travel time as there is greater chance for 4" to 6" inches of wet snowfall across much of the northern L.P. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #newberry #soo #straitsarea #petoskey #gaylordLake effect snow showers off Lake Michigan and a Clipper system will combine for wet snow accumulations today.

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via Great Lakes Weather & Climate >> We crunched some data and wanted to share our snow totals forecast through 7 AM EST on Christmas Eve (12/24).
As stated with our earlier posts, the precip types should be a snow/sleet mix as you head north of the I-96 corridor. The Saginaw Bay, Thumb and northern half of the lower peninsula should remain all snow.
The tricky part is the snow and freezing rain potential south of I-96, including the I-94 corridor. As of this post, icy roads have shut down portions of I-94 west of Jackson.
Please take your time on the roads today and be ready for rapidly changing road conditions. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberry #straitsareaWe crunched some data and wanted to share our snow totals forecast through 7 AM EST on Christmas Eve (12/24).

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> Trail update 12/23/24
We ran from Pine Stump up to Holland Lake last night as well as 498 to the North Store and back to Newberry with both groomers Both are in good shape. Then we sent a groomer to Epoufette. There wasn’t a lot of snow but there’s a lot of vehicle tracks in the trail because of deer hunting that we wanted to get out before it warmed up.
There are a couple of down trees to watch out for. One is over by the Falls on 45. Another on 9 that couldn’t be pushed with the Tucker so we are going to take the tractor up there and chainsaw and get it out. It's on the edge of the trail, b weut it needs to be off further so just take it slow.
We opened the gates at cr 500 but paradise has not opened their side. They did try but got a groomer stuck so they had to turn around. There still are a couple of water holes between 123 and skyline road to watch out for.
Slow down, Be safe and ride right.
Merry Christmas #newberry #snowphotosTrail update 12/23/24
