NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Tahquamenon General Store >> Just had the Tahquamenon Falls State Park Supervisor came in to get gas in one of the trucks and they have measured since Wednesday the start of this storm at 40" of snow!!!! Now if that's not overwhelming. Thankful for a great start, but may it's a lot of snow. #newberry GRAND MARAIS UPDATE via Grand Marais Tavern >> We are open again today at 3PM !! All clean and ready for the snow season!! Here is a peak of town conditions as we speak. Thanks Richard Sharp for the footage!! #grandmarais #newberry #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect snow will switch to the north wind snow belts. Snow bands could become heavy at times during this morning's commute. So, exercise caution if traveling. Take it slow on ice and snow! CURTIS AREA UPDATE via Curtis Area Trail Association >> Busy day on the trails today. We had 3 groups of sleds working freeze down, wet areas, clearing fallen trees and then followed by groomer panning the trails. Can you explain the layer of straw? Does it insulate causing melting then a solid freeze? WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> North-northwest lake effect snow continues overnight before backing to the north wind snowbelts early Monday morning. Confidence is increasing that a heavy snowband will move into the central U.P. during the morning commute hours Monday. Take it slow on ice and snow! PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> Paradise to Pine Stump to Grand Marias with some NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> Just a reminder to anyone out riding the trails. Please use caution due to any falling branches due to the heavy snowfall. Also please remember that it is still hunting season so please be respectful of the hunters. #newberry NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Trails End Lodging >> Good Sunday Morning from a winter wonderland in Windy Corners! WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> NW lake effect snow will veer to the NNW snowbelts today. Dangerous travel conditions are expected under the strongest snow bands. And, late tonight into Monday, heavy lake effect snow could move into the central UP. However, due to spread in model guidance, confidence remains low in location and duration of dominant lake effect bands across Marquette County. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaNW lake effect snow will veer to the NNW snowbelts today.

ECKERMAN / NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Clarke Motel >> Our trails are officially open- Keep doing the snow dance- it's working!! Remember there will be gates closed for wet areas and possible private land areas for a while!! Get it while ya can!! #snowphotos #newberry So happy to see a roller not a plow, it’s about time. If only the rest of groomers would realize SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association >> We do have a good amount of snow. It is all lake affect blowing and drifting. We can't give you an actual amount. We don't have trail reports yet because today is the first day we can start to go out. It's going to take us some time to set up the trails. Remember the ground underneath is not frozen yet. So swamps and mud holes won't be frozen so avoid those areas. Our Groomer Trackers won't be up and running just yet. We are hoping they will be back to us this week. They had to get sent out for an update. Once we get them back we will let everyone know. Give us a few days and we'll update everyone on the trails and what to expect. So far it's a great start to the season. #seney #newberry PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 12/1/24 PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> Just keeping tabs.. #paradise #newberry #snowphotosJust keeping tabs.. <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
As lake effect snow persists through the day, snow accumulations near 2-4" are possible, less near the lakeshores, and locally higher 4-8" are possible in western Alger and northern Delta counties.
Lake effect snow finally begins to taper off Tuesday before a clipper system brings widespread light snow late into Wednesday.

25 degrees outside and snowing pretty hard.....WELCOME TO OPENING DAY!!!!!!! In fact, its been snowing since last Wed. I can`t remember ever seeing this much snow on the ground on the 1st of Dec. I would say AT LEAST 2 1/2-3 foot. I have a picnic table in my front yard and I can only see the top of it.....HOLY WAH!!!
OK, ya`ll get the point. Is it wrong to say we maybe have too much all at once? I haven`t talked to da boss to see what his plan is yet but I`ll get with him. The snow is so deep we might have a hard time gettin the groomers thru it. The more riders that come UP the better to help us get things packed down....so.....come on UP!!!! You powder guys will have a BLAST. Please don`t go around the closed gates as there are swampy areas back in there and we don`t know how deep the water is yet. Our high ground trails will be epic tho!!! In case you don`t know, those are trails #452 & #453 and trail #8 out to Pine Stump.
OK, thought I would jump on here on opening day and let ya`ll know this season is gonna be epic. Keep checking back and I`ll keep you informed on our progress.
LET `ER SNOW........but maybe give us a couple day break to catch up....LOL
