CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 12/03
We’ve gotten about 8″ of lake effect snow and are expecting 4-8″ more, but forecasts vary. With lake effect bands, snowfall amounts vary greatly from region to region. Trails around here have little to no base. I would make your plans spontaneously, and see what this next system brings.
We do have cabins open the next couple of weeks/weekends. We’re optimistic for a great winter season!
* Caberfae has been pumping out snow and plans to open this Saturday. * We have trail permits for sale in the bar! And also some new KLIM accessories in stock for stocking stuffers
THINK SNOW!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A clipper system will impact northern Michigan tonight though Thursday, delivering high amounts of snowfall. Highest accumulations tonight will be along the straits while the typical northwesterly snow belts of northern lower can expect around a foot this Wednesday into Thursday morning. Strong gusty winds will produce areas of rapidly dropping visibilities, which could result periods of whiteouts on roadways (especially Wednesday evening through Thursday morning). Please be sure to avoid any dangerous travel and give yourself extra time on your evening/morning commutes! #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#traversecity#petoskey... See MoreSee Less

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Lake effect + clipper system + lake effect = a hard forecast! But, here we go! It'll be very windy as well, especially later Wednesday into Thursday. We could have gusts over 40mph over land and 50mph over the lakes and lakeshore areas. This is will cause extremely difficult travel yet again. We'll have light snow Wednesday morning for the commute with heavy snow in the existing lake effect heavy prone areas. The Wednesday evening commute looks like garbage since we'll have strong winds and heavy snow coming down for ALL areas of Michigan. Then, we'll switch back over to lake effect areas by Thursday am. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea#gaylord#cadillac#traversecity#petoskeyLake effect + clipper system + lake effect = a hard forecast!
