Hello – Several of our tractors went out grooming yesterday. Most of the system got hit once before the warm-up comes early this week. I groomed Trail 37 north to Boon and then south to Trail 35. Overall conditions were mostly Good and better after getting some chatter worked out. Crossing fingers that warm up is short and we don’t lose this good start to the season 🤞. My son reported things to be really good between Boon and Mesick .. He said conditions were a little thin around Brethren , but I’ve heard Northwest towards Thompsonville had plenty of snow. Please remember this is early season riding and things aren’t perfect out there.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Several inches of wet, slippery snow are expected to accumulate over parts of the area through the next 24-36 hours as a clipper system moves through. Light snow will begin to blossom into more widespread snow late tonight, resulting in potentially unpleasant travel conditions for the Monday morning commute. Snow will slowly move through the region during the day, eventually exiting northeast Lower Michigan Monday night. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskeySeveral inches of wet, slippery snow are expected to accumulate over parts of the area through the next 24-36 hours as a clipper system moves through.

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).
