Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 12/27
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 12/27 Did you keep your plans to ride this week? Or did you cancel? Dan shared these photos and said, “Great riding yesterday from Bruce Crossing, Mass City, Rousseau Bar to Houghton. Copper Harbor run today! My family and I have enjoyed all of the years riding the The Keweenaw Peninsula! Thanks for all the great work up here keeping the trails great and us informed all the time! I operate a six boat charter fishing fleet of boats and also have condos and a store on the Sheboygan riverfront. We fish salmon and trout on Lake Michigan. Next year is my 40th year in business! We have stayed at Krupps Resort and Parkview – New Lodge and Grill – great lodging choices! We stop at The Mariner North, The Drift Inn, Quincy’s Dining Co, Hoppy’s Bar & Grill Up Chucks Bar for great food and drink! And never far to Rousseau Bar! Thanks so much for sharing Dan and hope the rest of your ride today brings lots of smiles and great memories! <> <> <> <> Keweenaw Trail Reports 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. KEWEENAW TRAIL REPORTS via Keweenaw Trail Reports >> Did you keep your plans to ride this week? Or did you cancel? I canceled and rescheduled for end of January. 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.

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> It's December 26th and we're still riding. I've even got the approval from a couple from Minnesota. Don't get discouraged the weather keeps changing for the better. I still think it would be a good idea to stay off trails next 4 days till it cools down again to preserve for the rest of the winter. Hate to see us start over. Thanks for the update be up in January 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 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.

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.

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.
