SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association >> This warm up is not what we need at all. We won't be grooming until we get more snow and cold weather, looks like that not coming until end of next week. The trails in and out of town are thin and all the parking lots are almost dirt and mud. Not what everyone wants to hear including us. We'll update when it cools down again and we can head back out and groom again. Wish we had better news. #seney #newberry I'm a professional dog groomer...I groom all kinds of dogs....send me a DM with your location let's come up with something WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Our Saturday starts off gloomy with lingering rain and areas of fog. The rain may mix with a little snow over the higher terrain of the west today. Look for the rain to end from south to north late afternoon and evening, then expect dry, but mostly cloudy weather for the rest of the weekend and into Monday. Temperatures stay mild, peaking in the mid/upper 30s during the day and falling back to only as low as the mid/upper 20s at night. Colder weather returning at the start of the the new year will bring a return of lake effect snow. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaOur Saturday starts off gloomy with lingering rain and areas of fog.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> Well we avoided the heavy rain up here so far. My weather station shows we got around .17 inches of rain. A lot better than what everyone anticipated 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. PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 12/27/24 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.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> Trail Update: 12/26/2024. 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.

Highs exceeding 40 degrees are even possible this weekend. Rain showers will accompany the warm conditions by late Thursday with patchy fog at times over melting snowpack. Ice on inland lakes and ponds may become unstable with prolonged periods of above freezing temperatures. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA warming trend starts today with temperatures climbing 5 to 15 degrees above normal into the weekend.

Early season conditions. If the cold comes next week this will set to a heck of a base
If I had time I would go for a ride on the seasonal roads and fire lanes worst case
Everyone do the snow dance!!! #newberry #snowphotos
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.

37 degrees this morning and raining. Looks like the next couple of days are supposed to be the same, or even warmer and more rain. We sure were off to a good start and then it turns to chit. I hate you Mother Nature! I can`t take this anymore. My business can`t take this either!
Here`s an idea. I know most of you have the week off. Why not just come on UP and get away from the rat race down there? Come and enjoy all the peace and tranquility the U.P. has to offer. There are other things to do other than ride. Check out the Falls in the winter or check out the Locks over in the Soo. The freighters are still sailing. ALL the businesses will welcome you with open arms!
It looks like the weather pattern will change by the end of next week. I sure hope so. I think I`ll get an early start and go cry in my beer now.
Later

We groomed 9 up to Holland Lake stagging area last night. We also got that downed tree on 9 cleaned up. Today starts a bit of a warm up for the next few days. Keep your fingers crossed it doesn't hurt us to much.. #newberry #snowphotosTrail Update: 12/26/2024.
