SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association – 12/27
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.
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Dreary conditions continue tonight as light rain departs to the north and patchy fog develops overnight. Dry weather is expected for much of the UP through Sunday, however, there is a slight chance of rain/snow in the far east in the evening. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaDreary conditions continue tonight as light rain departs to the north and patchy fog develops overnight.

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.

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. 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.

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.
