Traverse City Area Trail Report – 01/15
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> 01/15 We continue to get a light lake effect. This morning we had about 2 inches of fresh snow. Tomorrow, we’re forecasted for 1-3+ depending on which way the wind blows. The groomers have been doing a great job with the snow they have to work with. The trails are rated as good with some thin spot with snirt. We need a good system dump! Until that happens, GTASC groomers will do the best they can with what they have to work with. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober. <> <> Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> Area Reports: Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A brief taste of mild weather today will lead to rain mixing into snow ahead of a front that will bring much colder weather to the area starting early Saturday.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A clipper system passing through the region will punt ongoing widespread light snow eastward this morning, transitioning things to primarily NW flow lake effect by this afternoon. Localized totals of 1 to 3 inches of snow are possible by this evening in the typical NW flow snow belts. Pockets of snow covered roads and reduced visibilities will result in hazardous travel in some areas today. Highs in the lower 30s today. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA clipper system passing through the region will punt ongoing widespread light snow eastward this morning, transitioning things to primarily NW flow lake effect by this afternoon.
