Our members are working hard to get everything ready and we are holding steady at about a foot of snow! Do you guys expect to still have good snow after tomorrow? How far is the ride? Not familiar with the area but looking to ride in that area tomorrow. Wanted to ride up to the bridge but I don't think there is snow that far. 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.
