Trail conditions- Very Good Snow last 48 hrs – 6-8” Base – 2-5” Hello- Very cold temps in low single digits tonight , but it keeps snowing and blowing .. Between grooming and plowing , I seem to be in one machine or the other quite often .. Trying to get a little sled time in as well. Very busy Presidents weekend ends today .. Trails got a little beat up over the weekend , with HEAVY traffic and also groomer difficulties. We had one of our groomers get stuck badly , and our “loaner “ tractor out of Boon broke down.. But as always , our volunteers got together and pulled out the stuck unit and brought our club owned groomer out of retirement to fill the void. Special thanks to all those guys who spent many hours dealing with these issues. From all of our local businesses , Thank You to the many sledders who came to the Cadillac area to share their hard earned money with many of us. Traffic on Saturday was reminiscent of 10-20 yrs ago , when snows like this season were a little more frequent. People seemed so happy to have this amazing snow to play in. Seeing many people getting stuck off- trail when moving for groomers , so be wise . Also , way too many vehicles are following GPS and ending up in middle of trails system and halting groomers.. Spread the word to these “flatlanders” to not go on roads if they see orange trail markers.. THINK SNOW & RIDE RIGHT!

Thunderstorms are also possible this afternoon. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAdditional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm. This could lead to dangerous conditions for those without power or a safe source of heat. Looking ahead, it will be quieter Tuesday before another system brings the potential for another active wintry system for midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm.

Does anyone have any information that would explain why Antrim County was excluded from the the governor’s State of Emergency? Are there any numbers showing ice accumulation for Antrim as compared to surrounding areas? <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>
