Jordan Valley Area Trail Report – 02/23
JORDAN VALLEY AREA UPDATE via Jordan Valley Trails Council >> 02/23 Thanks to Nick and Kevin for burning the early morning oil! Get out there get a ride in before the big warmup. <> <> Visit Jordan Valley Trails Council on Facebook >>>> <> Visit East Jordan Sno-Mobilers, Inc. on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Primary story for the first half of the week will be the milder temperatures, especially today. Breezy southwesterly flow will melt snow and could boost temperatures well into the 40s, particularly if we are able to break into any sunshine this afternoon. A stray flurry or drizzle could linger into Tuesday, with slightly cooler but still warm temperatures ahead of a more organized system that will bring the wintry mix potential back to the area for Wednesday…with potential for some accumulating snow in its wake Thursday with a potent punch of cold air. Be aware that snowmelt could lead to localized ponding in areas with snow-covered storm drains, along with ice jam potential on area rivers. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyPrimary story for the first half of the week will be the milder temperatures, especially today.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A disturbance passing through could bring some flurries or light snow at times. Otherwise, temperatures will try to warm toward the 40s to start the work week as southerly flow ramps up tonight into Monday. However, melting snow could lead to grungier and drearier conditions than currently expected. A couple more disturbances pass through the region tonight into Monday morning, and Monday night into Tuesday morning, with potential for a more organized system for midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA disturbance passing through could bring some flurries or light snow at times.

JORDAN VALLEY AREA UPDATE via Jordan Valley Trails Council >> Thanks to Nick and Kevin for burning the early morning oil! Get out there get a ride in before the big warmup. Rode to East Jordan today and enjoyed it except the groomer stopped before town. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Temperatures will be milder over the next several days. Along with the milder temperatures, there will be numerous chances for a mixture of rain and snow showers. Some area roadways will likely become slippery late Sunday night into early Monday morning. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey***Corrected graphic.*** FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Its a quiet, cool and windy afternoon in Frederic. Lots of sleds over at the swamp but I havent heard much brapping going on out there. Steady flow of riders thru here this morning and its now about 1:30 and only 24 degrees. Thats good cause predictions were for warmer than that today. Snow settled a little bit yesterday but we still have an awful lot of snow on the ground. I heard of a serious crash yesterday on trail 7 out by 5 mile road south of Grayling. It didnt sound good so Please ride safely and under control. I always say those sleds will kill you in the blink of an eye. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos Quiet, Cool and Windy in Frederic frederic-mi.com Here's the latest snow depth map from the National Weather Service as we go into the weekend (February 21, 4:40pm). This is the best snow depth map we have seen in a long, long time. With the slight warmup next we this might be the best snow depth map for the season, so get out and enjoy the snow this weekend! #MIWeather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #SENEY #newberry #Soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #houghtonlake #benzie #traversecity #petoskey Anyone know trail conditions near Lewiston? 2days in Keweenaw and trails were horrible. 3,17 were badly beaten. Ugh A map with no legend is completely useless Seney area is deep that's for sure Dale Stevenson where are you?! Luzerne! This is the best snow depth map I've ever found. It's never steered me wrong. I can absolutely count on it to find the best snow. Diane Johnson Scott David Clark NWS Gaylord is my go-to as a troll 😉

Weekly plan, groom early and groom late a couple days this week. Trails have been in great shape, this warmup will help us out and tighten the snow up, shouldn’t hurt us at all.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
