STRAITS AREA UPDATE via Straits Area Snowmobile Club >> Thursday February 27th WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Winter ain't done with us just yet! A vigorous clipper system barrels through tomorrow bringing a nice swath of heavy snow to parts of the UP. The further south you go, the later in the day it'll be. Likely around the evening drive home a burst of snow moves through quickly coating the ground. This is along an arctic cold front that drops our temps for several days. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyWinter ain't done with us just yet!

We have continued to be warm the last three days but we will survive. We were able to build a base and in most areas our trails are still good. Yes you can find a few thin spots but mostly white. We are grooming our entire system tonight in preparation for tomorrow’s potential snow storm. It won’t take much snow to make things pretty again and the weekend temps are cold. If your looking for another trip and want to ride out of St ignace area this is gonna be your weekend. If something changes we will update but as of now the weekend looks positive.

Notice the heavy snow across the UP through almost the entire day. This is why some areas will go up to 11" or maybe even slightly more.
Winds will be HOWLING. Gusts over 50mph are likely. This can lead to blizzard conditions. I wouldn't be surprised to see some typical problem spots have road closures (M-28). #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
