St. Ignace Trail Report – Straits Area Snowmobile Club – 01/24
Just a quick update and I will do more later. Over the last couple of days we received over a foot of new snow. Non of it is really packy, some sugar, some light, some just strange. Groomers are running, and there are zero problems in the trails, all rated very good condition. The concern now is to get it all packed down, as it seems like loose snow. The smooth trails may get bumpy with use until we can get it all packed and froze down. Temps this weekend are going to go back down to single digits. Be aware that if the temps drop to -10s, I will cancel groomer runs to same people and equipment, but other than that we should be running every day. Be safe, be courteous, and if you see a groomer get out of his way please. <> UPDATE via Gogebic Area Grooming >> Cold and snow are coming and we are busy getting ready!

A disturbance from the north will phase together with a piece of energy from the south to create a more robust system than previously thought. 2-4" of snow is expected for portions of MN/WI/MI that will cause some travel impacts, especially Monday morning. Lighter amounts are expected west and south but I might increase amounts some down into IA if the pieces of energy can phase together faster. Snow plowing season is starting in the UP so contact All UP Snow Blowing! #miweather~OUTDATED~

Before anyone gets on the "SEE CLIMATE CHANGE IS FAKE" train... one of these below average maps DOES NOT negate the other 500 above average ones. Trends, folks. Trends. Nothing is a straight line. The warming temperature trend line is full of peaks and valleys with an overall increasing trend. 🙂 #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #petoskey #gaylord #cadillac #traversecityI need to post this image again because WOW.

After Thanksgiving, a large portion of the U.S. will likely see below normal temperatures into early December. And of course, there's southern Florida. 🌞
