Newberry Trail Report – 12/27
NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association – 12/27 Welcome back! The gates are open! There is about 6 inches locally around Newberry and maybe a tad more North. The groomers went out yesterday afternoon with only the tractor to push aside brush hazards. We will go out tomorrow morning to pan it down. It is snowing currently and 2-4 inches expected with possible higher accumulations further north toward Lake Superior. There is not much snow South so they will not be heading that direction as of yet. There are still some ruts from the summer activities so we will try to pack the snow that is currently out there down and freeze it in. It will take a little more snow to fill in some areas. If you are going out for a ride PLEASE DO SO WITH CAUTION DUE TO THE CONDITIONS AND THE GROOMERS WILL BE OUT. PLEASE DON’T ASSUME YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES OUT RIGHT NOW. Your safety is our priority! Trial 45: We went north and pulled some snow into a few water spots and will let it freeze in and will go back North in a day or two. We have have been to the County Road 500 and to the swamp from both sides as far as we could go. Trial 9: We went North to the Pine Stump with the tractor only to push aside brush hazards and will go again tomorrow with the drag to pan it down. There is open water between M-123 and 3 Mile. It is about 50-70 feet long and 8-12" deep. It is passable though. Hopefully this will freeze up overnight. Looking into the early part of the week a couple of systems to roll through with snow possibly on Tuesday and Wednesday. Northstore: Gas and snacks and rentals. Sunday – Thursday 9am to 9pm. Friday and Saturday 9am to 11pm Pine Stump: Gas and Food. Take out or heated outdoor dining. 12pm to 8pm. USE CAUTION: Water hole between 123 north and 3 Mile Rd. Outside of Newberry Trail 9. Groomers will be panning today on the North Trail. There are 2 logging operations on our trails. Falls trail just north of Laurel Lake and trail #9 south trail near McLeod Rd. There is only 2 inches on south trail.

This system appears to be more straightforward than the previous one. Be careful and leave extra time for traveling as we are all trying to get used to driving in the snow again. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey #straitsarea #soo #newberryA clipper system will bring our first decent shot at accumulating snowfall for the eastern UP, where 3 to 6 inches…or even a little more in a few localized spots…could fall by Tuesday morning…with the worst conditions expected between 5 and 10pm.

The first polar front will sweep through the Midwest on Thanksgiving day bringing temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below average. Lows below zero are expected for some across the north and in the single digits down to I80. Highs this weekend will only be in the single digits and teens for areas down to I80. Dangerous wind chills of -20 degrees or colder are increasingly likely, especially north of I90. The graphic below shows the temperatures on Sunday morning.
Another polar front will move through next week bringing even colder temperatures. Expect reinforcing shots of very cold air over the next couple of weeks. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #petoskey #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity~First Polar Front Thanksgiving~

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. 🌞
