KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/05
Good morning! We received a dusting of fresh snow over night…. nothing to brag about and there is nothing in the forecast for the next week unfortunately. That being said the temps staying in the low 30s during the day and colder at night are helping to keep the trails stable. Groomer Operators are out daily trying to provide the best possible trails.
Megan Frances Heuninckand husband shared these photos with us of their trip. Megan said “The trails were mint- we drove in during that last snow storm so we were able to travel on fresh groomed trails. We had a great time. It was my first time but my husband has been several times”
Thank you so much for sharing your photos and comments Megan! So glad your first trip to Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula was a good one!
It should be noted that trails are currently rated as anywhere from fair to good depending on the exact location. There are areas of exposed rocks etc due to low snow cover. Please ride these early season conditions with caution ⚠️ AND get the snow dances going!!

WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> ~First Polar Front Thanksgiving~ 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~

FROM Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> I need to post this image again because WOW. I can't recall the last time nearly all of the United States was forecast to be below average. 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.
