SAULT STE. MARIE UPDATE via Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association – 01/24
Well, we’ve gotta take the bad with the good. We just ran 49 down to 12 mile road and it’s overall in fair condition. There are sections that are nice and smooth and others where the Tag Alders are poking up through the trail as you can see in a couple of these pics. The only cure for that is MORE SNOW! It has been snowing all day but not adding up to more than a couple of inches of fluff. Here’s the scoop on the rest of the trails… 8 out to Brimley is in good shape
8 between Brimley and Raco was done overnight and is in much better shape than it was after heavy traffic yesterday City trails are all in good shape, watch for branches in spots 472 out of Kinross west to 480 out to Raco (the Spile Dam) was done today. Groomer Mike reports that there are a lot of moguls in that area not due to snow but due to dirt and we need more snow to fill them in. He also ran 49 out of Kinross north past Gaines Highway and turned around before the beaver pond. He reports that section to also have moguls due to dirt and lack of snow.
The section of trail 49 south of 12 mile and north of where he turned around (known as the beaver pond) is the only section of trail that we cannot groom at this time due to very deep water under the ice. Please use caution here!
Kinross 494 behind the airport to 49 south toward Pickford will be done tomorrow.
Raco/ Bay Mills / Brimley loop ( 8 and 889) is in good shape Ride safe and keep the snow dances going!❄️❄️❄️

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A lot of good snowfall totals in the comments of this post. Looks like the Sault Ste. Marie area did the best with around 6 to 8 inches and 7 to 8 inches in the Newberry Area. A couple of inches in the Gaylord area. And then just rain and snow mixes elsewhere in Northern Lower Michigan with negligible accumulations. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#traversecity#petoskey #soo #straitsarea#newberryIf you got snow last night, we'd love for you to tell us how much you got!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A 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. 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.

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.

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. 🌞
