15 degrees this morning under a cloudy sky. It looks like it is gonna stay cool for the next week with highs in the low 20`s and lows in the low teens but just a slight chance of snow anywhere around here. This just sucks!!
I am really starting to regret putting out these reports with nothing positive to say other than the cold weather to hang around…..WE REALLY NEED SNOW!!!!!!! I see other reports from around the area that they are grooming but we just don`t have the snow here that other areas have. I want you all to understand something….we are ready, willing and able to hit the trails with our groomers once we get some snow. We don`t want to beat up our equipment on frozen dirt and ice now and then when we FINALLY get snow we are down with broken groomers!! When I groomed last Saturday I broke a cutting blade and a spreader blade on a drag and I was being really careful and going only 4-5 MPH…it was a long trip!
I have received a few e-mails asking if our trails are even open. The answer is YES they are with the exception of the 3 mile section of swamp south of town. There is some sections with decent snow that we can rate as good-fair and some sections that are poor due to the lack of snow.
I`ll be watching the weather close and hoping for some snow and something positive to report. Remember, I will NEVER sugar coat a thing for you! It is what it is and we can`t do nutin bout it. Ya`ll do your best snow dances!!!!!!!!!
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 11/27/24 Alrighty folks. Groomer Chris here still alive and back in the saddle for another season. It looks like I better get the trail reports rolling early this year!!! I haven`t seen this much snow this early in a very long time. I`ve got a solid 8" here at my place and I`ve seen reports of a foot plus outside of town. It looks like this weather pattern will last for at least a week with cold temps and lots of lake effect snow to come!!! I got a good feeling for this season!!!!! Mother Nature sure does owe us. We are ready to go. We have our sunk groomer (remember) back from the manufacturer with a brand new engine and the other 2 machines are good to go. The brushing and signing is about wrapped up on the high ground. All we need is Mother Nature to continue to cooperate and this season is gonna be awesome!!!! Just thought I would jump on here to see if I remember how to do this stuff and let ya`ll know we are still here. Keep checking back for the most honest trail reports for the Paradise area. LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Groomer Chris #paradise#newberry... See MoreSee Less

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.
