WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A few snow showers across the fingers of the Mitten early this morning will diminish…but lake effect will linger for the eastern Yoop into this evening, where another couple inches or so of snow could accumulate north of M-28. Highs today will be in the seasonable thirties, making it one of the warmer days out of the next several. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskeyA few snow showers across the fingers of the Mitten early this morning will diminish…but lake effect will linger for the eastern Yoop into this evening, where another couple inches or so of snow could accumulate north of M-28.

GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Snow in Gaylord this morning from my dad, Ken! #snowphotos #gaylord 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! Please include a rough time of when your measurement was taken, how long the snow was falling, your locations, and if possible, a picture of a ruler in the snow. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating snow is expected to continue into tonight with the highest snowfall rates/ worst travel conditions expected most likely between 6pm and 11pm this evening. Snow will continue into Tuesday with high uncertainty on where the heaviest lake effect snow could set up– Stay tuned for forecast updates and use caution while traveling! #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskeyAccumulating snow is expected to continue into tonight with the highest snowfall rates/ worst travel conditions expected most likely between 6pm and 11pm this evening.

To bad we dont have the problem they have in South Dakota where they have snow but trails dont open till the 15th of December. The best day of riding that I had last year was on November 28 when Big John and I got in a nice 60 mile ride after a nice dumping of snow that morning. Everyone always asks me what I think the season is going to be like and my standard answer is I will tell you in April. I need to get some time in at Sledheads and get the front room ready for the season as I tend to let it get a little messy during the summer when I am not open. I put the winter signage back up last week on a nice 60 degree day. I picked up trail permits this week too but I am not putting one on my sled till we have rideable snow. I did see both Kalkaska and Grayling groomers out doing trail maintenance in the past month or so. Thats about it for now. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #grayling frederic-mi.com 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.
