Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/02
March 2, 2021 15 degrees this morning under a cloudy sky. Boy, yesterday sure was a raw day!! It was really windy outa the NW, we had gusts as high as 30 mph here, and it snowed all day. "They" were calling for 3-6-9 inches but from what I can tell we picked up maybe 2. I do have some knee high drifts in my parking lot. While I`m on the subject of weather……It is supposed to warm up starting today and "they" are saying up into the high 30`s and low 40`s by this weekend. Its tough to give you a report on whether its worth a drive up for this weekend but I will say this….there`s riding to be had just expect the roads to be bare and the back roads we use for sno-mo trails are gonna be down to mud. I didn`t get out a report yesterday for how things went on Sunday cause my router burned up and I couldn`t get online. I got it fixed now so here we go…… Mike C. ran the Falls trail #45 Sunday and had his wife with him to take videos. Poor Mike, he must be a glutten for punishment, LOL. She posted a bunch of them on our FB page so check them out. Those should answer all your questions on the conditions of that trail. He rated it as good in some spots and fair in others. Glenn ran the Point trails #452 and #453 and told me he would rate them as good in some spots and fair in others with some real thin spots. The loggers came back in and plowed down Vermillion Rd. again after a couple weeks off. We had it groomed up nice then they wrecked it again….doggone `em. Groomer Chris <> Visit Paradise Area Night Riders on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> System snow changes over to lake effect snow tonight, continuing through Tuesday. The heaviest snowfall rates will be across the western snowbelts of the west UP tonight, then the west-northwest snowbelt in the eastern UP Tuesday. 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.

I can't recall the last time nearly all of the United States was forecast to be below average.

A beautiful day to be out on the trails...don't forget to get your raffle ticket! #grandmarais #newberry <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>
Dave M. ran the South trail #8 Sunday also. He told me there is a serious lack of snow on this trail and if we don`t get some decent snow we are done with that one. We were hoping for some good snow yesterday but it didn`t seem to happen. He did make it thru the swamp south of town without breaking thru any water holes but it is really bare in there as far as snow goes and there was a lot of standing water on the trail.
Not sure what we are gonna do today. I`ll call da boss this morning and see what he thinks. As far as this weekend goes…… looking at the weather it may be the last decent one. Sure is gonna be a short season…..bummer. Keep checking back, I`ll keep you up to date.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook

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. I can't recall the last time nearly all of the United States was forecast to be below average.

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. 🌞
