KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 03/14
It is a sad day when a snowmobile season comes to an end 🎬 ….grooming operations have ceased for the season. Huge thank you AGAIN to all of the Groomer Operators and everyone else that makes the season possible!
Paul Koski posted on our page looking for someone to ride with and David Pratt messaged him and they connected for a couple of last days of riding in the 2020/21 season. Paul is now all loaded up ready to head home and shared these beautiful photos of the days riding and comments, “ had a blast riding with David Pratt and Allie! So glad I was able to make it up here!I met a lot of great people from other riders to people who live/work here! Bear Belly Pit Stop went ABOVE and beyond wrapping an order of delicious BBQ Mac n cheese so I could transport it on the sled! Ron at Copper Harbor Fuel Stop -dudes a stich! Great place to fuel up and a convenience store! The crew at Slim’s Cafe down home nice and helpful! Today we rode 122 and back on trail 124! Trail 122 was bad..see photos of water on trail from David. It was passable but not easily. Trail 124 ranged from good to great! The only negative factor on 124 was bumps-no open areas! Trail 3 was good just choppy. So glad I made it up! I can’t wait to return! ” Thank you Paul for taking the time to share your experience riding Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula with us! So glad we were able to get you connected with a group to ride!

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. 🌞
