Highs today will be in the seasonable thirties, making it one of the warmer days out of the next several. 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. 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! #miwx 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.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> 8:40 AM ET radar update: Widespread stratiform rain near central MI and in the lower elevations, with a wintery mix over the hills of northern lower, and snow near the tip of the mitt, eastern upper, and in the highest elevations. Precipitation will continue through the day and should remain light. Heavier precipitation will likely be this evening and tonight over areas north of M-55. Take the morning commute slow, and stay tuned for more forecast details. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> ~First Polar Front Thanksgiving~ 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. <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>
How does the old saying go??? One step forward, two steps back… We were off to a great start then the three-day warm up hit. We have lost all our snow and the trails are not rideable at this time. To add insult to injury, we have been experiencing wind gust of 50+mph and have numerous trees down. Some club members will be out on the trails this weekend to assess/clean up any trees that may be down on the trails. At this time, we have no measurable snow in the forecast for the next 10 days. Let hope that this doesn’t hold true. Until then, keep doing those snow dances!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.
