Joka Philipovic spent the day riding Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula and shared these photos and comments, “we started from The Trailside Lodge and then took Trail 3 north all the way to Copper Harbor. We put around 150 miles on our sleds and it was awesome with almost no traffic. There were a couple wet areas but none that were bad. There was plenty of snow ❤😀” Thanks for sharing your photos and comments! So glad you have been enjoying your trip! Groomer Operators are out currently. You can view their progress by downloading Groomer Tracker app and subscribing to the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club. There is a $10 fee and half of that goes to the club!

Ryan Bennet and crew are staying at Krupps Resort, as they always do, and shared these photos and comments of their ride today….
“Trail 3 may be the smoothest I’ve ever seen it. Real hard snow base that’s been groomed perfectly! Pure glass from mosquito to the 3 bridges…… The Mosquito Inn to Mass city was excellent!”
Thanks for taking the time to share photos and your reviews each trip up Ryan! Hoegully we Ron into you somewhere this week!
⚠Trail 122 is closed after the turn off for Dreamland Restaurant & Bar (Sawmill Rd) when you are coming from Lake Linden. You can still access all of the businesses in Lake Linden and Jam Service Inc. and Valley Sno Drifters trail to Dreamland once that club opens it. *You can not use Trail 122 to connect to Trail 124*
⚠Trail 133 has been reopened after being closed for several seasons. The trail is in poor condition due to low snow cover and wet areas
🛑 Trail 120/121 Freda Loop and Trail 3 from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden will be closed for the season due to the extensive damage from the 2018 flood. The trail from Hancock to Dollar Bay and from Calumet to Lake Linden will be open so both towns will be accessiblePostings From Keweenaw Trail Reports 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. 🌞
