21 degrees this morning and cloudy with a light snow floating around in the air. Got just a dusting of snow last night again. I have lots of good news, so hold on….here we go……
Groomers Mike C. and Dave M. were the ones that went into the swamp yesterday with just machines. Everything went great and they were able to get the trouble spots froze in. We will let it set up today and I am gonna take a drag thru there tomorrow. If everything goes good with that we should have it open for the weekend!!!! YEA!!!!!
Groomers Kevin and Mike H. ran the Falls trail #45 last night and rated it as good. We have one minor trouble spot that we have a detour around. We are gonna give that spot one more day to freeze up and then we`ll take a machine thru it tomorrow and that should be good to go!!!!
We are runnin the Pine Stump trail #8 today and the Point trails #452 and #453 and then those should be good to go!!!!
I`ve got the green flag out and fixin to wave it for the weekend baring any mishaps!!!! It looks like the weather is gonna cooperate with us too!!!

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. ... See MoreSee Less

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 Midwest Weather >> ~First Polar Front Thanksgiving~ 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~

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. 🌞
