KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports…. Ryan Bennet is out taking advantage of a beautiful weekday to be riding Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula. Ryan said, “Trail 3 South of Houghton is fair to good. Trail 17 is good to great, but 3 up to Vansville Bar……..Great to EXCELLENT. I got gas and now probably headed to Copper Harbor! Conditions are too good to stop for long!” Glad you are getting in some amazing riding Ryan! Thanks for sharing! <> WOW! ALL of the reports from other riders are coming in outstanding! The trails on Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula are in excellent condition! Brent Mason shared some photos and a few comments on the first days of his trip! Brent said, “One of my most favorite places to ride a snowmobile is in the Keweenaw! The snow is amazing and the Keweenaw Snowmobile Club does an amazing job taking care of their trails and Keweenaw Trail Reports, keeping us all updated! I put on 350 miles so far on the Keweenaw trails this weekend and I saw a lot of grooming operations and smooth trails! Huge thank you to the Groomer Operators !🤟” Brent also said, “I want to give a shout out to a few of the awesome places we stopped also, Lac La Belle Lodge / Bear Belly Pit Stop super awesome place and awesome owners! Gay bar in Gay was really cool. Copper Harbor Fuel Stop is always a great fuel and convenience store stop – cool place. The The Mariner North and Eagle Harbor Inn for excellent food and drink! Slim’s Cafe in Mohawk has the best breakfast! Vansville Bar for fuel and an awesome view of the cliffs across the street! We stayed at the Super 8 in Houghton, along the canal and now we are still at Parkview – New Lodge and Grill for some more riding! Both of those lodging establishments are great places to stay! We stopped at so many wonderful places, it’s hard to mention them all! I’m thankful for all of the local businesses that make riding the Keweenaw even more enjoyable!” Thank YOU Brent for taking the time to share your photos and review on the trails and local establishments! We love to be able to post the experiences that other riders have! Enjoy another great day out there riding some of the best and most scenic trails in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula! <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western Up Trail Reports…. <> <> <> <> Keweenaw Trail Reports on Facebook >>>> <> MASS CITY AREA UPDATE via The U.P.

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. 🌞
