Paradise Area Trail Report – 02/21
February 21, 2022 4 degrees this morning, cloudy and a stiff NE wind. No new snow last night but we did pick up a couple inches yesterday. The weather guessers are calling for 6-12 inches starting later today thru tomorrow……oh boy! All of our trails are in great shape. We do have a problem out in the old burn area that we call Siberia. That area has some HUGE drifts and it will take us a few runs thru there to get that part back in shape. Just be careful and ride slower as there are some pretty big drop offs from drifting. Other than that, we are in great shape on the trails. Now, on to other things…….. We had a machine go down Saturday afternoon, so here`s the story on that. Strange thing. A spindle broke that holds one of the center tires on and it looks like that caused stress on the front tire and that spindle broke too. Have no idea how Groomer Glenn limped that thing back to the barn! He was 10 miles out in the boondocks! The front tire stayed inside the track but the center tire went somewhere. Soooo……he was on the Point trail #452. He did go out on his sled looking for it but did not find it. If you come across a tire and wheel with a broken spindle sticking out of it, PLEASE bring it to us! The thing weighs close to 100 pounds and costs close to $1000. All I have for today. If we get this 12 inches of snow over the next few days the trails will be AWESOME! We do have a plan for runnin just 2 machines until we can get the other one back up.

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. PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> First measurable snow 2024! #snowphotos #newberryFirst measurable snow 2024! WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> System snow changes over to lake effect snow tonight, continuing through Tuesday. The heaviest snowfall rates will be across the western snowbelts of the west UP tonight, then the west-northwest snowbelt in the eastern UP Tuesday. 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.

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. 🌞
