Snow will continue to spread across the area, leading to 1-2" of wet accumulations for many south of the bridge before switching over rain. Strong winds are expected today with gusts to 40+ mph, potentially leading to more down trees and limbs from recent icing. Thunderstorms are also possible this afternoon. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAdditional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm. This could lead to dangerous conditions for those without power or a safe source of heat. Looking ahead, it will be quieter Tuesday before another system brings the potential for another active wintry system for midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm.

Does anyone have any information that would explain why Antrim County was excluded from the the governor’s State of Emergency? Are there any numbers showing ice accumulation for Antrim as compared to surrounding areas? <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>
Hello- Looks like we can at least get back on the trails this weekend. Snowing now and 1-2 expected, with another small snow expected Friday night. I wouldn’t expect grooming anytime real soon, but with the little bit of icy base and this 2-4", there should be enough to keep things lubricated. What a tough year its been so far for sledders and businesses alike! I’m praying this is the start of a real winter pattern for temps and snow. Looking nice right now (3:40 PM) and radar is showing some more. Be prepared for icy conditions in corners and "Ride Right"! Several have probably cancelled for this weekend, but we might still have some "last minute" cabin openings if the skiers haven’t nabbed them up? Call, or check online for availability. THINK SNOW! Pete
