Trail update
Both groomer trackers are now on board and I just got out from a short run near cut river. I was a little disappointed with trail conditions. All of that snow we received was so fluffy it hadn’t packed in good.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
Hazards: A quick hitting 1-2” of snow is expected along this front. Gusty winds will create very low visibility in the heaviest showers. Roads will quickly become snow covered, and falling temperatures behind the front will also create slippery road conditions where melting snow occurred today. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaThrough this evening: A line of heavy snow showers marches south across the UP along a cold front.
