Newberry Trail Report – 02/16
NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Gene’s Tahquamenon General Store – 2/16
Thought I’d update on our conditions. Are you still planning on coming up this weekend. President’s weekend is around the corner. People have called curious about if things are down to dirt. Nope!
Gene’s Tahquamenon General Store
Just had 5 guys came in ..Asked how’s the trails. Their opinion is not that bad.

Update:
Temps have steadily fallen all day. Currently its is about 20 degrees with a wind chill of 10. Groomer is out headed north to Holland Lake. Be cautious if you do ride as water holes may opened back up and other hazards could be exposed from melting snow. Be safe and ride right..

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump – 2/14
Well here’s my speech for the day since everyone keeps asking
Yeah it got warm for a couple days
Yes it rained over night
The snow isn’t all gone
I don’t have time to ride the trails so I can’t answer how they are
We had a hell of a base this way and good snow before this
Here’s 2 pictures one from Sunday and one from today
I don’t see a huge difference after the rain out front.
It’s going to be like riding in mid March. Towns are probably bad. Things are probably better up this way
It’s going to cool down tonight and this stuff will be hard. If it’s cold Groomers will go out
If you like banging a couple hundred miles a day or more you probably won’t like it
If you want to go pick around and explore you will probably be ok
All I can show is these two pictures and you can be the judge. It’s not the trail but it will show how much we lost in general
We have parking out back for those who want to go riding and avoid town
If everyone gets scared and don’t come I’ll take advantage of it and go for a ride 🙂
I just told a guy worse case there are many things you could do if you don’t like the sledding. I can recommend some nice places and businesses to Visit if you come up this weekend 🙂

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA – 2/15
Due to the warm temps and rain we will not be out grooming until further notice. We did not loose all of our snow and temps are suppose to fall all day and through tomorrow. If you would like to come up and ride then we suggest trailering north. Be cautious if you do ride as water holes may opened backup and other hazards could be exposed from melting snow. Plowed dirt roads are ice covered and very slick. As soon as we have more details on trial conditions we will let everyone know. In the mean time start dancing.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> Terrible out zero visibility today
I highly recommend everyone stays in today
We are closed and will keep everyone posted #newberry #snowphotos
GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> Trail update" WE HAVE SNOW!!! Unfortunately we are holding off grooming until the weather dies down and then long enough to get dug out!! I do not know how many inches of snowfall we have had with this current storm, but drifts are from 5 to 10 feet around my house and driveway!
I hope everyone is staying safe and indoors. It took about 35 minutes to dig out far enough for our dog to go out... and right back in!!! I put a shovel in the snow on top of where our generator is...in case power goes out and it don't start I will be able to find it. Stay safe, ride right, and for now, bench race!!!

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Tahquamenon General Store >> 2nd time digging out drifted paths from house to store. Hard to predict the total so far , but I'd say 20" and blizzard warnings for another 18 hours. Definitely closed until further notice. If your needing to be out, but shouldn't be Paradise Rec Sports did post they were Open until 6 pm. Glad someone can accommodate for emergency sake. Wheelhouse Diner is also Open. I'd advice to stay off road so county plow trucks can do their job without risk of someone stuck on highway, which report big truck near Rivermouth stuck on M123 in snow drift. Be safe, be smart. #newberry #snowphotos2nd time digging out drifted paths from house to store. Hard to predict the total so far , but I'd say 20" and blizzard warnings for another 18 hours.

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 3/16/26
14 degrees this morning and the blizzard is still going strong! Its been 24 hrs. straight and they are saying another 24 before it lets up. Its crazy out der folks! I`ve got drifts at least 6` high and I`ve got one door open enough to even get outa my house! I`ve lived in da yoop for almost 26 yrs. and can`t remember anything like this. As far as the trails go.....I think its gonna be another day or two before we can get out.....I`m actually thinking not until Wednesday.....but we WILL be out as soon as we can. The trails will probably be a blast right now for all you drift busters but you groomed trail riders will have to wait a couple days till we can get to it. Bout all I got for now. If you do head out for a ride today be mindful of possible blown down trees and crazy drifting and be safe!

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 3/15/26
Its Sunday afternoon, 5pm, and a down right blizzard out der. I don`t remember seeing a storm this bad in a long time. Thought I would jump on here real quick cause social media is going crazy thinking we are done grooming. This is far from the truth! We are done on the Falls trail #45 and the swamp on trail #8 just south of town cause that last warm up really put a hurtin on them. The warmer swamp water really started to flow cause of the melt and caused a lot of open spots. We WILL NOT risk swamping a machine! We are gonna wait out this blizzard and get back at it on all the other trails. This may not be until Tuesday or even Wednesday as this is supposed to last until Monday night or early Tuesday morning. We have to dig ourselves out too!!!! Sooooo....please be patient. I will jump on here tomorrow morning and give ya`ll an update.

WEATHER UPDATE via 9&10 News >> Winter Storm Update: 3-15 Sunday 1PM
Phase 2 of the Winter Storm is kicking off! This will bring heavy snow and gusty winds still for the U.P. and Tip of the Mitt. The icing area we have talked about for the last few days landed where we thought it would. Leelanau down to Wexford and Northeast. These areas could see up to .5" of ice through today and tonight with isolated higher amounts. Winds will continue to gust upwards of 40-50mph. The snow totals map you see is on top of what you have already seen.
Don't be fooled, the lull from the initial burst to the second part is the system nearing. The second phase will be the worst with this storm. This afternoon - Monday morning.
I will be live with an update this evening at 6, right here on the 9&10 Facebook page and the 9&10 News YouTube channel.
We will also be live on tv at 11! #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberry

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Final Update For Ice Accretion:
A dangerous ice storm will begin tonight for portions of northern lower Michigan. The heaviest ice accretion takes aim in a localized area from Traverse City to Gaylord to Atlanta with over 0.50" of ice expected. Around this area, a zone of significant icing between 0.25' to 0.50" is expected - which is still enough to take down tree limbs and create power outages. The worst of the icing will be tonight into Monday morning, and then we deal with high winds moving in Monday morning as well which will only exaggerate the effects of this event.
Plan for multi day outages, near impossible travel, and scattered tree damage, some significant. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberryFinal Update For Ice Accretion:

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Heavy snow will continue across the Tip of the Mitt into eastern upper over the next several hours (at least), while snow will begin to mix with sleet and freezing rain this afternoon and evening. Significant snow and icing expected into the overnight hours. #miweather #petosky #gaylord #soo #newberryHeavy snow will continue across the Tip of the Mitt into eastern upper over the next several hours (at least), while snow will begin to mix with sleet and freezing rain this afternoon and evening. Significant snow and icing expected into the overnight hours.
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Potentially historic, record-breaking snowfall between 1 and 3 feet expected across all of Upper Michigan. Highest storm total snow expected in the central and east. Greatest potential for 4 feet is the high terrain of north-central. Strong winds and heavy snowfall rates will result in a long duration of blizzard conditions. Widespread impacts: dangerous to impossible travel, power outages, prolonged recovery time.
