WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> (COLD TEMPS AND LAKE EFFECT SNOW MIDWEEK) While above-normal temperatures through Monday support drizzle and rain in addition to wet snow, temperatures take a tumble by the middle of the week. As those temperatures slide, by Tuesday, the pattern supports another period of lake effect snow!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> The end of November and beginning of December have been quite snowy! Thanks to our colleagues at the Grand Rapids office for putting this map and post together. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaThe warm Great Lakes and cold atmosphere teamed up for a week after Thanksgiving to deliver heaps of lake effect snow. New snow measured daily amounted to over 4 feet in parts of Northern Michigan. Some places saw 1 to 2 feet of snow fall in a day. Usually, lake effect snow is rather fluffy, but even so, this amount of snow up north settled into a good 2-foot base of snowpack. In southwest Michigan, mainly southwest of Grand Rapids, snow totals were around 1 to 2 feet, though a fair amount of it would settle and melt into the ground days later. Less than 6 inches of snow was more typical in Mid and Southeast Michigan. ... See MoreSee Less

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Light to moderate wet snow is expected today, with the greatest amounts expected in eastern Upper Michigan. Before precipitation ends, snow could change to freezing rain or rain. This may result in a glaze of ice developing on untreated surfaces. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLight to moderate wet snow is expected today, with the greatest amounts expected in eastern Upper Michigan.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A system approaching overnight will bring around a half inch of snow to the south and west with up to 4 inches possible in the north and east. While overnight lows will mainly be in the teens, Saturday warms up to the mid 30s, bringing with some rain, snow, freezing rain, and sleet, though accumulations of ice and sleet will be light. Some gusty winds up to 30 mph are possible over the Keweenaw. The wintry mix could create some slick travel conditions, so Drive Slow On Ice And Snow! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA system approaching overnight will bring around a half inch of snow to the south and west with up to 4 inches possible in the north and east.

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> Trail Report Posted.
www.algersorva.com/snowmobile-trail-report/
We posted a report.
Trails are looking pretty good. Seeing nothing but smiles out there.
Yesterday was a busy day for us. SAW meeting, 419 Frog Hollow Work, Thawing the 6175 ice block... water holes = drag becomes a solid ice block, groomer barn roof leak, and so much more. We have folks out riding the trails and giving us good feedback. Please feel free to post in the comments any comments or concerns.
Brownstone Groomer Update - This groomer will be covering from AuTrain out to Marquette. We inherited this machine with the front blade ripped off and one of the front tracks destroyed. We have been working through the insurance claims process. We now have all of the needed parts and the work will begin this weekend. We pushed and tried all summer to get this done. We are not happy we were not able to get this done before snow but it has been outside of our control.
Tomorrow morning we will be out in Newberry for the MISORVA BOD meeting.
We are almost getting to the point where we can run regular scheduled runs. Traffic has been very light so far. We are expecting that to change this weekend and will be monitoring closely. Again, we welcome your feedback.
Picture is the Frog Hollow swamp hole between Munising and Christmas. Nicely packed in and freezing up already. #munising #snowphotosTrail Report Posted.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A band of snow will press into the Keweenaw this morning. This will result in hazardous driving conditions for this morning's commute. Make sure to take it slow and drive with your headlights on! This band will weaken as it continues south, reaching the eastern U.P. late this afternoon/evening. Behind the band, more lake effect snow builds in before more widespread precipitation presses into the region Saturday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA band of snow will press into the Keweenaw this morning.
