Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/01
January 1, 2022
15 degrees this morning and snowing!!!! I picked up about 4 inches of fluff on my deck since last night. Happy New Year!!!! Looks like all we had to do was flip the calender over from 2021. Good start for the new year. So, here`s whats going on in Night Riders land……
Groomer Dave M. is heading out on the Falls trail #45 this morning. He`s taking a drag with him and will try his darndest to get this trail open today. We have one big water hole about 6 miles west of town on this trail but he will cut a detour around it for now.
Mike C. is talking about heading out trail #8 to Pine Stump tomorrow.
Waiting to hear snow reports from the Point trails to determine when to hit that, then we`ll start working on trail #8 south.
Sooo……things are looking better. C`mon 2022…..show us what ya got!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris

FROM Trails End Lodging >> Woke up to a little snow in Windy Corners (Newberry, Mi)!
It’s a beautiful start to the day!! #newberry #snowphotos
Is this the knowlwood inn ?
FROM Superior Hardware - Grand Marais, MI >> Got snow? Yep, we do!
If you've been putting off those last few “winter” preps like we have, then there's nothing quite like the first snowfall to give you that little push!
Have a great Sunday- stay warm friends.
Hours (reminder) for all your hardware/ 🔨construction, seasonal ❄️, and ‘just because’ needs!
Sunday: Closed

FROM Great Lakes Weather & Climate >> 📡 Statewide radar loop through 10 AM today (11/9) shows our two distinct snowmakers in progress.
The first one is the synoptic (aka "system") snow associated with a low that is moving east through southern Ohio. The counterclockwise flow around the low is shown over Metro Detroit as moisture interacts with decreasing temps, leading to this morning's snowfall.
Over the U.P. and Lake Michigan, the north winds are ushering in the coldest air of the season, which activates lake effect snow and transitions to the second portion of this snow event. Counties in the corner of southwest lower Michigan, northern Indiana and Illinois are set to receive a firehose of lake effect over the next 24-36 hrs, resulting in accumulations that could push one foot.
Portions of northern lower Michigan and the Saginaw Bay region are also set to receive lake effect snowfall through this evening, with amounts of 3-6 inches possible, with isolated higher amounts. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey
FROM Halfway Lake Cottages, LLC >> It’s a different view this morning! Still beautiful! #newberry #snowphotos

FROM TV6 & FOX UP >> FIRST ALERT: Higher snowfall is now expected for portions of Marquette and Alger counties. It comes in rounds of lake effect snow starting this evening and goes through Monday evening. Plan for moderate to heavy snow, hazardous roads, and limited visibility at times. Warnings could be issued. Another update with the latest changes comes this afternoon! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaFIRST ALERT: Higher snowfall is now expected for portions of Marquette and Alger counties.
