Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/05
March 5, 2021
27 degrees this morning under a clear blue sky. The last couple of days have been the same so no new snow.
I always hate this time of year to announce this but I think its time. Unless something really strange happens……we are done grooming 🙁. A couple of the guys have gone out the last couple of days and said its a waste of time and energy, plus its beatin up the equipment. All our trails are hard and icey and flat.
Don`t get me wrong, there is good ridin to be had for this weekend if you`re thinking about coming UP for one last ride but the temps are supposed to get up into the 40`s and 50`s by Sunday and Monday. This will toast our trails that are already thin. Off trail ridin should still be good for another week or so though.
Mannnn…….we are bummed. We can usually groom thru March. Ole Man Winter sure was an A$$ this season. We only got one good month outa him!
Unless something crazy happens this will be my last report on the trails. I`ll jump on here from time to time and let ya`ll know about any brushing parties we are planning for next fall or give you any important news you may want to know.
Take care and God Bless. See ya`ll next fall.
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
Monday - Saturday: Open 9:00- 5:00 PM #grandmarais #newberry #snowphotosGot snow? Yep, we do!

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.
