Ontonagon Trail Report – 03/21
ONTONAGON AREA UPDATE via North Country Snowmobile Club UP – 03/21
The season is over. I was hopeful that we would get a storm before April 1st, but the forecast doesn’t look good for snow. We had a tough season with low snow, and break downs, but managed to groom about 10,000 miles.
A big thanks to groomer Greg Dye, Jason Pragacz, President Groomer Mikey Olsen, Mac and PJ, and Kristin. These are 6 people that wear many hats and do everything it takes to operate this club.
A huge thank you to the landowners, our sponsors, and members. We couldn’t do it without your support.

FROM US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan --> Winter conditions return late tonight with a wintry mix; followed by snow showers behind a cold front marching across the U.P. A mix of drizzle, freezing drizzle, and light snow could freeze on contact and make for slippery roads late tonight across the west half and north-central. The wintry mix is forecast to transition over to all snow by early Thanksgiving morning in the north-northwest wind lake effect snow belts. Snow amounts will be minimal – a couple inches or less through Thanksgiving night. The best chance for a few inches of snow is over western Alger and eastern Marquette Counties. ... #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #sooWinter conditions return late tonight with a wintry mix; followed by snow showers behind a cold front marching across the U.P.

FROM US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan --> Moderate to occasionally heavy lake effect snow and blowing snow will continue hazardous driving conditions into the morning commute for locations from Munising eastward. Snow and blustery northwest winds will gradually diminish later this afternoon into tonight over the eastern counties as high pressure slowly builds in from the west. Breezy, dry and warmer conditions will develop Tuesday into Wednesday ahead of the next approaching low pressure trough from the Plains. ... #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #sooModerate to occasionally heavy lake effect snow and blowing snow will continue hazardous driving conditions into the morning commute for locations from Munising eastward.

FROM US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan --> A strong cold front will bring a brief burst of heavy snow this afternoon, followed by lake effect snow showers developing in the northwest wind snow belts. Several inches are possible over the eastern U.P., as well as areas of blowing snow. This strong cold front will also bring gusty winds from the northwest this afternoon, with peak gusts up to 50 mph possible. These winds could lead to some minor wind damage and sporadic power outages, as well as beach erosion and lakeshore flooding, mainly east of Munising. ... #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo
How about the Gaylord area

FROM Western UP Trail Reports --> After hitting almost 40° today and melting most of our snow. It looks like maybe our first good snow is coming tonight. Other forecasts are saying not much of anything tonight but time will tell. I'll keep you all posted on how things are shaping up.
