IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority - ORV & Snowmobile Club - Jerry our VP/Trail boss made the decision, which was a rather easy one, to not groom tonight. We've seen 1-2" and now mixed precipitation. Not good folks. Let's hope the gods of the inland sea we call Lake Superior wake up and cough up the goods soon. Until then, do the #heikkilunta and send them snowy vibes our way! #sendsnow #Please

Does the tool box on the back of the trucker over heat the engine...block the air??
IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority - ORV & Snowmobile Club - We have 1/2-1" of snow as of 6am Cst. Yesterday's forecast had snow starting at 9am. We had additional trail feedback that the base is very thin to gone Ramsay Crossing to Wakefield, very poor. If riding before we get several inches between Bessemer & Wakefield please go slow, trails are very icy as snirt base in areas refuses to stay put. More details tonight! ... #ironwood #westernup #trailreportsWe have 1/2-1" of snow as of 6am Cst. Yesterday's forecast had snow starting at 9am.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan - Slow moving system will bring the region some snow today. It doesn't look like ‘the big one', but we should still get a few inches of wet snow. The best spots will be close to the WI/MI stateline and west of Marquette into the Michigamme Highlands. Places near the lakeshores could see some rain mix in with the snow. Tonight, light snow will continue.... #MIWeather #westernup #keweenaw #Marquette #munising #newberrySlow moving system will bring the region some snow today.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan - Light snow will move into Upper Michigan late tonight and there could be some freezing drizzle as well. Snow will continue through Friday and in terms of snow amounts, not much change from this morning's forecast with generally 1-3 inches for most areas. Less amounts will be possible over the Far East and Keweenaw and could have some locally higher amounts in the higher terrain of Marquette and Baraga Counties.... #keweenaw #westernup #MarquetteLight snow will move into Upper Michigan late tonight and there could be some freezing drizzle as well.

IRONWOOD / WESTERN U.P. UPDATE via Gogebic Range Trail Authority - ORV & Snowmobile Club - The snow forecasted to drill us tonight and tomorrow appears to be going south with 3-6" possible here now. Grooming schedule remains very conservative (the more we groom, the more we alter the snow making it less prone to holding a pack) but we did groom 160 Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. With fresh snow we will likely groom all Friday night. Live trail report coming soon. Pictured is Bald Mountain South vista on snowmobile trail 160.... #ironwood #westernup #snowphotos #trailreportsThe snow forecasted to drill us tonight and tomorrow appears to be going south with 3-6" possible here now.

Carful coming down the backside of the mountain on your way to trail 3 in WI. Trails are patchy with lots of areas of exposed dirt and grass. If you’re going to ride, hit the peak then turn around and come back down the Michigan side. Don’t continue the loop.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan - Unfortunately for snow-lovers, forecast snow amounts for this week's storm are trending down. Light snow is still expected to move in from the south late tonight and continue Friday, but it will be light and intermittent with only minimal accumulations expected. Additional lake-effect snow is likely in the north wind snow belts – particularly the higher elevations of Marquette County – Saturday and Saturday night... #MIWeather #westernup #keweenaw #Marquette #munising #newberryUnfortunately for snow-lovers, forecast snow amounts for this week's storm are trending down.

Unless there’s a huge turnaround, this winter could be the last straw for me. Sell all but one of my five machines and just fully switch everything to dirt toys. I have way too much time and money wrapped up into these flipping sleds to get 4 to 6 weeks a year out of them. I try not to get pissed about things that are out of my control but what a joke.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan - Above normal temperatures continues today with interior locations approaching 40 degrees for highs. But winter returns late tomorrow. By tomorrow evening, snow will be moving in. While this does not look like a big storm, it will be enough snow to make for difficult travel Thursday night and Friday morning over the western and central U.P.... #MIWeather #westernup #keweenaw #Marquette #munising #newberry #Soo
