The forecast for 1′ of fresh snow yesterday was slightly off…We ended up with a very stormy day that brought us 3-4′ of fresh snow. Conditions went from light snow falling to blustery and snowy with every passing hour. By afternoon visibility was minimal and roads were in bad shape. Temperatures started around 36 and were down to 19 by late in the day. Snow was blowing and drifting all over the place. Of course, this is a snowmobilers’ paradise. Paradise it is on our trails today. The groomers will hit the trails tonight. The wind and snow has dropped off but temperatures are cold-in the low teens. So dress for the bitter cold and have a great ride.

Winter Storm Warning Today thru tomorrow Noon. It’s definitely looking like a northern Michigan winter outside. The snow started this morning, along with the winds. Its very intense. Definitely not a day or night to be out driving on the highway. A great day if you don’t mind low visibility. Just had riders come thru that said it was awesome riding.

The roadways are icy, all the schools up here were closed this morning due to the freezing drizzle that covered everything in ice to begin with; and then the snow started in and now school closings are going up for tomorrow.

It just continues to give us fresh snow to keep improving the trails.
