TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club – 01/08
GTASC received 3-8 inches of lake effect snow depending where you are in the trail system. Groomer Jeff did the north run and reported some snirty areas and some good areas. Groomer Dirk ran the east run and reported the same. Thanks guys for volunteering your time. We need more snow but the trails are slowly shaping up. Remember, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober.

GTASC president Steve Haver and Paul Anderson spoke with TV 7&4 yesterday. See link below. We’re always looking for new members to help with keeping our trails great.
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Additional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas. Snow will continue to spread across the area, leading to 1-2" of wet accumulations for many south of the bridge before switching over rain. Strong winds are expected today with gusts to 40+ mph, potentially leading to more down trees and limbs from recent icing. Thunderstorms are also possible this afternoon. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskeyAdditional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm. This could lead to dangerous conditions for those without power or a safe source of heat. Looking ahead, it will be quieter Tuesday before another system brings the potential for another active wintry system for midweek. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskeyA cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm.

Does anyone have any information that would explain why Antrim County was excluded from the the governor’s State of Emergency? Are there any numbers showing ice accumulation for Antrim as compared to surrounding areas?
SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association >> 01/08
Here’s the current trail update so everyone knows. All our trails north of M-28 are in good to great shape. Trail 43 heading south is not currently being groomed due to loggers.
They are working down there and the road is being plowed from Seney to 10 Curves Rd. We haven’t been down there to get the current conditions.
We hear from riders It’s rideable but not great, the skis hit rocks and the road is ruff from the all the logging trucks.
Nothing we can do about that sorry folks. Trail 43 north of Seney has a couple water holes to contend with and we have detour signs up to avoid that area. Once it freezes in we will take the signs down and reopen that part of the trail. Trail 431 is in great shape. Trail 440 is in great shape. Trail 8 to the Bear Trap is in great shape. We do have 2 Park & Rides one is in Seney, and the other one is off M-77 north of Seney about 4 miles just past The Fox River. If you’re planing on coming up you are good to go.
We know there’s not much snow in the lower and taking a trip up here don’t seem to promising. But once you cross the bridge and you get about 5 miles south of M-28 you’ll see snow.
The snow gets deeper the further north of M-28 you go and the riding is good. If you have a trip planed come on up and enjoy it. Remember ride right and stay safe out there.
