WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> I'm going up north to the U.P of Michigan on Friday to chase a potentially significant lake effect snow event from late Saturday night through Tuesday. Snowfall accumulations could be 1-2', if not higher, as high-res model guidance comes in when we get closer.
Another lake-effect snow event is increasingly likely behind an arctic front next Wednesday night through Friday, which we will need to keep an eye on. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyI'm going up north to the U.P of Michigan on Friday to chase a potentially significant lake effect snow event from late Saturday night through Tuesday.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> In the spirit of Christmas, here's today's forecast for December 23rd, 2025 that really doesn't feel much like the holiday season. Let's discuss!
Temperatures are slow-going to rise, then suddenly as we reach the afternoon hours, temperatures snap into the mid-40's for much of the state. Many locations close to the MI/OH border may surpass 50°F. Further north, mid-30's are likely. Sunshine will be noticeable out there today, as partly cloudy skies are the main icon. Winds will increase beyond noon as well, gusting between 20-30 mph for most, with some isolated spots in northeast Michigan, and along Lake Superior gusting 30-40 mph. Winds will be out of the west, and more details on the wind will be posted next. A light round of mixed precipitation is possible overnight into Wednesday for the Sault Ste. Marie region.

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> I know, I know, I'm late in reporting the trail conditions. Yes, the trails took a hit with the last warm up. But the good news is that we didn't receive the heavy rains as forecasted. We have a crusty, icey base still on the trails and we continue to get light flurries, but unfortunately, no accumulating snow. The trails are currently rated as poor. We need to survive this week's warmer temps and get a good dumping and we will be back in business. The GTASC groomer drivers will be ready when that time comes. Remember when you ride, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober.
And when were able to ride, or your just out and about looking for family dining, serving breakfest, lunch and dinner, and pizza too. Please make sure you stop in at the Yankee Boy Restaurant for a bite to eat. When the snow returns, you can access them from the trail. Yankee Boy is a sponsor of the GTASC. Follow them on Facebook for their daily specials. Please support those businesses that support our sport. #traversecity #snowphotosI know, I know, I'm late in reporting the trail conditions.
