WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Precip ends tonight, although fog remains with reduced visibility. Rain returns Thurs PM into Fri as temps moderate. However, icy secondary roads could develop, along with ice jams along rivers, and perhaps localized minor flooding. Next chance for snow is this weekend. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Freezing rain develops late tonight into Tuesday with up to 0.10” of ice accumulation possible across portions of northern lower Michigan, mainly near and south of M-72. Slick and potentially hazardous road conditions are expected Tuesday morning through the midday hours. Any freezing rain changes over to rain, or a rain/snow mix during the afternoon and evening hours. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
PETOSKEY AREA UPDATE via Petoskey Snowmobile and ORV Club >> Trail Report 1-5-2026 Groomer Josh on a run to Walloon. We got 6-8 inches of new snow last night hopefully it will help with the warm up. I'll let everyone know how we come out of it by Thursday night Friday morning. #petoskey #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via 9&10 News >> Another round of wintry weather Tuesday will deliver chances for mixed showers including freezing rain. The better timing for any ice will be Tuesday AM and south of M-32. Also watch for foggy conditions too.
Remember that 32° is the key temperature not only at the surface, but in the vertical. Any warmer and we trend more towards rain. Any colder and we trend more towards snow. Be mindful on bridges, overpasses, sidewalks, parking lots, etc. traveling Tuesday AM.
We do trend slightly warmer mid-late week. More 30s if not a few low 40s before another rain/snow mix returns late Thursday into the weekend.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> The Railroad grade & everything east of the Harbor Springs Groomer Barn/Trail Head was groomed last night. We have the Piston Bully headed out in the west side tonight.
We got roughly 6” of fresh snow last night followed by light rain and temperatures in the low 30’s throughout the day today. This weeks forecast is looking to be in the 30’s with a possibility of 40’s on Thursday, the rain/snow mix on Friday and back to snow and cold for the weekend.
‼️⚠️ TRAIL CLOSURE ⚠️‼️
Trail 7 (the railroad grade) will be closed from Trails End Road to Cadillac St in Mackinaw City starting today, Monday 1/5 for 3-5 days while soil testing is conducted. We will update everyone once that section re-opens. #harborsprings #petoskey #snowphotos
JORDAN VALLEY AREA UPDATE via Jordan Valley Trails Council >> Thank you to Kalkaska County Sand and Snow - KCSAS and Rick for contacting us when they heard of our breakdown. Within 24 hours of breakdown and recovery we had a track from the blade of the KCSAS machine to the blade of our machine!
Today the crew tackled putting the track on the machine and made quick work of it! Can’t thank our retired groomer/board member Doug for jumping into action to help out today! Mike, Phil, Doug, Benny, Rich, Pete and Tom were all hands on deck and we appreciate each of them and their efforts! The last 72 hours has been a great team effort by everyone that helped out. THANK YOU!
We’re monitoring the weather this week and will take grooming day by day until the end of the week. Looks like Thursday/Friday will be our worse days with temps at or near 40, but the crews are in order to get everything groomed for the weekend after temps drop back down. Trails right now are the best they have been for this time of year in many years!
Thank everyone for the kind words and support of our great volunteer’s and the hard work they have put in. Also thank you to the multiple people who have reached out or stopped by as we worked trailside asking if we needed a hand. #jordanvalley #petoskey #gaylord
Great work and doing it trail side too. Did it break or just jump off?
