Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 03/04
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 3/04 W🤩W! It’s been a great weekend in the Keweenaw! The blue sky has been beautiful, but the warm temps and sun have definitely taken a toll on the road crossings and parking lots. We have one more day of warm temps before some fresh snowfall is forecasted! Trails have held up remarkably well despite the heavy traffic and warm temps. 👏 Groomer operators are really working their magic! Last night we went up to Calumet to watch the start of the CopperDog, dog sled races. It was cool to see how big of an event it is. Today we got up and did a 70 mile loop. The 1st half of the trip the trails were great. Toivola➡️trail 3➡️trail 13➡️ Greenland➡️Pat’s Motorsports. Once we left Pat’s at about 11am, trail 3 heading back towards Toivola, was probably one of the worst sections of 20 miles of trails… Literally awful moguls for 20 miles. I know it’s end of the season and warm weather, and that had a lot to do with the moguls, but once we got back to the trail 3 trail 13 split, they smoothed back out. Gotta say Lori Sleeman and David Sleeman did a great job last night grooming their section of trail. This is our last trip of the season. Can’t wait for next season already. Haven’t checked the total miles yet for the season but once I check, I’ll post it.” Thanks so much for sharing Tony! We are so glad you enjoyed your trip! <> <> <> <> Keweenaw Trail Reports on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A quick batch of snowfall is expected tonight into Wednesday as a clipper system tracks to the south.

Tony Geffers shared his photos from riding and said, “Had a great time in the Copper Country with Regina this weekend. Friday we got up early and headed up to Copper Harbor and did 155 miles. We were 1st on the trail all the way up there. Didn’t start seeing any other sleds until about halfway back. Trails were some of the best I’ve seen all season! North of the bridge is where it’s at! On our way back we stopped by Wildlife Refuge Cabins and got to hang out a little with our friends Robert Henderson and Laura Lorali Henderson. We got to see Rob do a little hillclimb and sidehill. Went to lunch with them and had some great conversations and laughs. 1902 Tap and Grill was a great place for lunch. Super nice and friendly along with great food.

Most of us got that quick burst of 1-2" (locally 3") earlier, and we're already onto the next system - later today!! Fast!
Notice we'll have a distinct rain/ snow line to the south.
Models have all come together nicely. That's a great thing because it lines up with my forecast quite nice. My snow map was posted earlier! Scroll my page!
Some areas are looking at up to 6"of snow.
Rain falling into cold snow pack roads will cause some very slick conditions. Dirt roads, I'm talking to you! You know this already, though haha.
Most treated roads to the south will be ok, though. Anywhere all snow all the time (north of I-96) will be very slow going!
Want a home with a fireplace and big windows to watch the snow!? (I dream of this) #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
This is late Tuesday thru Wednesday AM only. Repeat that. 😅
About 1-2 inches could fall Tuesday AM before this second system moves in.
There will be some rain mixed in to the south. Please note that'll make back dirt roads quite slick for those folks.
Temperatures stay in the 20s further north, so it'll be a lighter, fluffy snow.
Roads Wednesday AM won't be fun.
This is followed by cold and some lake effect! More slick roads possible with that. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traverscity #petoskeySnow time!!
