Paradise Area Trail Report – 03/05
March 5, 2023 36 degrees this morning at 0930 and partly cloudy. I see we might get an inch or two of snow tomorrow and then get sunny for the rest of the week…..not good. We endured sunny skies and 40 degree temps this weekend and the trails held up pretty good but they can`t take much more. Here`s a run down from what the guys told me from yesterdays runs…… Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trail #8 and called it good. Groomer Glenn hit the Point trails #452 & #453 and called them good. Groomer Scott ran the Falls trail #45 and called that good also. I ran the South trail #8 and will call that good too except for the swamp south of town. There is hardly no snow left in there but it is still froze in solid. There is also a lot of standing water on top of the trail…..just kinda ugly. We plan on runnin everything again today just to clean up from the weekend and then see what the weather brings. Sad to say, but it doesn`t look good what with the forecast being sunny all week. If you didn`t come UP for this weekend you might have missed out on your best chance….but I hope I`m wrong. Keep an eye on the weather and keep checking back, I`ll keep you informed.

10:02 PM 10.4 to second stop sign, so far it all looks like the curve there, all of it, think I learned something in the Can Am earlier today. š¤ #newberry #snowphotos

Looks like more snow again today. Plowed once and looks like Iāll be plowing tomorrow morning as well
I told people I thought we were going to have a big winter like 2014, itās sure looking that way half way through
If you havenāt been up here youāre truly missing out! #newberry #snowphotos
9 degrees this morning and snowing. I picked up 5-6" of fresh snow on my deck from last night and it looks like its supposed to snow for the next couple of days too!!!
Our entire system was groomed yesterday and there`s only one way to describe it......EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, those of you who follow me know I don`t use that word very often, but I ain`t kiddin, it doesn`t get any better than this. The swamp south of town, the Falls trail, ALL of our low land trails are better than I`ve seen in a long time!!!!!
If you don`t have plans on gettin U.P. here.....make `em. It won`t last forever.
Thats all I have to report.....one word.....EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winds will gust 30-40mph at times blowing around new slow and fluffy snow already on the ground. Expect ground blizzards at times (wind driven, brief, white outs). #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsare #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAdditional snowfall Tuesday, Jan 27th!

9 o'clock
Second stop sign out, 10.3 tonight
I can tell you there are nights now and then I'd like to go out back there and have a discussion with our little drag about what we're supposed to be doing with a Ball Pean hammer, thank your Ribbons for that.
So far, very little wear and tear, get to focus on improving, not repairing, and the drag and I are now getting along, keep you posted.
Oh, we're at 100% for getting outta the way so far! š„° Thank You!
11:04pm. In and outta North Store Wolf Inn, took the time to cut a limb up, on the exit end, and a leaning tree at the exit on I75 there crossing back to the Windy Corners intersection that have been bugging us awhile. That trail Report is I love when it turns out like it did, and we can do that for them. š
Turned right towards Holland Lake, this section seems to be where my phone jams up, it is after 11 on a Monday , as I said earlier, 9 was pretty nice when we arrived, even better when we leave, I'm just going to make tracks for a hunk of time now, turn up the radio, become one with Tucker, don't fret š
Meant to tell you, snowing pretty good now and winds have kicked up, drifting, getting interesting. #newberry #snowphotos

Our west winds kick up to the 30-40 mph range later tonight. Prior to that happening, a northwest wind will batter some lake effect areas with an additional 1-3" this afternoon, with pockets of 4"+ possible. As we move into Tuesday, a widespread blanket of 2-5", with pockets of 4-8" will overtake the Lake Michigan shoreline, eastern UP, and Keweenaw Peninsula. Temperature difference between water and air, plus adequate lift will fuel lake effect all the way through Wednesday morning. Additionally, we have a clipper moving through on Tuesday that will bring isolated pockets of 1-3" to the east side. Most locations should still be beneath an inch, however, too many variables are in play to not mention it.
Travel will be impacted along and west of US-131, with minor travel impacts all the way over to the US-127 corridor (I-75 north of Grayling). The clipper will be swinging through with the initial push of gusty winds after midnight tonight through 10 am Tuesday morning. Again, this will be for totals starting at noon today, and lasting through 8 am EST Wednesday, with most of the snow falling throughout the entire day Tuesday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLake effect snow continues today, stops, then resumes in intensity overnight into Tuesday, January 26th and 27th, 2026.
