Seney Trail Report – 03/13
SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association – 03/13 From the Groomer out doing trail 43 and 8 to the Bear Trap. Sleds should use extreme caution on the 450 roadside trail. As this is next to a road, it’s not maintained to the standards of a registered trail. So there are occasional low hanging branches and uneven trail in areas. The pinpoint. That is a driveway crossing that has snow pushed up in very tall banks. I didn’t think it would be a good idea for the machine to chop them down. So riders will encounter a spot where your riding along And the groomed trail disappears off the to road. This is because I bypassed this jump of a driveway crossing. Use caution all the way down 450. The side of 450 is in much better shape than trail 43 from Seney to Fox River Rd. These pics are along the side of Fox River Rd (450) <> Via Seney Snowmobile Association On Facebook >>>> <> Via Mater’s Stop -N- Go Gas Station On Facebook >>>> <> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Blizzard conditions persist today for central and eastern Upper Michigan, while snowfall lessens in the west.

Highest storm total snow expected in the central and east. Greatest potential for 4 feet is the high terrain of north-central. Strong winds and heavy snowfall rates will result in a long duration of blizzard conditions. Widespread impacts: dangerous to impossible travel, power outages, prolonged recovery time.

SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association >> Seney to Trail 9 and 440 hit tonight and Trail 43 to Bear Trap. South 43 also was hit. Here are a couple pics of Trail 431... #seney #newberry #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> One of the most absurd snow forecasts we’ve ever made here at MSC, we’ve had to add an impromptu orange color for higher totals. WEATHER UPDATE via Pictured Rocks Marine Weather Conditions >> Here are a couple probability maps for the snow and ice potential through the full duration of this upcoming spring storm (through 8am on Tuesday). It’s not often that we get to show 90% probabilities of getting 1.5 feet of snow, but that will be the case for much of our region. And the potential for significant icing has started to inch more into the far eastern UP, so we’ll need to keep an eye on that as well. I’ll provide some final updates tomorrow morning before the first impacts start to roll in. In the meantime, enjoy your “day off” from all this whacky spring weather! ⛄️💨🥶 #miweather #munising #seney #newberry #soo #petoskey #gaylord This content isn't available right now <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>
Currently doing the side of 450 All the way into town. As the lower half of 43 is getting really really bad. Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
Blizzard Warnings have moved South to include Leelanau, Emmet, Cheboygan, Southeastn Chippewa, Mackinac Island/Bois Blanc, Beaver Island. Ice Storm Warnings have moved South to include Wexford, Missaukee, Oscoda, Alcona and Alpena Counties. Winter Weather Advisories now include Clare, Osceola Counties.
The warm line is farther South keeping higher totals North. Winds continue to pick up along with the snow tonight.
We will be live at 11pm for the latest! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey 
Key Notes:
•Snow begins to work into Michigan late tonight, but becomes more widespread during the early morning hours of Sunday. This snow continues through Tuesday morning for the UP, and becomes a snow/freezing rain/sleet mix for northern lower Michigan beginning Sunday afternoon/evening.
•Winds will gust between 40-60mph statewide both on Sunday and Monday.
•This will be a full on blizzard for much of the Upper Peninsula
•Expect scattered power outages across the state
•Travel will be near impossible for the UP and northern lower
Snow totals will be between one and four FEET when all is said and done on Tuesday in the UP. Further south, a mix is expected which will keep accumulations lower, and also will provide a sharp cutoff of accumulations. The difference between a foot of snow and 2” may be the width of one county.
Further south, this system will end as snow for lower Michigan on Monday & Tuesday, which is why we have a wide area within a trace to an inch, and western lower in a 1-3” zone with wording of higher totals possible. We may need to adjust totals here as new data comes clearer for Tuesday.
Stay tuned for the icing portion of this forecast. Northern lower Michigan will see significant icing which is not shown or communicated in this forecast graphic or write up. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyOne of the most absurd snow forecasts we’ve ever made here at MSC, we’ve had to add an impromptu orange color for higher totals.
