23 degrees this morning and partly cloudy. We haven`t had any new snow in a couple weeks now but its been pretty cold day and night so the trails have been holding up pretty well. We haven`t groomed anything since last Saturday but all the people I`ve talked to are saying the trails are great! They are hard and icey but totally flat. I`m sure all you weather geeks have seen we are in for a "big" snow storm coming in Thursday night till Saturday morning. "They" are saying 6-13" from what I’ve seen. I`ll believe it when I see it tho.
Soooo…..if you`re thinking about coming UP for one last ride this weekend, I say go for it!!! I think you`ll have a blast and if we get just a few inches of snow you won`t have any cooling issues. It looks like next week we are gonna warm up into the upper 30`s to low 40`s, but what do I know, I ain`t no weatherman.
Just thought I would jump on here to give ya`ll a heads up. You just might be able to squeak in one more weekend in this crappy, and super short, winter season this year.
NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> Happy Opening Day everyone. We do have snow in the area. Reports are about 10 inches. The last couple of days temps have been just above freezing but that will help set up a good base. Trails are still under restricted use as we enter mussel loading season. December 15th is when all restrictions in the area are lifted. The gates at the trail head are going to remain closed until we get some more snow. That section of trail goes through some wet land that hasn't yet froze over. The same for the gates on trial 45. If you want to come up and give it a go we would suggest trailering a bit north of town to either the Silvercreek trail head, Pine Stump, or the trail head north of that. Please go slow and watch for hazards on the trail. Ride Safe and Ride Right #newberryHappy Opening Day everyone. We do have snow in the area. Reports are about 10 inches.
