Grand Marais Trail Report – 03/16
GRAND MARAIS UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. – 03/16 Due to the warm temperatures we did not groom last night and will not be grooming tonight. The trail into town is poor. We recommend trailering. Grooming will resume as soon as the temperatures drop, which looks like sometime early tomorrow. <> <> Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. on Facebook >>>> <> FROM Trails End Lodging >> Looking for something fun to do this weekend?

Been plowing since 3:30 a.m. schools delayed and its just a mess out here!! But it sure is beautiful!! #eckerman #newberry #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A fast-moving system this evening through tonight brings 4 to 8 inches of snowfall to the area. Most snow will fall within a 6 hour period with moderate to heavy snow rates (0.5 to 1+ inch per hour) and quickly reduced visibilities down to 1/4 mile or less for a 2 to 4 hour period. Snow will end overnight into early Monday morning. The Monday morning commute could be impacted, especially in the east, mainly for roads that have not been treated/cleared yet.

30 degrees this morning and cloudy. Been a touch on the warm side the last couple days and it looks like it will stay that way till the weekend. Doesn`t help us much....especially in our wet areas! We cannot open the gates on the Falls trail #45 yet and our infamous swamp south of town is nasty and those gates remain closed. Further south of town we had a spot open up more on the power line and in the Federal forest section of trail #8 we had a big spot open up. You can get by these spots but you have to be careful. The rest of trail #8 south is beautiful! We ran the Point trails #452 & #453 yesterday and they turned out great. We also ran the Stump trail #8 and thats all good except where the loggers have it plowed down.
Sorry I haven`t been on here much but we`ve been very busy trying to get the trails in shape. We`ll keep at it but the weather hasn`t been too much help! Keep checking back and I`ll try to keep ya`ll updated. The weather looks like it will change back to normal by next week. We should be able to hold on but the wet areas will be a problem.
LET `ER SNOW...............and get cold again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Late Monday night into Tuesday brings a wintry mix which could create more slick road conditions. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea
8:58 I was seriously contemplating my career choices on the way in after two nights ago, and after 9.9 miles in I can report were back to life is good out here!, not bad at all! AND just lost signal from a rock station not particularly fond of, checked back to 93.9 Lions are gone, back to oldies 😊
Keep you posted.
9:41 It is a blast watching the bad disappear when you get this thing dialed in, starting to snow pretty good, hear rumors of another CycloneBomb in and out quick tonight, never heard of one and I may experience two, nice.
Headed into Windy Corners.
11:10pm In and out of Windy Corners, all the lights are out there, perfect againc😊 Pine Stump Holland Lake bound, should/praying 🙏 I get both ways to myself, just makes it much more easy to make the trail one unit.
Keep you posted. But we're going to be at incredible again soon! 😁
(Well, you know, another 10-12 hrs.)
Fact there's a very fine line between everything clicking off perfectly, and profanity! 🫢
Starting the inches per hour stuff.❄️❄️
12:30 At Seney intersection, not sure if they've been through but it looks nice that way. Probably 2" fine powdery new down now. #newberry #snowphotos
A little warm up coming but with all this snow it will just settle it up some
If you can sneak out for a mid week trip it would be a great time!!! #newberry #snowphotos
