Grand Marais Trail Report – 03/16

Slick and hazardous travel conditions expected to continue across parts of the area. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Heavier snowfall has exited much of the U.P except for the Keweenaw where several inches of snowfall are expected overnight. The combination of blowing snow and snow will make travel very difficult in the Keweenaw. Elsewhere freezing drizzle and period of light snow will result in continued slick surfaces. Temperatures will warm above freezing for much of the U.P on Thursday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> Snowing good up here!! let's get it Cody Geister GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> The trails have been holding up very well with the recent warm up. Groomers were parked last night for the first time due to the the warm temps. Our current plan is to groom all 4 routes in the next 36 hrs. before the next warm up. This is all temperature/weather driven. #grandmarais #newberry CURTIS AREA UPDATE via Curtis Area Trail Association >> Current conditions WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Heavy, wet snow will continue across northern Michigan today into this evening, along with the potential for icing. Highest snowfall amounts of 4-8” are expected across the eastern U.P. and Tip of the Mitt, making for slippery roads and hazardous travel. Combination of heavy snow and gusty winds may lead to very low visibility across open areas this morning. Chances for icing across parts of the area will last into this evening with the potential for freezing drizzle after the heaviest precipitation ends. Be sure to use caution if traveling today! #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberryHeavy, wet snow will continue across northern Michigan today into this evening, along with the potential for icing.

Moderate to heavy snow is expected through much of the morning, save for the far southern UP, before transitioning to a wintry mix with freezing rain/drizzle this afternoon. Confidence remains low to medium regarding the spatial extent of freezing rain accumulation, however. Gusty winds and heavy wet snow may cause power outages in the Keweenaw. <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
No new snow overnight. The snow yesterday freshened things up really good
Their calling for 3-5 again tomorrow
This weekend and next week will be good. Temps look to hold in the 20’s #newberry #snowphotos
25 degrees this morning and its been very windy for the last 24 hrs. We did get some snow yesterday but its hard to tell how much cause of the wind. "They" are calling for a bunch more tomorrow too. It looks like our temps U.P. here will stay in the high 20`s to low 30`s for the next several days so we`ll still be in GREAT shape!
As far as the trails go we are in GREAT shape too. All 3 machines are running GREAT and we will be grooming almost around the clock for the weekend. You see the key word here?
So.......long story short......COME ON U.P.!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris #paradise #newberry

If you are, don’t forget to check conditions on the Mackinac Bridge before you travel.
Wherever the weekend takes you, ride right and ride safe. #newberry #snowphotos
If you planned on riding up here this weekend things should be great! #newberry #snowphotos
