Just enough to make a perfect day for the show!!!!
The wind died down so hopefully it stays that way
Stay on the Trail!! Ride Right and Be Safe!! Please be respectful of private property, howbeit it fields or peoples front yards and remember when on roadways always ride on the right side! Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
We have alot of snow still. It will be setting up hard after the little bit of rain and drizzle we had yesterday
The temps look to cool down this weekend and next week
Winter is far from over. Come on up and have some fun! Parking out back for anyone that needs it! #newberry #snowphotos
Here on February 21st, 2026, most of the snow and freezing rain will continue across the western UP and northwestern LP. We will see a shift to more snow into central and southern Michigan by late this evening. Then on Sunday, snow should be on-and-off across the entire state, with an uptick in typical lake effect zones such as the spine of the western UP, and the entire Lake Michigan shoreline. Lake effect bands are very finicky, and are subject to microclimate wind shifts. It's very possible that a few locations in our 1-3" zone see 4-5" by the end of the day on Sunday. We will be monitoring radar for a dominant lake effect band that stretches across the peninsula. The increase of wind on Sunday morning may also reduce visibility on all roadways to under half a mile, so travel only as fast as conditions allow.
Bottom line, plan for some more of that "annoyance" snow. Not enough to be called a big storm, but enough to cover all side roads, and many of our main roads. Accumulation will be higher during the overnight hours when surface temperatures are NOT at or above 32°F for most of the state. This also means our chances at freezing drizzle are higher during the daylight hours. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyOkay, remember how we mentioned sneaky snow this weekend?

We fully expect to see your emoji reactions to this snowfall still-to-fall through the morning commute on Monday. Are you ready for winter to be over, or do you need this snow like there's no tomorrow?

31 degrees this morning and cloudy. Sorry for no trail report yesterday but I got real busy and the time just slipped by. These warmer nights are not helping our cause much but it looks like this will change soon. We have been dodging the rain unlike some of the surrounding areas have got so we are still ok.
All operators that ran yesterday are saying the same thing. All trails are still in good shape but the snow is soft and mushy. Our swampy areas are holding up for now. The base is a little thin in areas that the loggers had plowed down earlier this season though, but all in all we are in good shape. All trails will get run today/tonight.
Come on U.P. while the gettin is still good!!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Following my leader Chad up 9, don't have to be there till 11ish, time to cut some stuff in corners fill some holes, enjoy the ride, pretty cool way to watch it get light out on a Saturday Morning 🥰
Like our New thermometer?
Hand Crafted by Chad as well 😊 #newberry #snowphotos
Tracking more snow and colder temperatures into the weekend, breezy winds early next week, and another clipper mid next week.
Winds go more NW into this weekend bringing back some colder temperatures to support more snow. Better chances for the snow Saturday into N. Lower and the Tip of the Mitt. More lake effect snow chances for Sunday.
NW winds will become breezy Sunday into Monday. We also could have another clipper system to track next Tuesday into Wednesday. As of now, looking more like another snow/mix.
