Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 03/27
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western u.p. Trail Reports – 3/26 Started the day in Toivola with Harley Eakin and the Snowman and ran up to Ontonagon for lunch. Trail 12 was fine until we got to Greenland. From Pat’s Motorsports and a good 1/4 mile past was real thin. Lots of patches of no snow. From there into Ontonagon was awesome. Heading back down 137 was in very good shape yet. However when you make a left on to trail 13 there’s one hill coming into Rockland that is nothing but mud. All in all it was a great late season ride. Western UP Trail Reports Web Cam <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 3/26 Bluebird day in the Keweenaw!

Tom Murrin & Linda Dwyer spent the day riding north yesterday and today headed south.
Tom shared this video taken on their way to The Mosquito Inn for lunch and said, “Bluebird Sunday in the Kee! Had to ride a little bare asphalt and mud sections on Hancock side from M&M Arctic Cat dealership up the hill that section is still passable but not great. Actual trails not running through towns are great!”
Thanks for sharing Tom

The Keweenaw Peninsula continues to prove why it’s known as one of the snowiest places in the country — now sitting at 245 inches of snowfall this season, including 36 inches in just the last 7 days.
Not to be outdone, the Porcupine Mountains are having a fantastic winter as well, reaching 175 inches total with another 12 inches of fresh snow this past week.
Lake Superior is doing what Lake Superior does best… delivering deep snow, incredible riding conditions, and a true Upper Peninsula winter.
If you’ve been waiting for peak season — this is it.
👉 Trails are building base, fresh snow keeps coming, and the western U.P. is absolutely living up to its name as America’s premier snow destination. #ontonagon #westernup #keweenawUSA Today named America’s #1 snow destination is living up to its reputation ❄️🔥

The only significant changes to the map shown since yesterday are the addition of a 6-12" zone to focus on the back-side lake effect snow through the end of the day on Wednesday that will bump up totals across the eastern Upper Peninsula, and a slight shift south of the 1-3" zone towards Kalamazoo and Ann Arbor. Besides a few wobbles, the 2-5" and 4-8" zones remain largely the same. The entire Upper Peninsula now has winter alerts issued for this incoming snow. Notice, we've added a dashed green line to denote that areas south of it will deal with greater uncertainty in higher snowfall totals due to daytime temperatures above 32°F, plus the presence of low-level dry air filtering into the state. There should still be enough time to give everyone a solid half inch across the state, but for those primarily south of I-94, that may be all.
For timing, truthfully, not everyone will see the peak of precipitation by the end of the day. The front will be taking its time as it crosses the state this morning and afternoon. Upper Peninsula west of Newberry, you'll see your snow beginning by noon. After the noon timeframe, it'll be everyone else across the state. Last to see the precipitation start today will be southeastern Michigan, where flurries/light rain may not start until after 10 pm EST. Remember, gusty winds are possible within this passing winter storm, and as such, travel will become difficult at times as visibility drops to under a half a mile within the highest snowfall rates. Travel with care, and make sure to turn on headlights AND taillights when driving in any snow squall. Snow will finish by noon Wednesday, but continue as lake effect for the Upper Peninsula through the end of Wednesday, as denoted by the circled yellow area.

The Mercury snow gauge is working on 5 foot. In the past 5 days we've received 36 inches of snow and 7 more forecasted by tomorrow night. That puts Toivola at a total of 246 inches for the season.
