We did not groom anything else due to low traffic and warm weather. With the traffic over the weekend even though we had fresh snow the trails south are thin, The north trails are reported as good though. We did receive about 12 inches of fresh snow Saturday, It is currently 36 degrees and sunny. At this point unless there is a big change in conditions and traffic we are done grooming for the season. <> <> <> Visit Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association Trail Report <> Visit Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association on Facebook <> Visit Newberry Area Tourism Association on Facebook <> NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via North Store Follow Me Outfitters >> Nothing beats fresh snow ❄️ today, groomed trails, and that crisp Up North air — and North Store Outfitters is right in the heart of it all!

TASA isnt planning on grooming anymore unless something substantial happens.

Trail days are the best days. See you soon! ❄️🌲 #newberry #snowphotos 
Decent snow yesterday. Snowing hard this morning
This weekend should be great to ride and next week as well!
Don put the sleds away yet!! #newberry #snowphotos
21 degrees this morning and snowing. It was snowing and blowing most all day yesterday....I guess the weather guessers were right! Its hard to tell how much we got cause of the wind but I have a knee high drift on my deck and about 4" on the rails.....perfect!
As far as the trails go....I haven`t heard from any of the other guys yet on how their runs went yesterday but I ran the South trail #8 and I assume they all ran across the same conditions. My trail was hard as a rock. I could have used a Zamboni to do a better job! It groomed up just ok but I wasn`t able to dig out the bigger moguls. With this new snow we`ll be good, it`ll just take another day to whip them back to great shape. The good news is that the cold spell really helped freeze up the swamp solid again. It looks like this weather pattern, colder and snowy, will stick around for awhile too with just one day on the warmer side.
Soooo.....COME ON U.P. while the gettin is still good!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and a bull I saw on the way in headed west on the road, yooper stuff.
Its my goal to stay inside tonight, won't happen but happy thoughts till then, my buds at the Soo liked my Sox Sunday, shoulda wore these with them! #newberry #snowphotos
A big fat zero degrees this morning with a wind chill of -16 under a cloudy sky.....kinda cold out der. We are under a winter storm warning today. "They" are calling for 5-9".....hmmmm....we`ll see.
As always, Mondays are maintenance day so nothing was run but we`ll hit everything today. With this cold weather and if we get this snow we`ll be golden. I may have to break out that E word! All trails are in great shape now anyhow but a foot of snow would be perfect. I`ll let ya`s know how things go tomorrow.
COME ON U.P.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Discussion
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.
