Grand Marais Trail Report – 03/29
GRAND MARAIS UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. – 03/29 As the season comes to a close, we would like to thank all of you that came and supported our trail system and our town. This season had its share of difficulties. No matter the situation, you all were there with words of appreciation and support. This meant a lot to us here at GMST. P.S. we will not be grooming into the April 2nd extension as we groomed through all of our grant money. <> <> Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan --> Four days of heavy rain and snow brought record-breaking precipitation amounts across portions of Upper Michigan between April 29th and May 2nd.

Snow continues this morning, heaviest across the north central highlands. Snow will then quickly diminish this afternoon and will end most areas by late afternoon. Where the heaviest snow has fallen, travel will be very difficult this morning. Also, where snow has collected on trees, gusty winds this morning may still break tree limbs and cause additional power outages. With warmer weather ahead, melting snow will lead to water level rises on rivers and streams, creating the potential of more flooding... #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaHistoric late season snow storm ends today.

WEATHER UPDATE via TV6 & FOX UP --> RIGHT NOW: A wintry mix is moving through the western U.P. This will gradually transition to rain. Plan on more rain and thundershowers today. The full forecast is in the video below. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan --> A multi-hazard storm system has begun across Upper Michigan and will linger through Tuesday morning. Initially, expect rain and thunderstorms, but those will gradually transition to a wintry mix of sleet, rain, and snow from west to east today. That wintry mix will then become all snow across the west half of Upper Michigan by this evening with significant snow accumulations over the far western counties tonight. Across the east, the rain and thunderstorms will persist into tonight with winter precipitation not mixing in until after midnight... #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA multi-hazard storm system has begun across Upper Michigan and will linger through Tuesday morning.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan --> The warm and dry pattern will end on Saturday as the next system moves in bringing rain on Saturday and rain/snow on Sunday. The next days will melt more snow, continuing substantial water level rises on rivers, streams, and other low-lying areas. Near the lakeshores, there will be substantial variability in temperatures based on wind direction, but most locations will warm into the 60s and 70s the next few days. This weekend's weather could also impact the ongoing flood risks... #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaThe warm and dry pattern will end on Saturday as the next system moves in bringing rain on Saturday and rain/snow on Sunday.

We would like to give a shout out to all our businesses and the snowmobiling community. Whenever we needed help, be it financial or an extra hand, you responded. Thank you.
This season we were blessed with an incredible crew of drivers. They groomed 18,734 miles of trail. This included all of our original grant money as well as our supplemental grant money. Our youngest driver, Sam ended the year with 6000+ miles groomed. Groomer Al logged 3500 miles and groomer Todd had 3000+ miles. Six other drivers filled out the rest of the line up. You guys are ROCK STARS!!!!
Sincerely, the GMST boardPostings From Regional Pages On Facebook

The wet heavy snow made it.
Power is out in a good part of the area.
The big backup generator is going here so we have power. We will be open today as usual.
Here's a good powder day for everyone. Be careful there will be hazards on the trails drifts, potential low hanging trees or downed trees.
