Uncertainty in the track of the clipper system could impact snowfall amounts. At this time, the highest snowfall amounts are expected across WI up to the UP border counties. Light lake effect snow will linger for the N to NW wind snowbelts Wednesday. WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Timing post!! MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> All our gates are open as of today. We were able to pan from Rumley to 417 last night. We will be continuing our panning and freezing operations throughout the week and possibly weekend. Expect thin snow where panned and some exposed dirt spots. Plan for rough areas in wet spots as the ground is still wet when we go through and will take some snow and more passes to smooth out. Large wet areas west of 41 are expected to give us some trouble to start this season until we get them fixed next summer. Ride right and ride safe! #munising WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Snow time!! WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect lifts north into the eastern U.P. Monday afternoon. Monday night, a quick moving batch of snow will spread through the U.P. Not only will this bring the region quick widespread snow, but it will also result in an increased risk for 1 inch per hour rates, especially east of Manistique and Seney. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLake effect lifts north into the eastern U.P.

Most of us got that quick burst of 1-2" (locally 3") earlier, and we're already onto the next system - later today!! Fast!
Notice we'll have a distinct rain/ snow line to the south.
Models have all come together nicely. That's a great thing because it lines up with my forecast quite nice. My snow map was posted earlier! Scroll my page!
Some areas are looking at up to 6"of snow.
Rain falling into cold snow pack roads will cause some very slick conditions. Dirt roads, I'm talking to you! You know this already, though haha.
Most treated roads to the south will be ok, though. Anywhere all snow all the time (north of I-96) will be very slow going!
Want a home with a fireplace and big windows to watch the snow!? (I dream of this) #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
This is late Tuesday thru Wednesday AM only. Repeat that. 😅
About 1-2 inches could fall Tuesday AM before this second system moves in.
There will be some rain mixed in to the south. Please note that'll make back dirt roads quite slick for those folks.
Temperatures stay in the 20s further north, so it'll be a lighter, fluffy snow.
Roads Wednesday AM won't be fun.
This is followed by cold and some lake effect! More slick roads possible with that. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traverscity #petoskeySnow time!!

Here is a report with some pictures of what we are seeing.
We have completed down tree removal across the trail system.
Swamp in Shingleton on trail 8 is setting up pretty nice. We plan to get the drag thru there possibly tomorrow. So far the Prinoth Bison has tracked it in with no drag. Snow is still thin in areas. We have some serious rocks in spots that need a bit more snow. There is some great early season riding to be had.
You will come across rocks and open water. Very low traffic at this point.
Last night we had a groomer driver meeting. There was a good turnout. We wound up over at the Bears Den after and had a good time. Cant wait to hit that salad bar. Met some snowmobilers in there. Good bunch of guys. We ended up meeting them again later that evening at the Buckhorn. They had no complaints. Just out having a good time early season riding. Carbides and Hyfax are replaceable wear items for a reason they laughed.
A big thanks to Mike and John for the days of chain sawing and clearing. Mike, Daeton, John and Chad for helping out in the shop.
Every minute of your time is greatly appreciated.
We are in good shape going in to this season equipment wise. We are doing all we can to prevent breakdowns. Things are setting up for a great season. I will post comments with the pictures of where they are from. #munising #snowphotos
