Drive Slow on Ice and Snow! #906wx #miwx WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> The end of November and beginning of December have been quite snowy! Thanks to our colleagues at the Grand Rapids office for putting this map and post together. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaThe warm Great Lakes and cold atmosphere teamed up for a week after Thanksgiving to deliver heaps of lake effect snow. New snow measured daily amounted to over 4 feet in parts of Northern Michigan. Some places saw 1 to 2 feet of snow fall in a day. Usually, lake effect snow is rather fluffy, but even so, this amount of snow up north settled into a good 2-foot base of snowpack. In southwest Michigan, mainly southwest of Grand Rapids, snow totals were around 1 to 2 feet, though a fair amount of it would settle and melt into the ground days later. Less than 6 inches of snow was more typical in Mid and Southeast Michigan. GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> GMSTA trail boss Al here, we will not be grooming for the next couple days due to rain and warm temperatures. I've talked with a couple of snowmobilers earlier today and they said trails were holding up fairly decent. We hope the weather turns cold this coming week so we can get out and prep the trails for the upcoming weekend. Please be aware that there are several water holes throughout the trail system. Please try to avoid running through them as that will only delay us getting the trails back into riding shape. We ask for patience and understanding as we deal with typical Michigan weather. #grandmarais #newberry SENEY AREA UPDATE via Mater's Stop -N- Go Gas Station >> Winter is here, it’s been a very busy day here at the store. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Light to moderate wet snow is expected today, with the greatest amounts expected in eastern Upper Michigan. Before precipitation ends, snow could change to freezing rain or rain. This may result in a glaze of ice developing on untreated surfaces. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLight to moderate wet snow is expected today, with the greatest amounts expected in eastern Upper Michigan.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A system approaching overnight will bring around a half inch of snow to the south and west with up to 4 inches possible in the north and east. While overnight lows will mainly be in the teens, Saturday warms up to the mid 30s, bringing with some rain, snow, freezing rain, and sleet, though accumulations of ice and sleet will be light. Some gusty winds up to 30 mph are possible over the Keweenaw.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via North Store Follow Me Outfitters >> Welcome to Newberry, MI #newberry #snowphotos Thank you for sharing Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association >> Trail 431 update a couple of small water holes by Trail 9. Rest of the trail is grooming out real nice. Do not use the swamp trail out of Seney it’s not frozen. Use the trail along M-77 for now. That is trail 440. It still has some uneven areas we are trying to get it level so use caution on that. Trails are starting to take great shape. #seney #newberry #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A band of snow will press into the Keweenaw this morning. This will result in hazardous driving conditions for this morning's commute. Make sure to take it slow and drive with your headlights on! This band will weaken as it continues south, reaching the eastern U.P. late this afternoon/evening. Behind the band, more lake effect snow builds in before more widespread precipitation presses into the region Saturday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaA band of snow will press into the Keweenaw this morning.
