Paradise Area Trail Report – 12/01
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI – 12/01 12/1/24 I have a picnic table in my front yard and I can only see the top of it…..HOLY WAH!!! OK, ya`ll get the point. Is it wrong to say we maybe have too much all at once? I haven`t talked to da boss to see what his plan is yet but I`ll get with him. The snow is so deep we might have a hard time gettin the groomers thru it. The more riders that come UP the better to help us get things packed down….so…..come on UP!!!! You powder guys will have a BLAST. Please don`t go around the closed gates as there are swampy areas back in there and we don`t know how deep the water is yet. Our high ground trails will be epic tho!!! In case you don`t know, those are trails #452 & #453 and trail #8 out to Pine Stump. LET `ER SNOW……..but maybe give us a couple day break to catch up….LOL Groomer Chris <> <> Visit Paradise Area Night Riders on Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A quick batch of snowfall is expected tonight into Wednesday as a clipper system tracks to the south.

We found conditions to be mostly excellent this past week and even commented that it felt like riding much later in the season in many areas. Forgot to grab a pic but there was 20” of snow on the picnic table this morning.

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!!

16 degrees this morning with a light snow falling. We haven`t been gettin the snow some of the surrounding areas have. We have about a foot on the ground, plus or minus, depending on where your at and the ground is just starting to freeze, which is the biggest thing we need! It has been chilly and we have been gettin a little snow bout every day and it looks like it will stay that way....lets cross our fingers. Here`s the scoop on whats been happinin` out at da barn.....
After a problem free run last year with the machines we started out not so hot this year. When we fired them up this fall all 3 machines started to yell at us.....beeping and flashing codes all over the place....darn computers anyhow! We did get one machine to clear but the other 2 won`t. The tech is supposed to come out this week and check them out. This is one reason we haven`t been out other than settin the town trail. We still have a TON of water on the trails at this time also. The Falls trail #45, the south trail #8 (of course) and even sections of the Point trails #452 and #453. I did see a nasty rescue run with sleds stuck in a big water hole on the Falls trail....so don`t even think about going around the gates on that trail or the swamp trail south of town!!! By the looks of the weather forecast things should start to tighten up soon, just be patient.
I`ll start gettin on here more when we start making progress but for now we are in a holding pattern till we get the machines looked at and the water starts draining off.
