Munising Area Trail Report – 12/06
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 12/06 Trail Report Posted. Trails are looking pretty good. Seeing nothing but smiles out there. Yesterday was a busy day for us. SAW meeting, 419 Frog Hollow Work, Thawing the 6175 ice block… water holes = drag becomes a solid ice block, groomer barn roof leak, and so much more. We have folks out riding the trails and giving us good feedback. Please feel free to post in the comments any comments or concerns. Brownstone Groomer Update – This groomer will be covering from AuTrain out to Marquette. We inherited this machine with the front blade ripped off and one of the front tracks destroyed. We have been working through the insurance claims process. We now have all of the needed parts and the work will begin this weekend. We pushed and tried all summer to get this done. We are not happy we were not able to get this done before snow but it has been outside of our control. Tomorrow morning we will be out in Newberry for the MISORVA BOD meeting. We are almost getting to the point where we can run regular scheduled runs. Traffic has been very light so far. We are expecting that to change this weekend and will be monitoring closely. Again, we welcome your feedback. Picture is the Frog Hollow swamp hole between Munising and Christmas. Nicely packed in and freezing up already. <> <> REGIONAL TRAIL REPORTS Visit Alger County SORVA Facebook Page >>>> <> Visit Alger County SORVA Trail Report >>>> <> Visit TNT Trenary Northern Trails Facebook Page >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Widespread "system" snow tapers off tonight and transitions to lake effect snow in the W to NW snowbelts Monday.

High Traffic in the area. Groomers are out there. Please ride with caution.
Sorry the report is so late. Passed out this morn before posting.
Had to catch up on sleep. Heading out in groomer now for the evening.
Should have some better pics tomorrow.
Please feel free to post pictures in the comments.
A picture speaks a lot more than words. #munising #snowphotos
A clipper system comes in Sunday with impacts lasting into Monday. This is SNOW POTENTIAL Sunday AND Monday. Don't come at me 9am Sunday morning and say "where's my snow." lol.
As you can see the effects of this will vary GREATLY depending on where you are in the state.
We go from up to 1" for most areas in the light blue to about 1-3" at best for most of the Lower Peninsula. The west side gets more because of a quick shot of lake effect with gusty winds and cold temperatures. The U.P. is the bread winner here with the center of the low pressure hanging out over Lake Superior for a bout 24hrs. That will cause more lift which we need for snow to develop along with more lake effect due to strong winds and VERY cold air. It'll be a fluffy snow that piles up rather quick.
Winds will be very strong as times with a lot of cold air pouring in by Monday morning. Expect some areas in West Michigan to have wind chills as cold as -5 with the Western U.P. having wind chills as cold as -20. BRR!
