CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort – 12/07

Trails are pretty good!
Trails are pretty good! Conditions: Good!

Conditions – Good

Base – 1-3

Snow last 24 hrs- 1

Hello – Several of our tractors went out grooming yesterday. Most of the system got hit once before the warm-up comes early this week. I groomed Trail 37 north to Boon and then south to Trail 35. Overall conditions were mostly Good and better after getting some chatter worked out. Crossing fingers that warm up is short and we don’t lose this good start to the season 🤞. My son reported things to be really good between Boon and Mesick .. He said conditions were a little thin around Brethren , but I’ve heard Northwest towards Thompsonville had plenty of snow. Please remember this is early season riding and things aren’t perfect out there.

THINK SNOW ! Pete

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Timing post!!
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

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Snow time!!
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!!

CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> Frigid Temps
Trail Condition: Decent; Base: 2″; Base is holding up, but we need more snow. 4-8″ expected this week, which would be a great help! Only grooming as needed right now. Per usual, roads are plowed down to very thin and ice. Last night’s below zero temps made things extremely firm with little lubrication, but with more snow and normal winter temps coming, that should improve!
