I thought I’d give you the most honest and accurate report from Baraga County Convention & Visitors Bureau. They are responsible for trail 14 to Arvon mtn. plus trails 15 and 159 this year. I have to day they do an awesome job with what snow they get in that area so come and enjoy their trails.

We haven’t seen the shoreline across the lake for days
We’re at -22F this morning
We got the goods here in Twin Lakes Mi
Trails should be mint but I think I’ll wait for some warmer temps to get after it
Have a wonderful day and stay warm

No doubt the forecast lived up to its insanity, with many locations getting over 40" of snow across the central Upper Peninsula, and 8-10 foot snow drifts to make things even more extreme. In terms of forecast verification, our forecast did hit the 80%+ accuracy threshold we strive for after each event. Our final verification was 83%, and most of the the misses were where the system shifted slightly south to give parts of the northern Lower Peninsula greater than 24", and parts of the western Upper Peninsula much less. Anything over 18" of snow is just "a lot" at this point anyways, so we aren't stressing too badly about the miss in the Lower Peninsula near the Mackinac Bridge. Lake effect zones in SW Michigan did verify, as text was featured under the forecast that a couple spots would see locally higher amounts.
Overall, this will be a storm we won't soon forget, which adds to the list of wild weather we've experienced in Michigan over the last two weeks. If you have any additional snowfall reports to add to the list that are not affected by drifting, drop them in the comments below here on X or Facebook. A new two-day record was also broken at the NWS office in Marquette of 36"+ with this blizzard, which is just one record smashed by this blizzard.
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
We dodged the bullet and only received 4 inches from the storm. However the winds created some major drifts so ride with caution ⚠️ It looks like a cold one today but another warm spell for a couple days but don't worry we still have a lot of snow.

Even though the Keweenaw did not receive anywhere near the forecasted amounts of snow, the wind has been crazy!
Ryan Bennet has been out riding the past several days and despite lower total accumulations than anticipated, he has had zero complaints! Checkout some of his photos! #keweenaw #miweather #snowphotos
