Newberry Area Trail Report – 02/28
NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> 02/28 Think I’m in for a pretty spectacular ride! <> <> NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> 02/28 Starting to snow pretty good!!! <> <> NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via North Store Follow Me Outfitters >> 02/28 Mother Nature is not done yet… <> <> NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Pine Stump >> 02/27 I keep seeing all the posts about springs here and the snows all gone. Dont put your snowmobiles away yet ladies and gentlemen! There is a lot of snow on the trails still. The groomers weren’t out yesterday so the trails are bumpy. I’ve seen them a lot bumpier. I would guess the clubs will all be out tonight it’s supposed to get cold The videos are of trail 9 going north of pine stump towards trail 8, trail 8, and trail 9. The trail going north towards trail 8 is the best it’s been in years! 8 has plenty of snow and was bumpy but not terrible . Trail 9 going south has plenty of snow but was bumpier than trail 8 for sure. They should all get groomed up nice tonight and be ready for a good weekend! We are getting into early spring conditions. Towns will probably be a little challenging. We have a bunch of parking out back for anyone that needs it. Then you’re in the good snow! This weekend should be good and next weekend as well. We are prepping for the vintage show on the 15th. The first half of March should be good and I bet you can ride until the end of the month unless something crazy happens! <> <> <> <> Visit Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association Trail Report <> Visit Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association on Facebook <> Visit Newberry Area Tourism Association on Facebook <> NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> Did you miss us? WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect snow ends over the north-northwest wind snow belts today. A couple more fluffy inches and some blowing snow is still expected over the north central and eastern U.P. this morning. A quick hitting system looks to bring 1 to 4 fluffy inches of snowfall tonight through Saturday morning. West to northwest winds as high as 45 mph are expected to make a return over the Keweenaw on Saturday. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLake effect snow ends over the north-northwest wind snow belts today.

I went for a little spin this morning to see how things help up to our few warm daysPostings From Regional Pages On Facebook
We're Back!
We discussed our community 😊
Very pleased with what we're finding so far, lost some base, knew that, 10 miles out, 2 groups of 6 sleds from behind leaving town.
Squishing any water into the in the low spots into the snow, cool if you can go around and let them freeze up smooth, but now major damage at all and its been snowing since I left town. #newberry #snowphotos 
15 degrees this morning and snowing. We got just a light dusting last night. Yesterday was a night mare. I hit 43 degrees here and got about a 1/4 inch of rain. We lost quite a bit of snow. Looking out my window I would say I have just less than a foot left. We were off to a good start! The big thing I think people don`t realize is that the snow melt has to go somewhere. Our trail system has a lot of low country and guess where the water goes....right.....back into the swamps! This water then gets warmed a bit because of the rotting vegetation and there you have it.....more darn water holes on the trails!!!! This is the main reason we can`t get going as early as some of the other surrounding clubs do.
As far as our plans go.....It looks like the weather is gonna cool back down to normal for the next few days. We are gonna let things freeze back up and then Sunday we are gonna send 2 machines w/o drags down the Falls trail #45 and see what we got. Trails #452 & #453 around the Point are ridable but thin in areas, they are not groomed yet, just packed. Trail #8 to da Stump is groomed but it is thin in spots too. Trail #8 south is just packed and the gates into the Federal Forest section are closed because of water. Thats about it for now. This thaw really hurt our plans.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and stay cold

I flew into Pellston yesterday evening- there was heavier rain all the way south of M28- Seems North of there got spared the brunt of it… #paradise #newberry #snowphotos
We didn’t lose all our snow. It will be a pain getting in and out of towns. The snow will be set up hard
Their calling for a little snow everyday for the next few days
If we get some snow here and there we will be good for after Christmas
Everyone do the snow dance! #newberry #snowphotos
First off two of my guests rode 80 miles this morning from here to Brimley and then up the 8 to the closed Paradise gate and back, they were very happy with the trails so far.
I just returned from taking videos at multiple trail crossings in our area, also took a Pic out my truck window of the current conditions here at the Clarke and also driving down M28. Now with that said, some low areas in trails where slush and water stood yesterday may not be froze yet today, the temp is 13 degrees right now and the feels like is minus 4. So things changed quick, its currently snowing lightly now. #newberry #snowphotos
We will post more updates later!! #newberry #snowphotos
Here’s a current look at 1:10 pm in Windy Corners. Currently about 39 light rain and mist falling!
Temps will dip this evening with a return to snow! #newberry #snowphotos

As temperatures fall early Friday, moisture pools back in, mixed with colder air over the warmer lakes, turning on the lake effect machine for both of the Great Lakes that influence our normal lake effect zones. A respectable 1-3" to 2-5" is possible in the fairly typical areas shown on the map. The narrow lane of higher elevation across the Keweenaw Peninsula and Porcupine Mountains are most-likely to experience totals exceeding 6". You may have noticed our one main change was the expansion of T-1" over to the east side of the state just as a general precaution to any snow squalls that make it across the state. Not everyone will get a rogue snow squall, but it is in the odds for nearly everyone. A snow squall is a thin, but intense band of quick snow that can produce at least half an inch of snow in minutes time, while knocking visibility down from 10 miles, to a quarter mile in moments time. Additionally, a quick coating of snow may hide any ice that was able to form from the freeze later tonight. Lake effect snow and snow squalls are poised to start later this evening around 8 pm EST (earlier for the western UP), and run primarily through 1 pm EST Friday. A couple lake effect bands may last through 6 pm across northern Michigan near Gaylord, and the central UP near Munising.
Each area is never guaranteed the totals shown on the screen. This is why we call it a prediction. The totals that are shown however do have the greatest odds of occurring. Yes, we are still trying to find that crystal ball, but no luck to this point. Follow us here at Michigan Storm Chasers for forecast updates, and a little humor on the side, throughout the next few days, and as always, 365 days a year! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLake effect totals through Friday afternoon, December 19th, 2025 have been updated slightly to account for latest shifts in atmospheric conditions.
