KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Snowmobile Club >> 12/01
December 1st! Much like many clubs across the UP, we’re dealing with a large amount of downed trees and branches hanging over our trails. Please be patient as we clean up and open things gradually.
Conditions to Note:
🌉 Portage Lake Lift Bridge crossing is not open, and won’t open until the Coast Guard closes the shipping lane.
⚠Gates will remain closed on private property until trails can be opened.
🛑 Trail 130 between Eagle Harbor and Eagle River due to logging, can access both towns via their trail spurs until logging completes.
🛑 Trail 124 between Trail 3 at Vansville junction and the 122/124 intersection due to logging. Please respect this closure and stay out of this area so we don’t risk permanent trail closures.
🛑 Trail 133 closed until at least 12/15 due to hunting.
Early season conditions exist across the system, water spots, rocks, trees down, etc.
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Potentially historic, record-breaking snowfall between 1 and 3 feet expected across all of Upper Michigan. Highest storm total snow expected in the central and east. Greatest potential for 4 feet is the high terrain of north-central. Strong winds and heavy snowfall rates will result in a long duration of blizzard conditions. Widespread impacts: dangerous to impossible travel, power outages, prolonged recovery time.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> One of the most absurd snow forecasts we’ve ever made here at MSC, we’ve had to add an impromptu orange color for higher totals. Key Notes: •Snow begins to work into Michigan late tonight, but becomes more widespread during the early morning hours of Sunday. This snow continues through Tuesday morning for the UP, and becomes a snow/freezing rain/sleet mix for northern lower Michigan beginning Sunday afternoon/evening. •Winds will gust between 40-60mph statewide both on Sunday and Monday. •This will be a full on blizzard for much of the Upper Peninsula •Expect scattered power outages across the state •Travel will be near impossible for the UP and northern lower Snow totals will be between one and four FEET when all is said and done on Tuesday in the UP. Further south, a mix is expected which will keep accumulations lower, and also will provide a sharp cutoff of accumulations. The difference between a foot of snow and 2” may be the width of one county. Further south, this system will end as snow for lower Michigan on Monday & Tuesday, which is why we have a wide area within a trace to an inch, and western lower in a 1-3” zone with wording of higher totals possible. We may need to adjust totals here as new data comes clearer for Tuesday. Stay tuned for the icing portion of this forecast. Northern lower Michigan will see significant icing which is not shown or communicated in this forecast graphic or write up. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskeyOne of the most absurd snow forecasts we’ve ever made here at MSC, we’ve had to add an impromptu orange color for higher totals.
