CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Coyote Crossing Resort >> 12/08
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!
CADILLAC AREA UPDATE via Cadillac Winter Promotions >> We have decided to halt grooming operations until Sunday due to these cold temps. Our operators safety is #1. A lot of our trails have no cell service and if a tractor goes down it would be bad for our volunteers. The trails are in very good shape right now still. See you out there Sunday. #cadillac...

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Dangerous wind chills will be widespread today, especially this morning. Wind chills in the 20s below zero; some areas could feel as cold as -30F. This will be dangerous, as frostbite can develop in as little as 30 minutes on exposed skin. Limit time outdoors and dress in layers. Keep a winter weather survival kit in your vehicle in case you get stranded. Gusty northwest winds plus continued powdery lake effect snow will lead to significant reductions in visibility with whiteouts at times through this afternoon, especially in open areas where snow can easily blow around. Dangerous travel conditions are expected, and wind chills well below zero will be even more problematic if you end up stranded on the road. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskeyDangerous wind chills will be widespread today, especially this morning.
