Munising Area Trail Report – 01/07
MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA >> 01/07 Trail Report Posted – https://www.algersorva.com/snowmobile-trail-report/ Please Support our Sponsors – https://www.algersorva.com/sponsors/ <> <> MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> 01/07 A picture says a thousand words! Thank you Steve, Dean, and Brandon for getting your hands dirty with this 3 day repair marathon! Of course all of the parts didn’t come in for the front axle pivot, but we had enough parts to get us by until we get another window for a proper repair. With temps hovering in the low 30’s and the trail holding up amazingly well, we will probably hold off grooming until the temperature drops Friday. That will give us time to recover from working our normal jobs all day and putting in even more hours in the shop. I couldn’t be prouder of our team for doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done! Ride right and ride safe! <> <> <> REGIONAL TRAIL REPORTS Visit Alger County SORVA Facebook Page >>>> <> Visit Alger County SORVA Trail Report >>>> <> Visit TNT Trenary Northern Trails Facebook Page >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> A strengthening Clipper low brings a 2-to-6-hour period of moderate to heavy snowfall to the UP today, with the greatest snow totals in the east.

With wind gusts of up to 30 mph, falling and blowing snow can cause low visibility and tough road conditions! Widespread snow gives way to WNW wind lake effect snow, providing additional 1-3 inches of snow Tuesday night to the Keweenaw and the north half of the eastern UP. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #sooWinter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories are in effect Tuesday for widespread accumulating snowfall.

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> Still getting more snow! Lots of pictures from last night run. Drifting will make the trail rough in the open areas today. New soft snow will still take some grooms to hold up, but another snow system tomorrow will reset everything. Riding will still be good, but trail will get rough late in the day. Ride right and ride safe! #munising #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via TV6 & FOX UP >> FIRST ALERT: Our next round of widespread snow comes tomorrow! Lake enhanced snow is expected in the Eastern U.P. Plan on moderate to heavy intensities with poor visibility from strong winds. Watch the timeline in the link below. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaFIRST ALERT: Our next round of widespread snow comes tomorrow!

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> New snow made last nights run an adventure. Lots of drifting in the windy areas. Lots of cutting down banks in the corners. Working on transitions on road crossings. Followed by a quick nap and a few hours of maintenance to address a few little things and as always, find a couple more…. Nothing bad though. Groomer is back out right now knocking down the drifts again. Snow is processing good, but is not setting up solid. Will take a couple more grooms to get it where it will set up hard. High traffic volume and loose snow means expect some chop by the end of the day and beware of drifts in the open areas. Ride right and ride safe! #munising #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect snow continues through tonight, with the highest additional accumulations expected over the north-central and western UP. Gusty north winds will contribute to blowing snow and areas of very low visibility along M-28 between Marquette and Munising today, as well as parts of the Keweenaw. Lake effect finally tapers off Monday morning. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>

The only significant changes to the map shown since yesterday are the addition of a 6-12" zone to focus on the back-side lake effect snow through the end of the day on Wednesday that will bump up totals across the eastern Upper Peninsula, and a slight shift south of the 1-3" zone towards Kalamazoo and Ann Arbor. Besides a few wobbles, the 2-5" and 4-8" zones remain largely the same. The entire Upper Peninsula now has winter alerts issued for this incoming snow. Notice, we've added a dashed green line to denote that areas south of it will deal with greater uncertainty in higher snowfall totals due to daytime temperatures above 32°F, plus the presence of low-level dry air filtering into the state. There should still be enough time to give everyone a solid half inch across the state, but for those primarily south of I-94, that may be all.
For timing, truthfully, not everyone will see the peak of precipitation by the end of the day. The front will be taking its time as it crosses the state this morning and afternoon. Upper Peninsula west of Newberry, you'll see your snow beginning by noon. After the noon timeframe, it'll be everyone else across the state. Last to see the precipitation start today will be southeastern Michigan, where flurries/light rain may not start until after 10 pm EST. Remember, gusty winds are possible within this passing winter storm, and as such, travel will become difficult at times as visibility drops to under a half a mile within the highest snowfall rates. Travel with care, and make sure to turn on headlights AND taillights when driving in any snow squall. Snow will finish by noon Wednesday, but continue as lake effect for the Upper Peninsula through the end of Wednesday, as denoted by the circled yellow area.
