A stretch of quieter weather follows this weekend into early next week, featuring partly sunny skies and temperatures moderating into the upper 30s and mid 40s. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberryLight snow chances linger today, mainly across eastern Upper Michigan, with highs in the mid to upper 30s to low 40s.

Expecting most locations to warm above freezing during the day and then fall below freezing overnight. Many locations in western and southern Upper Michigan may warm above 40 Friday and Saturday! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaWarm and mostly dry conditions are expected to finish the week.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> We know you'll pass by this post for snowfall today, but here on February 12th, 2026, it's quite a reflective moment to see just how far we have come this winter. Just a couple weeks ago it was lake effect snow every single day. Today, a light band of 1-3" near Munising is all we will need to write home about. We even tossed in some humor for those not in a designated snowfall zone. A couple slick spots will pop up along M-28 near Munising, and perhaps around Petoskey if a longer lake effect band happens to form, but this is more unlikely than likely. PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 2/12/26 WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> High pressure will gradually build into the region today and Thursday. This will slowly diminish lake effect snow showers from west to east. It will also help usher in a warm and mostly dry period. Most can expect above freezing temperatures during the day and below freezing temperatures overnight into at least early next week. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaHigh pressure will gradually build into the region today and Thursday.

I heard they’re not grooming after today but why is that? Suppose to get down to 23 degrees tomorrow night?

It was 9 degrees this morning when I got up at 0630, it is now 22 at 0800 and cloudy....weird weather! It is supposed to get up into the low 30`s today and drop into the low teens at night. "They" are watching for a "big storm" coming in for early next week but temps into the 30`s....weird weather. Nuff on that....lets get to the trails....
All trails were run yesterday and they are all in great shape. We will run almost around the clock all weekend to keep them that way for you. If the warmer days start to break up the ice in the low lands I`ll be sure to let ya`ll know, but for now we are in GREAT SHAPE!!!! Bout all I got to report.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 degrees this morning under a bright blue sky. I picked up about an inch of fluff on my deck last night. I`m sure ya`ll are seeing the weather forecast for the next couple weeks. It looks like the temps are gonna warm up into the 30`s during the day. We have at least 3' of snow on the ground in da woods but the warm temps are not gonna help our cause much. We should be fine for a while but the roads we use for connecting trails will start to thaw and turn muddy. I am already getting questions about it being worth the drive coming UP! For right now I am saying YES, plenty of snow in da woods and our trail system is in GREAT shape. I do predict our wet areas will start to open up and I`ll keep ya`ll informed on how that progresses. Our high ground trails....ie....mainly the Pine Stump trail #8 & #9 will hold up for a while. So......get yer bunnies UP here and get it while it lasts!!! All trails are good to go right now!!!!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Few snow flakes in the air
We have a ton of snow on the ground. Trails are excellent
This weekend will be Busy for sure.
Some warm temps coming in the 30s it looks like. Our snow won’t melt in a few days so don’t be thinking that
If town gets melted down and hard to navigate we have all kinds of parking out back. Trailer up for the day and go ride!! No overnight parking or long term parking
We have a few more weeks of winter left up here at least come enjoy it!! #newberry #snowphotos
