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.

Good morning everyone!
Last night, temps got just below 30 so all 3 of our machines were out doing what they could. The Pisten Bully was out twice, doing both routes in the Bay Mills/Brimley/Raco areas.
Jay was out on 8 from the Soo to Brimley, and did an extended run to also do part of the city trails.
Kinross east which is 472 and part of 480 to where the Bully picks up were also done.
The entire city trails will be done tonight.
I’m awaiting word on the plan for trail 49. Our operator that was scheduled to go this morning was not able to go out, so we are making plans to make sure it gets done.
Bill sent us these pics from his run on part of 480, 8, and the 889 loop this morning. Looks awesome!!
Every operator said trails were rough from the combination of warm temps, rain Friday, and high traffic. Hopefully they set up decent overnight, and are much better this morning with the exception of 49. I’ll update on that as soon as I can, but it will likely be rough today. Sorry guys😔
Thanks all! Ride safe! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0222b #snowphotos
Groomer Jay is making it an extra long run tonight. He’s finishing up on trail 8, and he’s going to run part of the city trails too it sounds like. Kenny did get trail 8 from Raco to Brimley done tonight, too, so 8 has been done in its entirety on our section from the Soo all the way to Ranger Rd. in Raco.
As Jay says in the video, the work in the ditch along 6 mile in Brimley is done, but with the recent warm temps and one machine still down, we cannot risk getting this machine stuck. We need to assess it on sleds first. We know the road riding is a pain, and we’ll do what we can as soon as we can.
Please check out the The Cozy Corners Barbeau MI page for more details about all of the fun for a great cause this coming Saturday. Let’s have a great turn out for Collin, and have some fun too!
Thank you Jay and Kenny for your runs tonight!
Cold temps are finally here, and that will help us get things back into shape everywhere. Have fun tomorrow! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0222 #snowphotos
Good afternoon all! I am back from my trip in the western Yoop. Our crew has been doing a great job while I was away, despite the tricky weather. While the freezing rain and temps in the mid 30s yesterday were not at all what we needed, we’ll be out doing what we can when it makes sense to do so.
Turbo and Diane were out VERY early this morning, and here’s their report from their run-
“We got up early this morning and started grooming trails 480, 8, and 889 at 3:30. Warren couldn't get out to do trail 8 into Brimley as the temperature was too warm. He texted me at midnight and said the Pisten Bully was all mine. So we checked out the weather, and saw that we had a window starting around 3 so we got out as soon as the temperature started to drop. We had to pick our poison. Either have a little bit of snow balling up or chatter. We think it worked out well because on our way back through, as the temperature was dropping, it was setting up nice. Slightly balled up in areas but the smooth part was like a skating rink. You can see in the picture how shiny it is. Have a great day everyone. Remember, ride right and stay safe.”
Thank you guys! We appreciate your efforts in less than ideal conditions!
Remember, we are on Groomer Tracker. Subscribe to see the latest on where our operators have been. Jay and I are scheduled to run 8 between the Soo and Brimley tonight, as long as conditions allow. Looks like we get a break from the warm temps beginning Sunday🤞
Ride safe, ride right, ride sober! ❄️❄️❄️ #soo #soo0221 #snowphotos
