BENZIE – MANISTEE AREA UPDATE via Benzie Manistee Snowbirds >> 03/19 Good news everyone, the recent snow storm has gifted us lots of snow.

Be careful and safe out there during your spring ride. <> BENZIE AREA UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> 03/18 The Benzie County Road Commission has been sharing updates on plowing the roads. Follow them if you’re in that area. Here’s their full post on plowing updates: Good morning Benzie! We are through the worst of it. I’m incredibly proud of our team here. Everyone put in a 16–19 hour day on Monday and 12–15 hours on Tuesday. No matter how frustrating things got (it wasn’t just personal vehicles that couldn’t make it down roads), everyone stepped up and kept pushing forward. We truly have something special here. We aren’t done yet, today is a massive clean up and widening everything back out. Tomorrow will be loaders, skip loaders, and the graders turn. Storm totals (Thursday–Tuesday) in Honor, MI – 26.5″ All of that came with rain and winds up to 50 mph. Season total for Honor, MI as of March 18th, 2026 – 153.25″ Figured this would be a fun time to share some pictures. If anyone has photos from Snowmageddon, drop them in the comments below!
