Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 12/08
As of 12/8/17, the Keweenaw Peninsula has 17″ of snow on the ground and has received a total of 62″ of snow for the season. Snowmobile trails from Twin Lakes to Copper Harbor are officially open but are in poor condition. The groomers are out opening trails and clearing hazards. Any trail usage should be done with extreme caution as there is low snow cover, rocks, stumps, branches, wet areas and hazards that have not been identified. The Portage lift Bridge will not be open for snowmobile traffic before December 16th. We will post when it is open. Trail 124 and 132W are temporarily closed for logging. Remember when you’re out on the trails to watch out for the groomers. They have the right away. <> Visit Keweenaw Convention & Visitors Bureau Website >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect snow showers are expected downwind of Lake Superior through Sunday, impacting the northwest wind snowbelt areas. This snow will be very susceptible to blowing in the wind, resulting in localized visibility reductions below 1 mile at times. Make sure to drive with your headlights on, at appropriate speeds, and with extra room between yourself and other vehicles! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaLake effect snow showers are expected downwind of Lake Superior through Sunday, impacting the northwest wind snowbelt areas.

Light snow will accompany the front but generally less than an inch is expected. Behind the front temperatures will fall into the single digits above and below zero. This combined with gusty winds will bring wind chills down into the teens and twenties below zero. A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect for Gogebic and Iron counties tonight through Saturday morning. Lake effect snow will develop behind the front in the northwest wind snowbelts with several inches expected. Those headed outside tonight or traveling should be prepared for bitter cold and snow (in the northwest wind snowbelts). #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea <> <> Visit TheKeweenaw.com Website >>>> <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>Latest Postings On Facebook
