Seney Trail Report – 12/22
Hey guys, Not much new to report as we have not yet groomed the trails but was just told that the plan is to groom 43 and 431 tomorrow (Saturday) morning!!! The boys did a water hole repair on Trail 8 with a detour further west all signed with caution so be prepared when riding this section of the trail until further notice. Swamp north of Seney on 431 is not passable. Alternate route along M77 is what we are using and has been panned. There is still quite a bit of water out there so please be careful, the boys have signed these areas the best they can so just be cautious as this is still December, early riding at its best!!! Will update you all ASAP after the boys return to the barn tomorrow. -Randy “Where Friends And Trails Meet” <> Via Seney Snowmobile Association On Facebook >>>> <> Via Mater’s Stop -N- Go Gas Station On Facebook >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Potentially historic, record-breaking snowfall between 1 and 3 feet expected across all of Upper Michigan. Highest storm total snow expected in the central and east. Greatest potential for 4 feet is the high terrain of north-central. Strong winds and heavy snowfall rates will result in a long duration of blizzard conditions. Widespread impacts: dangerous to impossible travel, power outages, prolonged recovery time.

SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association >> Seney to Trail 9 and 440 hit tonight and Trail 43 to Bear Trap. South 43 also was hit. Here are a couple pics of Trail 431... #seney #newberry #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> One of the most absurd snow forecasts we’ve ever made here at MSC, we’ve had to add an impromptu orange color for higher totals. WEATHER UPDATE via Pictured Rocks Marine Weather Conditions >> Here are a couple probability maps for the snow and ice potential through the full duration of this upcoming spring storm (through 8am on Tuesday). It’s not often that we get to show 90% probabilities of getting 1.5 feet of snow, but that will be the case for much of our region. And the potential for significant icing has started to inch more into the far eastern UP, so we’ll need to keep an eye on that as well. I’ll provide some final updates tomorrow morning before the first impacts start to roll in. In the meantime, enjoy your “day off” from all this whacky spring weather! ⛄️💨🥶 #miweather #munising #seney #newberry #soo #petoskey #gaylord This content isn't available right now SENEY AREA UPDATE via Seney Snowmobile Association >> Trails are still in great shape.

Snowfall amounts between 1 to 3 feet could be near 2-day records in some areas. Strong winds and heavy snowfall rates likely result in blizzard conditions. Widespread impacts: very difficult to impossible travel, power outages, significant recovery time. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo SENEY AREA UPDATE via Mater's Stop -N- Go Gas Station >> Holy snow.

Key Notes:
•Snow begins to work into Michigan late tonight, but becomes more widespread during the early morning hours of Sunday. This snow continues through Tuesday morning for the UP, and becomes a snow/freezing rain/sleet mix for northern lower Michigan beginning Sunday afternoon/evening.
•Winds will gust between 40-60mph statewide both on Sunday and Monday.
•This will be a full on blizzard for much of the Upper Peninsula
•Expect scattered power outages across the state
•Travel will be near impossible for the UP and northern lower
Snow totals will be between one and four FEET when all is said and done on Tuesday in the UP. Further south, a mix is expected which will keep accumulations lower, and also will provide a sharp cutoff of accumulations. The difference between a foot of snow and 2” may be the width of one county.
Further south, this system will end as snow for lower Michigan on Monday & Tuesday, which is why we have a wide area within a trace to an inch, and western lower in a 1-3” zone with wording of higher totals possible. We may need to adjust totals here as new data comes clearer for Tuesday.
Stay tuned for the icing portion of this forecast. Northern lower Michigan will see significant icing which is not shown or communicated in this forecast graphic or write up. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyOne of the most absurd snow forecasts we’ve ever made here at MSC, we’ve had to add an impromptu orange color for higher totals.
