Newberry Trail Report – 12/27
NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association – 12/27 Welcome back! The gates are open! There is about 6 inches locally around Newberry and maybe a tad more North. The groomers went out yesterday afternoon with only the tractor to push aside brush hazards. We will go out tomorrow morning to pan it down. It is snowing currently and 2-4 inches expected with possible higher accumulations further north toward Lake Superior. There is not much snow South so they will not be heading that direction as of yet. There are still some ruts from the summer activities so we will try to pack the snow that is currently out there down and freeze it in. It will take a little more snow to fill in some areas. If you are going out for a ride PLEASE DO SO WITH CAUTION DUE TO THE CONDITIONS AND THE GROOMERS WILL BE OUT. PLEASE DON’T ASSUME YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES OUT RIGHT NOW. Your safety is our priority! Trial 45: We went north and pulled some snow into a few water spots and will let it freeze in and will go back North in a day or two. We have have been to the County Road 500 and to the swamp from both sides as far as we could go. Trial 9: We went North to the Pine Stump with the tractor only to push aside brush hazards and will go again tomorrow with the drag to pan it down. There is open water between M-123 and 3 Mile. It is about 50-70 feet long and 8-12" deep. It is passable though. Hopefully this will freeze up overnight. Looking into the early part of the week a couple of systems to roll through with snow possibly on Tuesday and Wednesday. Northstore: Gas and snacks and rentals. Sunday – Thursday 9am to 9pm. Friday and Saturday 9am to 11pm Pine Stump: Gas and Food. Take out or heated outdoor dining. 12pm to 8pm. USE CAUTION: Water hole between 123 north and 3 Mile Rd. Outside of Newberry Trail 9. Groomers will be panning today on the North Trail. There are 2 logging operations on our trails. Falls trail just north of Laurel Lake and trail #9 south trail near McLeod Rd. There is only 2 inches on south trail.

A big fat zero degrees this morning with a wind chill of -16 under a cloudy sky.....kinda cold out der. We are under a winter storm warning today. "They" are calling for 5-9".....hmmmm....we`ll see.
As always, Mondays are maintenance day so nothing was run but we`ll hit everything today. With this cold weather and if we get this snow we`ll be golden. I may have to break out that E word! All trails are in great shape now anyhow but a foot of snow would be perfect. I`ll let ya`s know how things go tomorrow.
COME ON U.P.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Discussion
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.
