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 <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>
HAPPY NEW YEAR! NO NEW SNOW
No new snowfall over the last few days. Night before last we had a 3 to to 4 light inches fall so yesterday we sent both machines out for their first real run of the season. Conditions alternated between Poor to Fair as we crossed bands created by the lake-effect snow. The best we had measured was 4 inches of groomed trail base on a hard frozen ground. About 50 percent of what we panned did have rocks exposed, especially to the south of Buckhorn Road and west of Trail 7 north. Trail 417 and Trail 418 near AuTrain and west are un-groomable and very rocky. We do not want to overwork the very thin base and create “dirty snow” as trails will not hold up on sunny days for the rest of the season. With that said, grooming operations will be on hold until we see a substantial snowfall. The next 5 days do not look promising with sunny days in the 30’s. Weather forecast changes day by day so all we can do is hope for the best and continue the snow dances. For now we will continue to polish up the groomers and maybe update some of the electronic amenities in our 7130. Stay Tuned!
