Overall Trails across our system remain Poor with dirty snow and rocky patches. We wish we had better news after 2 1/2 weeks of no snowfall but as of now we are still in a long waiting game. On the good side the ground is staying frozen so when we do get snow none will be lost. Forecast is calling for rain/snow Friday followed by snow Saturday and Sunday but only a few inches. Who knows, maybe we will get lucky and it changes to measurable amounts. For now Grooming Operations will remain on hold until we see a substantial amount of snowfall. While we wait the crew has continued doing upgrades on the club owned equipment and work around the shop. Please hope for the best, continue the snow dances and Stay Tuned for updates!Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
For anyone wondering why M 28 is still closed, here's how it's looking where the plowing stopped by the Alger County line 10 miles east of Marquette MI #marquette #munising #snowphotos
No doubt the forecast lived up to its insanity, with many locations getting over 40" of snow across the central Upper Peninsula, and 8-10 foot snow drifts to make things even more extreme. In terms of forecast verification, our forecast did hit the 80%+ accuracy threshold we strive for after each event. Our final verification was 83%, and most of the the misses were where the system shifted slightly south to give parts of the northern Lower Peninsula greater than 24", and parts of the western Upper Peninsula much less. Anything over 18" of snow is just "a lot" at this point anyways, so we aren't stressing too badly about the miss in the Lower Peninsula near the Mackinac Bridge. Lake effect zones in SW Michigan did verify, as text was featured under the forecast that a couple spots would see locally higher amounts.
Overall, this will be a storm we won't soon forget, which adds to the list of wild weather we've experienced in Michigan over the last two weeks. If you have any additional snowfall reports to add to the list that are not affected by drifting, drop them in the comments below here on X or Facebook. A new two-day record was also broken at the NWS office in Marquette of 36"+ with this blizzard, which is just one record smashed by this blizzard. 
32" was reported in Forest Lake at 7am and it's been snowing all day. Gusts are still up to 60mph in Munising as of 530pm.. #munising #munising0316 #snowphotosFrom Connor Lee Morrison in Munising! That's so much snow? Holy crap!
