MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> Still getting more snow! Lots of pictures from last night run. Drifting will make the trail rough in the open areas today. New soft snow will still take some grooms to hold up, but another snow system tomorrow will reset everything. Riding will still be good, but trail will get rough late in the day. Ride right and ride safe! #munising #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via TV6 & FOX UP >> FIRST ALERT: Our next round of widespread snow comes tomorrow! Lake enhanced snow is expected in the Eastern U.P. Plan on moderate to heavy intensities with poor visibility from strong winds. Watch the timeline in the link below. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaFIRST ALERT: Our next round of widespread snow comes tomorrow!

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via TNT Trenary Northern Trails >> New snow made last nights run an adventure. Lots of drifting in the windy areas. Lots of cutting down banks in the corners. Working on transitions on road crossings. Followed by a quick nap and a few hours of maintenance to address a few little things and as always, find a couple more…. Nothing bad though. Groomer is back out right now knocking down the drifts again. Snow is processing good, but is not setting up solid. Will take a couple more grooms to get it where it will set up hard. High traffic volume and loose snow means expect some chop by the end of the day and beware of drifts in the open areas. Ride right and ride safe! #munising #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Lake effect snow continues through tonight, with the highest additional accumulations expected over the north-central and western UP. Gusty north winds will contribute to blowing snow and areas of very low visibility along M-28 between Marquette and Munising today, as well as parts of the Keweenaw. Lake effect finally tapers off Monday morning. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Moderate lake enhanced snow will continue to impact mainly the Keweenaw and parts of the central U.P. today, where Winter Weather Advisories remain in place through 7 PM this evening.

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

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.
