Traverse City Trail Report – 01/22
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Snowmobile Club – 01/22 We have finally received some snow with more snow in the forecast. I don’t think we received as much snow as Kalkaska and Gaylord but there should be plenty of snow for the trails. We will be resuming grooming and with the lake affect snow in the forecast we should have a decent weekend. I will do an update after I get a couple of reports from our groomers. But it looks like we have turned the corner and snow is in the forecast. <> TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf – 01/22 1/22/21 Update <> Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> Area Reports: Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> Blue Sky Rentals on Facebook >>>> Visit Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club Trail Report on MSA >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Snow tapers this evening, leaving drizzle and freezing drizzle across eastern upper Michigan, which could lead to a glaze of ice. For northern lower, areas of drizzle will transition to a band of rain showers later tonight, perhaps ending as some snow showers / flurries. Calmer but cooler weather ahead the next couple days before the next batch of light wintry precipitation arrives Tuesday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeySnow tapers this evening, leaving drizzle and freezing drizzle across eastern upper Michigan, which could lead to a glaze of ice.

TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Sled Solutions >> Winter is holding on, I think this weekend will be good so get after it in Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club trails. If you don't mind a little chop coverage is good. Grooming isn't an option due to the temps but fun non the less. #traversecity #snowphotos Road last night plenty of snow but definitely bumpy in spots still had a blast WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A rain/snow mix will depart later this morning, potentially opening the door for some clearing clouds later this afternoon with highs ranging from the upper 30s across the eastern U.P. to the upper 40s/low 50s for those south of M-72. Another round of rain/snow mix is expected later Saturday into Sunday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA rain/snow mix will depart later this morning, potentially opening the door for some clearing clouds later this afternoon with highs ranging from the upper 30s across the eastern U.P. to the upper 40s/low 50s for those south of M-72.
