Traverse City Trail Report – 02/05
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf – 02/05 A fresh 5-6 inches in the valley last night, snowing now-all groomers scheduled to run today and tomorrow. Lodging available 231-947-9529 <> TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Snowmobile Club – 02/05 It’s 10 AM Friday morning and we have received approximately 5 inches of snow. I just spoke to the groomer coordinator and he has confirmed that we will start grooming again this evening. Don’t know how this snow will affect the trails but we desperately needed it. I will try to do a report tomorrow after talking to the groomer drivers in the morning. Let’s hope it keeps snowing. <> TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Snowmobile Club – 02/03 Thursday Afternoon – Friday Evening Snow expected Thursday, 2/4, 1:00 PM through Saturday, 2/6, 12:00 AM EST. Could it be true? The trail system could really use a good snow storm. Groomers are currently on hold waiting for more snow… <> Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> Area Reports: Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> Visit Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club Trail Report on MSA >>>> <> TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club >> I know, I know, I'm late in reporting the trail conditions. Yes, the trails took a hit with the last warm up. But the good news is that we didn't receive the heavy rains as forecasted. We have a crusty, icey base still on the trails and we continue to get light flurries, but unfortunately, no accumulating snow. The trails are currently rated as poor. We need to survive this week's warmer temps and get a good dumping and we will be back in business. The GTASC groomer drivers will be ready when that time comes. Remember when you ride, Ride Right, Ride Safe, Ride Sober. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow showers linger today with highs in the 20s. Widespread light to moderate snow arrives Monday into Tuesday before temperatures moderate into the 30s and 40s midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLake effect snow showers linger today with highs in the 20s.

A snow squall. Maybe that’s what we had going on in Wakefield today. It was nuts! WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Light snow will spread across parts of the area today, most widespread across eastern upper Michigan. Lake effect snows develop tonight, again most persistent in the snow belts north of the Mighty Mac. Gusty south to southwest winds today will result in some patchy blowing and drifting snow. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLight snow will spread across parts of the area today, most widespread across eastern upper Michigan.

Uncertainty exists primarily in our trace-1" category which extends from Frankfort and Alpena south to I-96/I-69. The clipper moving through today may produce a quick squall of rain & snow with minimal accumulation some time beyond 1 pm EST, but models haven't determined if this band will solidify or not. If it does, the chance for a rain/snow mix exists in areas highlighted in the pink dashed box. This rain/snow mix would only be today. Any snow on Sunday will be lake effect off of Lake Superior, hence why our highest totals of 4-8" are located east of Munising over to Paradise. Not too impactful of a system in terms of Michigander standards, but do take it slow if you encounter any snow squalls and/or visibly slick roads. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyHere is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.
