Harbor Springs Trail Report – 03/08
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club – 3/8 The rain really took a toll on our trails this weekend. They are all ice, still a good base in some areas but others are down to dirt. If your planning on coming up to ride I’d keep driving north. There’s no snow in the forecast until the weekend. <> <> PETOSKEY AREA UPDATE via Petoskey Snowmobile and ORV Club >> Tonight's video... #petoskey #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> SNOW TIME!! WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow showers slowly confine to the Lake Michigan shoreline and the Whitefish Bay area tonight, with some additional accumulation potential. Looking ahead, most areas start dry with just some light lake effect snow. A clipper passes through Friday evening / overnight, opening the door for a sharply colder and snowier weekend. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberryLake effect snow showers slowly confine to the Lake Michigan shoreline and the Whitefish Bay area tonight, with some additional accumulation potential.

Several inches of snow is expected across parts of northwest lower and eastern upper Michigan, including the potential for localized amounts of 6-8” or more. Reduced visibility and hazardous travel will be possible for these areas into Thursday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLake effect snow will continue to ramp up this afternoon with heaviest banding expected later tonight into Thursday morning. Several inches of snow is expected across parts of northwest lower and eastern upper Michigan, including the potential for localized amounts of 6-8” or more. Reduced visibility and hazardous travel will be possible for these areas into Thursday. WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Northwest winds kick in later today, allowing for lake effect snow to return primarily for the areas drenched in shades of blue. A couple locations will pick up 1-3" or greater within the most intense bands. We are monitoring the Kalkaska county region the closest for potential upgrades, but this should be a good base forecast to get you through the end of the day on Thursday, December 11th. This forecast starts at 5 pm EST this evening when the advisories end for the system, while the lake effect bands begin coming on shore. A couple of squalls may produce blowing snow, reduced visibilities under half a mile, and a very miniscule chance for thundersnow. Areas without a color designation are not anticipated to benefit from the lake effect snow this time around. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating snow continues this morning as a system works across the state. An additional 1-2” is expected across northeast lower by early afternoon, resulting in slippery roads and reduced visibility for the morning commute. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAccumulating snow continues this morning as a system works across the state.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Another round of snow arrives late tonight, with several inches expected south of M-32 by Wednesday evening. Snow-covered roads will lead to slippery conditions, and gusty winds may create blowing snow at times. Hazardous travel is possible— in ice and snow, take it slow! #MIwx #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAnother round of snow arrives late tonight, with several inches expected south of M-32 by Wednesday evening.

A second round of snow is expected to arrive late tonight, bringing another several inches of snow for most areas south of M-32 by Wednesday evening.

This is for Friday night, AND Saturday, AND Sunday. Don't come at me Saturday morning and tell me I'm wrong. Read, please!
Lake effect kicks in after a weak clipper system Friday night into Saturday morning for those in the U.P. and Northern Lower. Lake effect goes most of Saturday in a west northwest wind.
Sunday, that wind is more north. That'll keep the lake effect coming off Lake Superior for the U.P., but confine it to the shoreline areas of the Lower Peninsula.
IT. WILL. BE. COLD. Therefore, we'll have some intense lake effect bands. Some of the smaller lake effect bands in between the bigger ones that develop won't make it very far inland in the cold, dry air. Highs on Saturday will be in the single digits in the West U.P. and 10s every where else. Wind chill will be sub-zero all day long.
Sunday will warm a tad, but still be cold and windy.
I'll post daily maps individually over the next 24hrs. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeySNOW TIME!!

Most of us got that quick burst of 1-2" (locally 3") earlier, and we're already onto the next system - later today!! Fast!
Notice we'll have a distinct rain/ snow line to the south.
Models have all come together nicely. That's a great thing because it lines up with my forecast quite nice. My snow map was posted earlier! Scroll my page!
Some areas are looking at up to 6"of snow.
Rain falling into cold snow pack roads will cause some very slick conditions. Dirt roads, I'm talking to you! You know this already, though haha.
Most treated roads to the south will be ok, though. Anywhere all snow all the time (north of I-96) will be very slow going!
Want a home with a fireplace and big windows to watch the snow!? (I dream of this) #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
