WEATHER UPDATE via TV6 & FOX UP - WINTER STORM CHANGES: The track of the storm system has shift farther south. This changes the areas of highest impacts and snow amounts. We're starting off the day with snow/sleet across the eastern half of the U.P. Wind gusts will still be at times strong around 40 mph. This will still cause limited visibility near Lake Superior and some power outages. Snow accumulations will be lower with up to around 6.0" in the eastern counties. For the latest alerts click below. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan - Snow will end across the east today as the responsible system pulls away. Strong winds will also create areas of blowing snow and low visibility. If that wasn't enough, the combination of the wet snow this morning and the winds may result in some power outages. If you're out driving today, be prepared for quickly changing and potentially hazardous conditions... #MIWeather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #Seney #newberry #Soo #straitsareaSnow will end across the east today as the responsible system pulls away.

From there, precip transitions back to freezing rain and sleet before becoming all snow. Heavy wet snow and additional ice accumulation will be possible tonight and Thursday. Strong winds may also result in some power outages... #MIWeather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #Seney #newberry #Soo #straitsarea Craig Smith KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports - As of April 1st the trails will be open to all traffic. That includes all SxS, Orv's, Trucks, jeeps, and anything else with a motor. So if your planning on riding this weekend they are much slower and will be tearing up the snow. We ask that everyone stay off the trails when the snow has melted until the trails harden up.

Our snow “storm” sure didn’t pan out…. Keweenaw County only recorded 4.5 inches of fresh snowfall and a total of 305.5 inches for the season so far. There is definitely not a lack of snow though for those of us out enjoying the trails today!
Reid Berman has been up riding Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula for the past week and half 😳 and shared these photos from this morning. Reid said, “It’s pretty good out here, a few bumps, but they are minor. It has been good riding!”
Hope anyone that has the opportunity to ride today enjoys the day!
Riding home tonight from a delicious meal at the The Mariner North, after an absolutely perfect day of riding and experiencing this view as we rounded a corner was breathtaking! Most of the day was cloudy, windy and snowing, so this view was a surprise!
It’s hard to say it’s “over” when the trails are still in good condition and there is a ton of snow! Usually the end of the season comes with wet areas, bare spots on the trails and less than desirable overall conditions but we always “push through” and keep riding until the end! Today felt more like the end of February than the last day that the trails are officially open!
What a great season this was! A HUGE thank you to all of the private land owners, Keweenaw Snowmobile Club, groomer operators, service industry employees, lodging establishments, restaurants, bars and ALL businesses that make riding Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula a favorite destination for so many riders.
