29 degrees this morning with just a light snow floatin around. I picked up about 4" or so of snow last night on my deck. I am not a happy camper this morning! "They" were calling for a "BLIZZARD" to start last night and all we got was a lousy 4"? It was`nt even windy. Just a normal winter night in Da Yoop! I think these weather guessers are all turning into snowflakes ( pun intended ). "They" are calling for a couple feet in the next couple of days tho…..I`ll just wait an see before I get myself all excited again and lose sleep.
As far as grooming goes…..we are in a wait an see pattern also. Just not enough snow on the ground to get the machines out yet. We would do more damage than good. Believe me, we are more than ready to get going, but with all the water and swamps we have to deal with we need more snow and colder weather. I`ll give ya`s another report tomorrow morning after I see if we get the 4-8" "they" are calling for for today.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Groomer Chris

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> High pressure will bring drier, sunnier weather back to the U.P. this weekend as temperatures finally return closer to normal with daytime highs in the 20s. A weak system will bring another round of light snow Sunday night into Monday, but high temperatures look to remain in the 20s for much of the next week. #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo#straitsareaHigh pressure will bring drier, sunnier weather back to the U.P. this weekend as temperatures finally return closer to normal with daytime highs in the 20s.

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 1/30/26 Minus 5 degrees this morning under a cloudy sky. No new snow in the last 24 hrs. but we do have about 3 feet of snow on the ground so no worries...LOL. Here`s whats been happening since my last report a couple days ago...... No bad news...the machines have been running beautifully....Mother Nature has been cooperating perfectly....and our trails are EXCELLENT!!!! The Falls trail #45, the Point trails #452 & #453 and the South trail #8 all fall into that catagory. The only blip on the radar is on the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 but it is only minor. Our section of trail #9 is still being plowed down from the Stump to the East branch of the Two Heart by the loggers. It is no big deal, just take trail #8 around instead of #9, just like the old days. Its a touch longer but you`re out there to enjoy the ride.....right? On the bright side, they are done up by Crisp Point but it will take us a couple trips to get that back in great shape. Where is everybody?? Its been awful slow around here. COME ON U.P., You are missing out!! LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Groomer Chris #paradise #newberry ... See MoreSee Less
