WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Extremely cold temperatures and wind chills continue today into Saturday morning while lake effect snow continues over the NW wind snowbelts. Frostbite can occur in less than 10 minutes on exposed skin in this weather. In addition, visibilities could tank to 1/2 mile or less in the NW wind lake effect, with near-blizzard conditions still possible in the Keweenaw. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea
GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> With the dangerously low temps, high winds, and poor visibility no groomers went out last night. These conditions will continue at least thru the early afternoon hours today. We will be sending out groomers today during daylight hours on the south route and north route, staying away from the lakeshore. We are hoping to groom the other two routes as soon as possible. #grandmarais #newberry
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 1/23/26
NEGATIVE 2 degrees this morning and snowing. We picked up around 6" of snow yesterday and another 6 or so last night! It`s down right winter out der! All good news for yesterdays happenings so lets rock-n-roll.....
Groomer Mike C. took off in the morning and headed into da south swamp with just a machine. I took off with a machine and drag and headed south also but skipped the swamp section. Before I got done with the South trail #8, Mike radioed me and said hit the swamp with the drag on my way back. He got it packed in pretty good and it turned out good with the drag. It is only one lane for now but we`ll fix that tomorrow. THE GATES ARE NOW OPEN!!!!
After that Groomer Mike C. headed out on the Falls trail #45 with just the machine and Groomer Glenn pulling a drag following him. They got that trail packed in and groomed, it turned out great!!! Groomer Mike C. put in 12 hrs. in a machine yesterday filling and packing in water holes! Great job!!!
Today we are running the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 and the Point trails #452 & #453. Not sure what we are gonna do with the other machine.
So......total green flag for our entire trail system!!!! COME ON UP and enjoy our hard work!!!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11 degrees this morning and snowing. I got a solid 3" on my deck from last night too! Just giving you a quick update before I head out da door to go grooming. I`ve got all good news so lets go.......
Groomers Mike C. and Glenn worked on our down machine all day yesterday and think they have it fixed! Seems to have been a sensor issue...darn electronics anywho. I am taking her out today and running the South trail #8. While I`m doing that, Groomer Mike C. is gonna go into the south swamp and see if he can get it packed in enough to send me thru with the drag on my way back! If all goes well we`ll have at least one lane groomed thru there and we can open the gates!!! When he gets done in there he will hit the Falls trail #45.
Groomer Keith hit the Pine Stump trails #8 & #9 yesterday and rated them as good.
More good news.....Groomer Patrick ran the Point trails #452 & #453 and rated them as good to go. The water holes on the North section are froze in now!!!
So.....everythings good to go in PANR land!! Thank you Mother Nature!!!! COME ON UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
