Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 03/28

KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 03/28

It’s not over 😮 Photos from 3/28/21

Trent Seorum actually got out for a ride today after the small amount of fresh snow fell last night…. late season riding like this might not be be for everyone…. but Trent enjoyed his ride and shared these photos and a quick review of trails ….

“Got out for a ride after the dusting of snow last night. Left from Cliff Drive and headed north to Copper Harbor. I took Brockway on the way there and looped out towards High Rock on the way back taking trail 134 back to trail 3. Brockway and a good portion of the grade would be unrideable without the dusting of snow but where 134 splits off 3 toward high rock is flat and fast with the best snow of all trails ridden today.”

Thanks for sharing Trent!

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> This is our last call snowfall outlook for FRIDAY ONLY, January 16th, 2026. Snow has begun across parts of the UP, and will begin for the rest of the state over the course of the next 12 hours.... #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyThis is our last call snowfall outlook for FRIDAY ONLY, January 16th, 2026. Snow has begun across parts of the UP, and will begin for the rest of the state over the course of the next 12 hours.

A clipper will bring a mixture of synoptic snow and lake effect snow for the entirety of Michigan. This is the first of multiple clippers between now and Monday. Lake effect areas may see totals into the 4-8" zone, with localized heavier totals possible along the Porcupine Mountains in the western UP. We DO have ample moisture on our atmospheric profiles for tomorrow, but the forcing is still suspect, so a solid blanket of 1-4" of snow, with isolated higher totals close to half a foot should occur by the end of our day Friday. The greatest chance at an area underachieving is in... guess what... southeast Michigan. Monroe and Lenawee counties specifically were in the T-1" zone at first call, but with a more-moist profile expected tomorrow, all locations (in an ideal world) should at least hit 1". We are also watching for the development of freezing drizzle mixing in, primarily in the Lower Peninsula as low-level temperatures favor this phenomena. Now, drizzle would hinder totals, but significantly increase travel issues as roads get coated with both the drizzle and the wet snow. We will have a freezing drizzle accumulation map out tomorrow morning.

Winds gusting 25-35 mph at times, primarily out of the west. Some snow squalls will mix in, which for those who don't remember, snow squalls exist to only cause headaches. These narrow bands of snow drop visibility from open skies to mere feet in the matter of seconds, which is never good, especially on fast-moving roadways. A snow squall can put down as much as a quick inch in 15-30 minutes at their peak intensity. Both morning and evening commutes will be impacted by snow or drizzle. Let's hope we don't light up the MDOT drive map with 25 accidents this time around, so please take your time. Give yourself that extra hour to travel, especially in instances of forced slow downs.

Munising Area Trail Report – 03/20

MUNISING AREA UPDATE via Alger County SORVA – 03/20

TRAIL REPORT – Saturday, 03/20/2021 PREPARING FOR THE SNOW/ORV TRANSITION! Grooming operations have stopped. Continued warm and sunny weather has base snow disappearing fast with dirty snow, large bare sections, standing and flowing water and icy conditions. Some sections are very wet and slushy with deep water in areas. Those who are still trying to get some sled time in are off trail riding, many up in the Kingston Plains area. Friday we moved the last machine back to the barn. All 3 are tucked away waiting for their spring clean-up. Only 12 days now until the ORV season officially opens so stay tuned as we make the transition to summer trail work and playtime.
