Harbor Springs Trail Report – 12/07

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club​ – 12/07

We got roughly 3” of snow yesterday with a few more coming today. We started panning on Thursday & depending on the night time temperatures will resume tonight or tomorrow night.

We are off to a great start for the season but please remember that it’s early season conditions, we don’t have enough snow to fill in all the ruts, cover all the rocks, and the water holes are still open and deep. Ride safe out there!

⚠️ Loggers have plowed trail 705, Moose Jaw Road, and part of 704, Teal road, so avoid these areas (See map below in red). If you’re traveling to Moose Jaw Junction you’ll want to take trail 71 straight to 704, & turn onto 721.

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> SNOW TIME! Posted (Jan 11 2pm).
A clipper system comes in Sunday with impacts lasting into Monday. This is SNOW POTENTIAL Sunday AND Monday. Don't come at me 9am Sunday morning and say "where's my snow." lol.
As you can see the effects of this will vary GREATLY depending on where you are in the state.
We go from up to 1" for most areas in the light blue to about 1-3" at best for most of the Lower Peninsula. The west side gets more because of a quick shot of lake effect with gusty winds and cold temperatures. The U.P. is the bread winner here with the center of the low pressure hanging out over Lake Superior for a bout 24hrs. That will cause more lift which we need for snow to develop along with more lake effect due to strong winds and VERY cold air. It'll be a fluffy snow that piles up rather quick.
Winds will be very strong as times with a lot of cold air pouring in by Monday morning. Expect some areas in West Michigan to have wind chills as cold as -5 with the Western U.P. having wind chills as cold as -20. BRR!
