Traverse City Trail Report – 01/22
TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Grand Traverse Snowmobile Club – 01/22 We have finally received some snow with more snow in the forecast. I don’t think we received as much snow as Kalkaska and Gaylord but there should be plenty of snow for the trails. We will be resuming grooming and with the lake affect snow in the forecast we should have a decent weekend. I will do an update after I get a couple of reports from our groomers. But it looks like we have turned the corner and snow is in the forecast. <> TRAVERSE CITY AREA UPDATE via Ranch Rudolf – 01/22 1/22/21 Update <> Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> <> Area Reports: Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club on Facebook >>>> Blue Sky Rentals on Facebook >>>> Visit Grand Traverse Area Snowmobile Club Trail Report on MSA >>>> <> WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Feb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions. Colder Saturday, with a few flurries around again, and then, you guessed it, more snow chances going into early next week…though signals point toward a warming trend during this period as well. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyFeb 4, 2026, 3am…Nuisance flurries hang on today, but the clipper parade returns starting Thursday, with a reinforcing shot of arctic air Friday that will result in some travel impacts as temperatures fall from near freezing early to the teens by afternoon with more snow showers and blustery conditions.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> 2/3/26, 3am...A cooler day today with lingering north flow lake effect snow showers, especially near and west of Traverse City. Highs struggle to escape the teens. A quiet and warmer day Wednesday…before the next system approaches for Thursday, bringing a return of snow. Then, a more potent cold front looks to drop in early Friday, bringing much colder temperatures Friday afternoon and into the weekend. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey2/3/26, 3am...A cooler day today with lingering north flow lake effect snow showers, especially near and west of Traverse City.
