Harbor Springs Trail Report – 02/15
HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club – 02/15
It’s starting to look a little like winter again! We got 3-4 inches of snow today but are going to need a lot more to get our season going again. It looks like we are in for another 1-3” by Saturday morning but then by Tuesday the temps will be back in the high 30’s.
All gates will remain closed until we get rideable snow.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Here is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.
Uncertainty exists primarily in our trace-1" category which extends from Frankfort and Alpena south to I-96/I-69. The clipper moving through today may produce a quick squall of rain & snow with minimal accumulation some time beyond 1 pm EST, but models haven't determined if this band will solidify or not. If it does, the chance for a rain/snow mix exists in areas highlighted in the pink dashed box. This rain/snow mix would only be today. Any snow on Sunday will be lake effect off of Lake Superior, hence why our highest totals of 4-8" are located east of Munising over to Paradise. Not too impactful of a system in terms of Michigander standards, but do take it slow if you encounter any snow squalls and/or visibly slick roads. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyHere is our last call for ongoing system snow and lake effect snow from now through Sunday evening at 6 pm EST, December 20th & 21st, 2025.

A snow squall. Maybe that’s what we had going on in Wakefield today. It was nuts!
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Light snow will spread across parts of the area today, most widespread across eastern upper Michigan. Lake effect snows develop tonight, again most persistent in the snow belts north of the Mighty Mac. Gusty south to southwest winds today will result in some patchy blowing and drifting snow. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLight snow will spread across parts of the area today, most widespread across eastern upper Michigan.

HARBOR SPRINGS AREA UPDATE via Harbor Springs Snowmobile Club >> We’ve lost a lot of snow over the last few days, on Tuesday we started out with 15” in Carp Lake, 11” in Stutsmanville & 9” in Southern Harbor Springs. Today we are sitting at about 5” in Carp Lake, 4” in Stutsmanville and Southern Harbor Springs.
Reports are saying that the grade still has rideable snow other than in front of the Pellston Airport & most of the areas in the woods held snow but the water holes are opened back up. Grooming is paused until we receive more snow. #harborsprings #petoskey
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Combination of falling temperatures, increasingly gusty winds, and accumulating lake enhanced snow showers will create hazardous travel across parts of the area today. Local power outages due to the gusty winds are possible. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyCombination of falling temperatures, increasingly gusty winds, and accumulating lake enhanced snow showers will create hazardous travel across parts of the area today.
