3-8 inches of new snow this week
3-8″ of new snow seems to be the range we see. As usual, less south and east and more north and west. This weeks snowfall seems heaviest between Mancelona and Gaylord, NW of Grayling. Groomers will be running again, as required. Related Images:
Bright Spots and Brown Spots
Another slow weekend in Northern Michigan. Snow is a little thin on the ground, and some trails are too thin to groom. There were bright spots, though – our snowmobiling guests had a good weekend riding the lesser-used trails and riding off-trail in the Army land east of Grayling. Her …
Thin trails, light activity
It’s been a quiet week in Northern Michigan, in terms of weather, snowmobiling, and general activity. There was some traffic over last weekend and through MLK day, but not a large amount. That’s good for the trails, as the thin base would not withstand much heavy traffic on warm days. …
Snow and sunshine
Today was bright, sunny, and cold. Snowmobile traffic appeared fairly light, though we did see plenty of machines northwest of here on our way to Petoskey for Stuart’s swim meet. I took a few photos, including the lot of the bar at Starvation Lake. We saw maybe 20 snowmobiles here. …

Happy New Year, we hope winter starts again
We got a little snow today, and it’s been cold for the past two days. Snow is in the forecast for the next week, but we’ll need it to build a usable base back on the snowmobile and ski trails. Related Images:
Fog, Warm Weather
This morning’s fog was very thick and widespread, with temperatures up into the 40s. That’s the fog of melting snow. Snow on the ground is now just about non-existent in most of the northern lower peninsula. So, we had a lot of snow early this year, but now we’re waiting …
