December 12, 2013 - 3:15 pm update - The snow continues to fall in the snow belts of Northern Lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. The Keweenaw Peninsula and portions of the Western U.P. are getting good amounts of snow and the groomers are out. Still early season conditions and some problematic areas. The Grand Marais area in the Eastern U.P. continues to get lake effect snow. Check the snow depth map to find out where the snow is.
The snow belts in Northern Lower Michigan have also picked up good snow in the last week. Good snow totals west of Gaylord and west of Cadillac - 18 inches this week at Caberfae Peaks - and in the Boardman Valley near Traverse City and also west of Traverse City in Benzie County. Groomers are out in Benzie County doing some packing and the Grand Traverse groomers are out doing some initial grooming work. It's been lake effect snow so the base will be thin and conditions will be early season. Don't expect a mid-winter ride. -- We'll keep you updated.
December 11, 2013 - 1:10 pm update - Most snow belt areas are getting lake effect snow in both the Upper Peninsula and Northern Lower Michigan. Highest snow totals are in the Western U.P. and the Keweenaw Peninsula and the Eastern U.P. between Grand Marais and Munising. Groomers are out in those areas and conditions are early season - poor to good. Northern Lower Michigan picked up a good amount of lake effect snow in the snow belt areas. Reports are that the Traverse City groomers will be making an initial run today. You can ride in Northern Lower Michigan, but remember it's all fluffy lake effect snow that's been falling, so the base will be thin and snow totals will vary widely from region to region. -- We'll keep you updated.
Best resource to follow the lake effect snow is the Radar Loop.
Check the Snow Depth Map for areas with the best snow.
