January 14, 2019 - 8:10 pm update: Looks like a good week ahead for snowmobiling in the snow belts of the Upper Peninsula. Mild weather at the beginning of the week will give way to a solid cold spell midweek that will last into the weekend and beyond. Some lake effect snow will kick in with the cold weather and heavier lake effect snow is expected for the weekend. Trails generally need more snow as of now, however, the lake effect snow during the week should get the trails in good shape going into the weekend.
Here's the Snow Depth Map to give you an idea of the areas with the best snow in the U.P.
Trails in Northern Lower Michigan are thin and icy and there has been limited grooming. The cold weather midweek should help firm up the trails. Some lake effect snow is in the forecast - however accumulations look to be a little on the light side. Trails should improve with even light snow, however, 5+ inches of fresh snow would get the trails in Northern Lower Michigan into good shape. Let's hope some surprise accumulation during the week. Trails are extremely icy, ride with caution.
