Trail 8 Coalwood

The snowmobile trails around Munising are still looking pretty good after the warm up and ice yesterday.  We had some thawing along with some freezing rain and snow.  Then the temps dropped into the 20′s again and everything froze back up.

The groomed trails are a little bumpy but with the fresh snow we have falling now the groomers should be able to smooth them out today.  Another 1-3 inches of snow is in the forecast for today.

The snowmobile trails are still in very good shape here in Munising MI.  We have around an eight inch base on the groomed trails and two foot of powder in the woods.  The weather man is forecasting freezing rain, sleet, and snow in the next 24 hours.

Ice is starting to form on Munising Bay and a few ice shantys have already popped up on the ice.

Snyder Rebuffs Right to Work Talk

Detroit— Gov. Rick Snyder on Friday jumped into the simmering debate over right-to-work legislation with some strong words.

“I don’t want to see a bill on my desk,” the governor told The Detroit News, when asked whether he’d sign a bill if one were passed by the state Legislature.

Right-to-work is one of the top issues the Legislature is expected to take up this year. Supporters view the legislation as a way to protect Michiganians against compulsory union membership; opponents view it as a way to depress Michigan’s wages.

“Right-to-work is not on my agenda,” Snyder told a business leaders forum earlier Friday. “We have far more important things. How about this road issue?”

Snyder has discouraged lawmakers from taking up the labor issue, saying it’s too divisive and will distract lawmakers from the task of creating jobs.

Still snowing here in Munising and the temperatures have dropped to the single digits.  We have had another six inches of snow fall here in the last 24 hours and it’s still snowing.  Temperatures falling to -10F with wind chill readings down to  -25F tonight.

The groomed snowmobile trails around Munising and Alger County MI are in great condition with an eight inch base and fresh powder on top.  The forest roads in the Hiawatha National Forest offer fresh powder and unbroken trails.  Come on up and enjoy Munising.
