Temperatures warmed up again here in Munising.  Snow in town and along the side of the roads is thin.

The Coalwood and Haywire section of Trail 8 are pretty bumpy.  The 419 connector going into Wetmore is bumpy, snirty, and some of the corners closer to town are icy and dirty.  Seems to be a little on the warm side for the groomers.  The groomed snowmobile trails are fair to good at this time with an 8 inch base.

There is still good riding on the forest and logging roads in the Hiawatha National Forest.  Good news is the weather forecast is calling for more lake effect snow this weekend.  Maybe 8+ inches of powder on the way.

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.
