Northern Michigan Snowmobile

Snowmobiling in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula

Snow Resources: Radar Loop | Snow Depth Map | Winter Storm Warning Map

February 12, 2026 – 5:45 pm update: – THURSDAY EVENING – The long stretch of great winter weather will be coming to an end this weekend with temps in the 30s and 40s this weekend and continuing into next week. Get out early this weekend to take advantage of the best conditions. Trails will be good at the start of the weekend in the Upper Peninsula and they should be fait to good throughout the weekend. Soft snow and high traffic might make for challenging conditions in the afternoon. Groomers should be able to get out at night to groom as low temperature will be in the 20s. Northern Lower Michigan has less of a base so this warm up may put more a a dent in conditions than the Upper Peninsula.

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> We know you'll pass by this post for snowfall today, but here on February 12th, 2026, it's quite a reflective moment to see just how far we have come this winter. Just a couple weeks ago it was lake effect snow every single day. Today, a light band of 1-3" near Munising is all we will need to write home about. We even tossed in some humor for those not in a designated snowfall zone. A couple slick spots will pop up along M-28 near Munising, and perhaps around Petoskey if a longer lake effect band happens to form, but this is more unlikely than likely.
Enjoy your rather snow-free day here in Michigan in early February. If you've read this far, comment your favorite memory of winter to this point.
