GRAND MARAIS UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. – 02/06
Ok folks it’s still storming out. Heavy snow, windy and very cold. It’s 12 degrees with a 24 mph wind and wind chill of -7. Visibility is poor. All trails were groomed last night and I believe we have a groomer headed west this morning with the other groomers leaving later this afternoon. Please be careful out there and watch out for each other!!

24 degrees this morning and cloudy. We must have had that freezing fog again earlier cause everything is pure white outside....really cool looking. We have survived the last couple days of warmer weather really well, it helps when it gets into the low 20`s at night. It looks like a couple more days above freezing and then chill back out to "normal", with a little snow here an there.
Every trail was groomed yesterday and all operators said they are in great shape. Our entire system will get it again today and then Monday`s are our "maintance day". This is where we go thru all 3 machines with a fine tooth comb and grease underneath zerts and just check everything out. Bout all I got to report....COME ON U.P. before its too late!!!!
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was 9 degrees this morning when I got up at 0630, it is now 22 at 0800 and cloudy....weird weather! It is supposed to get up into the low 30`s today and drop into the low teens at night. "They" are watching for a "big storm" coming in for early next week but temps into the 30`s....weird weather. Nuff on that....lets get to the trails....
All trails were run yesterday and they are all in great shape. We will run almost around the clock all weekend to keep them that way for you. If the warmer days start to break up the ice in the low lands I`ll be sure to let ya`ll know, but for now we are in GREAT SHAPE!!!! Bout all I got to report.
LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
