Sounds like some areas to our West and South were hammered by snow over the weekend. I wish we could say the same in our area but we can’t. We did get snow over the weekend and have between 6″-8″ total on the ground. The numbers increase as you move west from the center of town. Lake effect is tough to measure because it often varies within a couple mile radius of any spot. Make no mistake–winter is here! We just don’t have enough snow to run tractors/drags over yet. One day at a time. Temps were in the teens and low 20’s over the weekend. Today we’re up in the high 20’s and should top out around freezing. Looks like a quiet day ahead and all local schools are open because the roads are fairly clear. Assuming the forecast holds we’re in for a big temperature drop and by Wednesday (highs in the teens). We’re also in for snow every day, starting tomorrow. Stay tuned and we’ll keep you updated with the latest and greatest.

If you’re interested in supporting local grooming efforts, visit www.justgroomit.org for details on joining the Indian River Snowmobile Grooming club with a membership donation. We have hats and t-shirts (short & long sleeve) for sale too. Even when we can’t groom we still have operational expenses like insurance, two-way radio communication subscriptions, equipment repair, utilities and more. Thanks to member donations we’re almost done with interior/finish construction at our new equipment barn! We now store and work on the grooming equipment only yards from the DNR trailhead. Your support makes all the difference. Thank you–

Our guys checked the trail yesterday and unfortunately there is not enough snow to groom. This is probably not a surprise since we’ve only received a dusting since the weekend.

There is a thick base of ice but we need several inches of snow on top of it-otherwise the groomer has nothing to work with. Temperatures have held in the 20’s and riding is still decent in the woods. The railroad grade is hit-and-miss, and rider traffic has really dwindled. Today it’s in the teens and is supposed to reach a high of 30. Friday and Saturday are forecasted to be in the mid to upper 30’s. Sunday and Monday are looking like we’ll break 40s. I do believe the writing is on the wall…or in the snow…Expect conditions in the woods to hold longest when the melt-off begins. Thank you for another great season of support for our trail system, our volunteers, and our report. We love hearing from riders who use our report and appreciate your business too! I’ll post one more time next week just to ease the pain of snowmobile season ending…Thank you–
