Light snow in the area all day with heavy snow closer to the Porkies. Temp's were pretty consistent around 24° and we're still under a winter storm warning..
The last water hole on 8w to Wakefield was filled in again and 🤞it should remain intact for the season. 8w was groomed through to our turn around. 13n, 1n and 102 also covered. Gogebic Area Grooming ❄️❄️❄️ #lakegogebic #westernup #snowphotosBergland Area Groomer's report for 1-16-26.
