25 degrees this morning and partly cloudy. The last couple of mornings have been in the 20`s, so thats good. The weather guessers are calling for some snow every day for the next week, not much but at least some, maybe a total of around 6-8 inches. Being in a snow belt I`m praying we will get hammered…….it could happen!
Not much snow on the ground now. Here at my place we have about 4-5 inches…..pretty sad for the middle of January. I can see grass in my yard in spots!!! I should be saying feet instead of inches!!! I have seen some pics and videos out by Pine Stump of people riding and it don`t look too bad, apparently they have a touch more snow out that way. So much for the weather report, here`s what we`ve been up to……..
Last Saturday we took 2 groomers south of town to check out the Federal Forest section of trail #8. We can`t get in there with trucks or quads so we took 2 machines with 4 guys just to see what trees were down. It wasn`t too bad as far as trees and water and we made it thru and we left the gates open. Its not the greatest as far as snow cover but you can get thru on sleds. The only section we have not covered is the swamp south of town. We just don`t want to go in there until we have sufficient snow to fill in the water holes.
Well……thats the best I can do for an update for ya`s. We are all MORE than ready to start this season. If we could get a foot of snow we could get going. Do your best snow dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders www.paradiseareanightriders.org >> 12/30/25 14 degrees this morning and partly cloudy. About all I can say about the last couple days is HOLY WAH...did we ever get hammered with snow and wind!!!! Its impossible to say how much snow cause of all the wind but I`ll just say plenty! Everyone spent all day yesterday clearing snow and today we are hittin the trails wide open. Here`s what we have planned for the next couple days....... All 3 machines will be out today. We are sending 2 of them on the Point Trails #452 & #453. One will have a drag and the other will be helping clear trees down, we have reports of several down. The other machine will make its way down the Pine Stump trail #8. I can only imagine the drifting in "Siberia". Tomorrow we are sending 2 machines, one with a drag the other clearing trees, south on trail #8. We will be skipping the swamp for now and just starting at the river mouth. Not sure right now on the other machine duties. If all goes well we will start working on the Falls trail #45 and then go into the swamp south of town. It looks like the weather is gonna finally cooperate and its supposed to stay cold and snowy for at least a week or more. We are supposed to get another 6" plus tonight. I tend to not believe the forecast any more than a week out....LOL. Sooooooo......with all the snow and cold we are gonna run full blast! It may take a day or two to get everything in shape but we`ll try our best!!! If we can get the swamps filled in we`ll be golden....wish us luck. LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
