The forecast for 1′ of fresh snow yesterday was slightly off…We ended up with a very stormy day that brought us 3-4′ of fresh snow. Conditions went from light snow falling to blustery and snowy with every passing hour. By afternoon visibility was minimal and roads were in bad shape. Temperatures started around 36 and were down to 19 by late in the day. Snow was blowing and drifting all over the place. Of course, this is a snowmobilers’ paradise. Paradise it is on our trails today. The groomers will hit the trails tonight. The wind and snow has dropped off but temperatures are cold-in the low teens. So dress for the bitter cold and have a great ride.
