Hello All,
Finally as of today we have some positive happenings weather wise.
It has been snowing all day and we are looking at getting a small accumulation. Accuweather has us getting 6-10 inches over the weekend which would be excellent.

It has been quite cold so the snow we did have has held. Trails were pretty rough but when we get enough to start grooming again there will be a good solid yet sparce base.
I will keep doing the snow dance and hopefully I will have news of grooming resuming in the next couple of days.
Also, we have a great event going on this weekend in our sister city Negaunee:
Heikki Luunta Winterfest: http://www.negauneeirontown.com/winterfest.htm

It finally looks like winter we are expected to get two to four inches of snow today. If it keeps on snowing the way it is right now we will have no problem getting the 4 inches they are calling for. Snow showers in the forecast for the next several days. Temps will be in mid 20’s Friday and Saturday, and single digits Sunday and Monday.
The Gogebic Range Trail Authority report the groomers have been taken off the trails until we get more snow. Expect bare spots and icy corners and poor conditions.
The Lake Gogebic groomers report: They have received approximately 4 inches of snow with snow in the forecast for the next week. Temps for the most part will be very cold. Groomers are expected to go out today conditions permitting. Expect icy corners and bare spots.
The Watersmeet groomers have not gone out yet, they need more snow. There is very little to no base. They are biting at the bit to go out and groom.
All areas need more snow….keep in mind groomers can be out day or night so watch out for them and please pull over or slow down and wait for the operator to signal you by.
Please be careful on corners as you know several Michigan Trail signs have been discontinued. These signs are posted on our trail map. PLEASE BE SAFE!!!!
