March 9th – 8:19 am – Colder today. 23.3 degrees here as I write this. Woke up to about two to three inches of new light and fluffy snow and it is snowing right now. NOAA is callin…g for two to four more inches today and very cold tonight – 6 or so degrees.

Warmer tomorrow though. (go to www.NOAA.gov and put in Gaylord, Michigan and you’ll see exactly what I’m seeing) Prior to these colder temps which came in late Wednesday night, we had two very warm days – one day made it to 55 degrees and the trails went to slush. I was on them yesterday though to give them a first-hand check and they we frozen and icy. We would need every bit of this new snow on top of what we had last night to have enough on that icy base to keep things lubricated for riding. Wish I had a Crystal Ball and I wish I could tell you better! John @ Heart Lake Resort just south of Gaylord. 989-732-5081

We got about 2 inches of snow overnight. It continues to snow now. The snow advisory is in effect until 5 pm today. NOW is the time to ride! The snow covering the ice will make decent riding. It was cold all day yesterday, and will continue thru today. High tempt 26 degrees. Tomorrow the high will be back up to 40. After that temps will remain in the 40s or higher. So, the window to ride is very narrow. Today, Tonight and tomorrow morning look like the best chance.
