Ok, enough already! Really?? Spring is two days away and we’re in the middle of a blizzard! Again! Well, I must say, I do enjoy weather like this! As of this morning, the official snow total was 217 inches for the season. Since then we’ve gotten at least another foot, whoo hoo! So much for the forecasts that said we’d get 8 to 18 by Thursday morning! As of 4:00 this afternoon, they are saying light snow will transition from moderate to heavy!? Where they heck are they? It’s been coming down like crazy all day. I had a hard time finding my way home from town in the white outs and the winds haven’t even kicked up yet.
One thing I do have to report is that we have another groomer down – that makes two out of commission. Thank you, Seney Snowmobile Association for helping us out. With their help, all the trails will still be groomed. This crazy snow has really pushed our groomers to the max this season.
Base: 36 or more inches
Snowfall Past 24 hours: 5 inches
Last Grooming: Last Night and early this morning
Current Trail Conditions: Good to Excellent

Well hello and Happy Monday! We are hanging on! And March is not done yet! We are 2 days away from ‘Spring’ and under a winter weather advisory! Snow starting today and lake effect coming in tomorrow with 8-12′ possible thru Thursday. The groomers have been out and the trails were good over the weekend and so hopefully we’re gonna have another hoorah here this week too! Groomers will be out as long as we get snow and the temps stay down. Trails open till March 31st. Caution on trail 39. There are some pretty big wet areas, about 3 foot across and a foot deep just North of the Laughing Horse. SLOW DOWN and Ride at your own Risk of course, especially this time of year. So till next time! ENJOY while we can! Be safe, be smart, have fun out there, and I’ll seeya on the trails! Carol
