Winter isn't over yet..........

 Well we are nice and white this morning again.

Today's video..........

Hate to say it...............

 I took a ride out to the end of North Street yesterday and by what I saw.  I would guess that some of the inner trails my even be toast also.  If there is anything left out there it won't be for long.  Because starting Saturday the day time temps are all in the 40's and 50's for ten days.

New snow goes fast............

 Take note of the snow on the railing at Stillwater on Sunday.  The side of the railing is not covered with snow and the melt down of the snow is much faster than it is in the parking lot.  But as soon as a dark spot shows up in the lot, the melt down starts picking up speed there also.

Looked pretty.............

 Had a dusting of snow overnight, which made it look all fresh and pretty this morning.  But it was short lived, as the sun cooked it off in no time and then it was back to the dirty snow.

Doesn't look good.............

 I didn't take a ride out to north street today, to see what it's looking like.  But by what I saw here at the motel, I'd guess that it isn't pretty out there.  There are a few spots in the front yard that the grass is starting to show and the parking lot is bare in some spots.  I put a snow fix in at the end of the video for you.

Not looking........

 Not to be mister doom and gloom.  But it doesn't look all that promising for things to come back around before they close the gates.  There is some snow in the forecast, but it doesn't look like enough to make a difference.  I'm surprised no one has said anything about what is missing in the video.  Got any thoughts on what to do with what is left?

Hope not..............

 I'm hoping today wasn't the last of the season.  But just in case it was, I went out for a short ride this afternoon.  Overall the conditions today where good.  But with what I saw today, I don't think they will be all that great after two or three days of warmth and some R one day.  Just hope we get some new snow after the warm up or today just may have been my last ride of the season.

Quiet evening............

 It's pretty quiet around town this Sunday evening and nothing like it's been the last month.  Not much else to report.  Cross your fingers the mid week warm up doesn't hurt us to bad and we get some snow back in here to finish off the season till the end of the month.

Today's Video..........

Temps Helped.............

 The cold temps over the weekend helped keep the trails frozen down, which was a big plus with the amount of traffic they saw.  The forecast for mid week isn't looking all that great.  But by Friday night we should be back to winter.  So next weekend may be a bust, but after that there is still two weeks before it's over and the gates swing shut for the season.

Today's Video............

Two in one...............

 The video today shows what went on Wednesday and Thursday.  Trails are in great shape and the cold temps this weekend will help keep things together.  The Pink Ribbon Riders event will be in town this weekend.  I'm guessing they will be having trail rides, so keep an eye out for them.  Hope you have plans to get some seat time in.  Because I went out for a ride yesterday and you couldn't ask for better conditions.

Day late..........

 The cold temps have returned and the soft trail conditions from the warmth and R on Sunday and Monday are gone.  Groomers are out and the snow we received was enough to cover the ice in spots.  So here is Tuesday video on Wednesday morning.

Don't like.............

Cross your fingers that the cold temps tonight freeze the lakes back up.  Because it looks like Stillwater has some slush on it.  I know the parking lot got soft in a few spots over the last few days, so it goes to figure the lakes got soft also.  We haven't seen much snow from the lake effect this evening, but at 10pm that all started to change.  How long will it last?  You never know with lake effect.  But we have gotten enough to make a change in the conditions, enough to cover the iced over spots.  Here's a pic at the info center.  But on the other hand we don't want to much or the lakes may not freeze back up.

Repeat of Saturday...........

 We saw some light R late in the afternoon on Sunday.  The warmer temps and the R that we did see over the last few days did put a hurting on the roads.  But colder temps are returning and with some new snow in the forecast for Monday the trails should be in pretty good shape.  It's that time of the year, spring time conditions are here.
