We had high winds and the power was on and off last night. Stillwater, McCauley and the Trail cam are offline at this time. Hoping to get McCauley and the Trail back online Friday. Let's see who is paying attention. What's missing in today's video?
Today's Video................
Winter has returned but it won't be here long. By the way the forecast looks, by Friday it will feel like spring again. At 8:15pm we do have a good band of lake effect in the area. I included still pics from 8:05 showing the snow.

The end of the video has pictures of what I missed in yesterday's video and what others saw that I didn't see.

To see the snow conditions going downhill the way they have over the last week, just isn't good for your mental health. Because we won't be jumping into spring in the near future. We'll just have to look at the ugly before spring does get here.
I watched the video three time and then I saw it. What did I see?
Today's Video................
At first, I thought today was going to be the first day with no sled sightings. But after watching the information center video very closely. I did see one sled and noticed the tracks change a few times. It makes you wonder what a sled ever did to its rider for them to take it out in these conditions. I know there's one sled that will never be ridden again for sure. It burnt up last night just before the bridge on North Street.

The snow has iced over and isn't much good for snowmobiling. So, the waiting game begins waiting for some new snow to ride on again. Don't give up hope on the season yet. We've had some good storms in March over the years. Most March storms have heavy wet snow and can bring riding conditions around fast.
Today's Video.............
I was hoping to get the entire day without the sun. But that didn't happen and most of the afternoon we had clear skies and it melted away more of the snow we didn't need to lose.
Saturday morning update. The temps dropped over night and it's 7 at 8:30am. What was a soft mess yesterday is or will be frozen back up today with the high in the teens today.

Not that I want to do a Dave. But as I'm doing this post at 10:22 pm on Thursday night. It looks like this weekend is going to be a bust. I have lived here long enough to know and have seen it can change overnight. But at this point I don't see it in the forecast for it to come around.

Ken updated his sled and he wanted to try it out. So, we went out for a short ride to see how he liked it. Put on 28 miles playing around on the trails south of pipeline and trail 1. My take is he likes it.
Today's Video..........
Took a quick ride this afternoon to get some video. The sun today wasn't our friend that is for sure.
Today's Video............
Went out for a ride tonight and put on an easy 75 miles. Was out for 5 hours including a stop at Stillwater for dinner. We saw four groomers doing the best they can with the limited snow they have to work with.
Today's Video............
I have to say the weekend turned out a lot better than I thought it was going to be. When you figure Thursday morning you could see grass in spots in the front yard. Since then, we got around 10 inches of new snow, and it was just enough to bring things around.
Today's Video................
Wednesday isn't looking that great, but the rest of the week looks like it should turn out OK.
Today's Video..............
The snow we got saved the weekend. Are we going to have normal mid-February conditions? No What we do have is beginning of the season snow conditions, that started out with a marginal base. Not the best, but better than nothing.
Today's Video...............
My official count is 6 to 7 inches on the ground and the forecast is calling for up to another 2 inches before it ends. The gates are open, let the fun begin. Ride safe as there is solid ice under this new snow in many areas.
It's snowing, now all we can hope for is it snows till 1pm Friday like the storm warning is calling for.
WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM EST FRIDAY... * WHAT...Heavy snow. Snow accumulations of 5 to 10 inches. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph. * WHERE...Northern Herkimer and Hamilton Counties.
Today's Video.........
The thousand-dollar question is. Will we get enough snow Thursday into Friday to open the trails for the weekend. If we get the up to 9 inches I would say yes. How good will it be, all depends on the type of snow we get and that you never know till it's on the ground.
Today's Video.................
Got lake effect over night and I'd give it 2 to 3 inches. Like always video later on.
We had some snow this evening. Not enough to break the sleds out. But at least it's white again. Ten day is showing snow towards the end of the week. But at this time, it doesn't look like enough to save the weekend.
Today's Video................
I'm guessing that most of the people getting the snow would be happy if we got it and not them. It sure has been a long dry spell, that is for sure.
Today's Video............
The temps have dropped below freezing and things are freezing back down. The last few days hit us hard when it comes to the base. It didn't take it all out, but there are bare spots out there. Cross your fingers we see some snow on Monday and Tuesday. If not, Thursday looks like the next chance to see some.
Today's Video.........
At first there was one red tent and now we have two. I know there hasn't been much to report or show everyone. But I like to show each day so you can see what we have going on. On another note, the storm that is headed east can always change track. So don't give up hope yet. I know wishful thinking.
Today's Video..............
Sad as it is I did find one plus to the lack of snow in the area. Went out with some friends for dinner tonight and we didn't have to wait for a table on a Friday night in February. But the truth of the matter is we need to see some snow. Not just for the money it brings to the area. But for the water table levels also.
Today's Video.................
Forecast was looking good for next week. But now it's changing every time you look at it. Where the heck is all the precipitation?
Today's Video...............
Forecast is showing snow for us next week. Could the snow drought be over for us and we're back to winter? Only time will tell, but I sure hope so. I'm not one to sit around much and waiting for it to snow is getting old.
Toady's Video..............
Today was the last of the full days of sun for the week. We should have some cloud cover the rest of the week, which will help slow down the melting. Go back three days and look at the snow on the railing at Stillwater. We've lost some snow, but not as much as you would think with the warm temps and sun the last few days.
Today's Video..............
It was sunny all day and Tuesday looks the same. Doesn't look like we'll return to winter weather till Sunday. Cross your fingers that we don't have to start building base all over again.
Today's Video................
The long-range forecast is just plain upsetting for the upcoming week. Looks like another week of no snow and warm temps. I don't know who pissed of Mother Nature or Old Man Winter. But would you please make up with them!
Today's Video............
If town saw a normal weekend of sled traffic the trails wouldn't have lasted more than a few hours. But with the limited traffic the few that did come to town had an enjoyable day of riding.
Today's Video..............
I was surprised to see the number of sleds in Stillwater's parking lot today. Not sure where they came from. As I only heard a few sleds on my end of town today. But happy to see them there.
Today's Video............
Well, it going to be another honey do list weekend again. We still have two months before the season comes to an end. I cut it to close at the end of the video. So, there's no "see ya" at the end today.
