Today's Video...................
You can tell by the number of sleds at Stillwater parking lot and I can tell by the number of people looking at the blog and cameras. There are a lot of people out riding this weekend for sure. For those of you that didn't get out to ride. You'll have to get your fix with today's video.
Today's Video...........
Pay attention to Stillwater at 10:54am. That's when the first sled went out on to the reservoir this season and it wasn't long before there was a lot of tracks out there. It also looks like there are tracks on 4th lake at the boat ramp.

The more I thought about it, I think I'm wrong when I talked about the bridge at trail 8. I said that it was for the railroad. The railroad would have cut off at Carter Station and went out trail 9 to trail 5 to Eagle Bay.

We may not have the big snow totals like some areas. But take a look at today's video and you decide if the riding is any good in our area.

We had snow in the air all day and conditions are just getting better by the day.
What did I screw up on today's video?
Today's Video...............
From a forecast that was OK to a forecast that is looking pretty darn good. Cold temps every day in the 10 day and snow on 5 of them. With clouds 7 days and mostly cloudy the rest. Yes, it's nice to enjoy a day of riding when it's sunny, nothing prettier. But we aren't to the point that we can lose any snow to the sun.

I did go out for a ride last night and zipped off 38 miles. Stayed around the Old Forge area and traffic was very light for a Saturday night. We did get lake effect the last 24 hours and that has improved trail condition a lot. Groomers are out and with the cold temps the base will be setting up nice.

LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM EST SUNDAY...
* WHAT...Heavy lake effect snow expected. Snow accumulations between 6 and 12 inches with locally higher amounts in the most persistent bands. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph will result in blowing and drifting snow. * WHERE...Northern Herkimer County. The greatest snowfall amounts are expected to occur near the Route 8 corridor. * WHEN...Until 4 PM EST Sunday.
One thing is for sure this upcoming week. We aren't going to see any melt downs unless the forecast really changes. So, all the wet spots will be going away. Cross your fingers the lake effect gives us a good amount of snow overnight and more this upcoming week.
Today's Video.................
The lake effect has been south of use for the most part. We did see some snow from it, but nothing to write home about. But don't count it out just yet. Lake effect warning is in effect till 4pm Saturday. As long as there is snow coming off the lake the winds can change to our favor. It may be a long shot, but one can hope.
