Cross your fingers..............

 I'm hoping for clouds and limited sun till we see the cold return later this week.   It sounds like the snow headed our way will be the good packing stuff on Wednesday.  The long range projected temps have use staying cold into March after this week's warmth.

Got it wrong...........

 I said Tuesday they are calling for snow in the video.  It's Wednesday that they are calling for snow.  I'll take it any day they want to send it our way.

Different group.............

 This weekend is always a funny one.  Lots of people in town.  But not always the same people you see other times during the season.  This weekend you see a lot of families and people riding two up with the kids.

Holiday Weekend is here...........

 Please be careful this weekend and take extra caution.  There will be a lot of people in town and I'm guessing many young riders with it being a Holiday weekend.  The Fire Dept was dispatched for two snowmobile accidents on Friday already.  Let's keep it at just the two.

All groomers on deck.............

 President's Weekend is here and with the snow we got it's going to be a crazy busy weekend.  So, give the groomers the space they need to do their thing and not have to stop for you.  From a time when I worked on the groomers, it makes a Hugh difference on how much you can get done during your shift if you aren't stopping all the time.

By what I'm seeing..............

It's like Christmas Eve...........

 What do I mean by It's like Christmas Eve.  9:30 on a Saturday night and there no sled traffic going past the house or on the next street over.  Did everyone get in a full day of riding and taking it easy or is it the cold? Maybe a little of both.

Happy Riding.............

Hope everyone that has plans to get some riding in this weekend has a safe one. We have snow in the air this evening.  Will be interesting to see what we get out of this one.

Looking better...............

 The 10 day forecast is looking better by the day.  Just a few days ago there was only 4 inches of new snow in it and now it's 9 to 10.  Even with the foot base we have now, we still need new snow to replenish the snow the sleds eat.

Helping out............

 The few days that they are calling for partly cloudy weather shouldn't be a problem. As the temp are going to be on our side and should keep things frozen down even if we do see some sun.

What are you waiting for?..............

 If you haven't gotten to the area this winter yet and you plan to.  I wouldn't wait too much longer.  We are heading into the second half of the season and it doesn't get any better than it is right now.

Didn't work out............

 I tried to put together a good video of the race at Stillwater.  But it didn't work out as planned.  I'll explain what went wrong in the video.  The upcoming week looks like it's going to be another good one.
