It's Back...........

 For those of you that have missed the view from the top of McCauley Mountain.  I was asked at the last town board meeting to fire it back up.  You can see webcams for McCauley at www.visitoldforge.com/mccauley

Check it out.........

 Dropped to 52 this morning and fog is sitting on fourth lake.

Something Different......

 Pullman Ave is getting a upgrade.    Talked to highway supervisor and they are recycling the base and will be paving the top with new blacktop.  Also it's not tar in the tanker. 

What the heck!

 Whoever was the wise guy that posted "Fire up the sleds snows on the way"   It was in the 70's yesterday and you could hear the sound of summer toys all day long. Dirt bikes, street bikes, trikes, muscle cars, vettes and more.  Today all you hear is the silence of snow falling from the sky.

Will it?

 Is this going to be the last time we see snow till next winter?  10-day forecast is showing warmer temps every day.  I'm hoping so, I was starting to enjoy the warmth.  Monday morning, we had 1 1/4 inches of snow on the deck and Tuesday morning there was 2 1/4.

I commented about what I thought the temp would drop to in the video.  It dropped to 7 at 6:50am. Well below the forecasted low.

Ice Out..........

 Time lapse at Stillwater this week.

Won't last much longer............

 The snowpack that's still hanging around will be going fast in the next week.  Forecast is calling for 3 inches of R over the next 7 days. I'm thinking that will finish off the last of the snow.

It's time...............

 Not one of the trail cams caught anything going on today, not even someone walking the dog.  With that said I'm going to take a break from posting.  Thanks to everyone for watching this winter!

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

Not much action...........

Had two camera trips in the morning and that was it for the day when it came to sleds going past.  Did have someone out walking their dogs in Rondaxe.

Will there be.............

 Looks like R most of the day light hours of the day on Sunday.  The question is will there be anyone out on the trails for the camera to upload a picture of them?  My guess would be no, but you never know.

Just may be...........

Saturday morning update:  Temps dropped below freezing overnight and the soft snow and slush is frozen again.  Calling for cloudy all day and temps around freezing.  So, this may be the last day of getting in some riding.  Sunday calling for 40 and R and the rest of the forecast isn't any better. 

I've thought it was over a few times this month.  But a blast of snow saved us. If we don't see another blast of snow, I really think this may be the end by what I'm seeing in the forecast.  But like always only time will tell.

Each time..............

 This month every time we get a warmup and see R the conditions get worse.  We're at the point that we really can't take to much more of a hit before the great base that was built up over the winter is gone.  I hate to say it but the R Friday and Sunday my put an end to the season.

Just enough...........

 The snow we got the last two days is just enough to cover the solid ice base and keep it rideable.  But Friday looks like some R that may just take the layer away.  Ride it while we got it. I went for a 35 mile zip tonight.

Will we make it?

 Halfway through the month and there are still some people out riding.  It's springtime conditions for sure and who knows how long they will last. By what I'm seeing, not much longer.  But I thought that last week and here we are still riding.

Couldn't help myself...............

 Too nice of a day to not take another last ride of the season.  Who knows I may just get another one in before it's all over.

They got it................

 Forecast was calling for 5 to 12 and we got 9 inches.  Enough to break the sleds back out for another ride.  Now we just have to wait and see if Monday's weather is going to screw it up for the upcoming week.
