Could it be?

Are we going to see enough, of the white stuff, to get in that last ride of the year?  They increased the high side number by a 1/4 of a foot for our area.  And don't forget, this is going to be the good heavy wet stuff, that adds up fast and packs down great.  So get a dancing and cross your fingers.  It also looks like more mid week.  Who knows maybe there will be riding for SnoFest this year yet.

OLD FORGE--The Town of Webb/Inlet Snowmobile Trails were temporarily closed at 8AM Wednesday, February 28, 2018.

    Town officials in Webb and Inlet made the decision primarily for public safety. Natural resources and equipment preservation are also prime considerations. Recent unseasonable weather has resulted in rapid degradation of trail conditions. Many areas are now unsafe for travel due to lack of coverage, icy conditions, and minor flooding.

    According to town officials and the trail maintenance supervisors, conditions are being monitored daily, and the trails will be reopened if possible. Substantial snowfall and cold temperatures will be required to provide safe and manageable conditions. Any minor snowfall now will only thinly cover potential hazards.

    Notification signs are being posted at main entry points to the trail system, and access gates will be closed where possible.

    DEC officials closed snowmobile trails in the Moose River Plains Wednesday at noon, citing “bare ground and icy conditions.”

Ice Skating anyone?

You'll see in the video, that most of the front yard is frozen over with solid ice.  To the point that you could ice skate on it.  The sad part is, the trails are getting to this point also.  With the warmth during the day and the cold at night.  But this may be a good thing, as solid ice takes that much longer to melt down.  So when and if we get that last shot of winter.  There will be some base left out there, for the last ride of the season.

Still some...........

Snowmobiling may be on hold for now, but there are still activities happening in town this weekend.  There was a ice fishing contest on the Fulton Chain, skiing at McCauley Mountain and I saw some kayaks around town also.  We may not want to see the snow melting away, but others are having fun from it.

The average is two........

I looked back over the last five years of March reservation charts and the average comes out to two weekends of riding.  So cross your fingers we see it this year again and we'll all be smiling enjoying the last ride of the season.

Cold has returned..........

At one point today, the radar was showing R from Mexico to Maine.  But as the day went on it dried up and we didn't see all that much of the wet stuff.  The snow pack has gone down, but the ice is hanging in there.  Here's your snow fix for today. I should have enough footage to keep you going till the beginning of next week.
