The party’s over for the kids of Northern Michigan–all schools are finally open today. The frigid cold has eased up a bit but it’s still only about 8 degrees out. We’re expecting a high of 11 and some light snow. We had another 2 or so inches of snow fall last night and the wind blew it around. The roads are still snow-covered and slippery here; many side roads haven’t been plowed. The shoulders are covered with packed snow so riders will have no trouble getting on and off trails crossing roads. Tuesday is the groomers’ night of rest but they’ll be back out again tonight. Cold temps and plenty of snow to work with make trail conditions excellent again today. Light traffic will keep conditions excellent. Here’s hoping you have the day off! If you head out be careful at road crossings; the banks are so high most vehicles can’t see snowmobilers.

Sorry it took me so long to update–I had to thaw my fingers out…Yes, it’s cold here. It’s about 6 degrees and there is some wind to drop that number below zero. All the schools far and wide are closed today because of the cold. But honestly I can remember as a kid waking up to -20 temperatures for several days in a row and school was open. I guess we don’t bundle up like we used to…Back to trail conditions. Trails are in super shape and have been groomed nightly. We had some engine trouble with the Kubota last night so tonight the guys will double-team on the New Holland. Traffic is extremely light out there, so if you’ve got the time and the warm gear go take a spin!
