Just like that! … trail conditions have greatly improved. Many happy riders coming in tonight from their rides. Grooming resumed late yesterday. Add the snow from all day today and everyone is satisfied.

I really don’t understand why we have had only a lake snow advisory. Its blizzard conditions out there! The roads have ice under the snow. All roads! Its snowed steadily, the wind has been blowing very strong and it was only 5 degrees at 3 pm. That sounds like a blizzard to me.

Riders have had great rides. The ones we have talked to went west thru Lakes of North and Starvation Lake. And north up to Indian River and their trails. Everyone had fun. No complaints.

That does make us happy. Just wish we could get out to take a ride ourselves. Bitter temps means to wear your warmest gear. Its looking like tomorrow will be the most miserably cold day of this week.

Snow continues to be in the forecast every day of the 7 day forecast.

We have not picked up all that much lake effect at this point. However just 8 miles north and you run into an extra 8 inches of snow. Mancelona is getting the lake effect cloud this morning. Hopefully a cloud or two will pass over us. We continue to be under a lake effect snow advisory.

Riders report decent rides yesterday. The groomer was seen late afternoon yesterday and it passed by here around 5 pm.
