What a big difference a weekend makes. It rained for 2 days and was 42d on Friday. Temps dropped Saturday night, and it brought some snow.

A ton of schools are freaking out about a few inches downstate and are closed, but it doesn’t seem that bad to me. By Monday morning the St. Ignace area has 4’+ of new snow and with the cold temps everything should finally be frozen up out there. The issue is all that snow is super light, and is going to pack down to less then 2′.

Over the next few days we should be over the worst of early season conditions, as the forecast is calling for cold temps all week with a few added inches here and there until the next big question mark, which is Friday/Saturday. Some are forecasting 1-2′ of snow Friday & Saturday, the local TV is calling for a rain snow mix across the area.

That could setting the snow in and create a perfect base, or just ruin all the work we are putting in. Forecast will get clearer over the next couple days. As of right now, I would say it is time to start making plans on where to go for the coming weekend, make your final decision when you see what Fridays warmup will bring.

Our area is digging out from the big wind – snow storm. Storm totals are tough to figure with all the wind, we got bare spots, and 3′ drifts. The snow was decent, and for the most part the trails sound covered, 5-6′ in Iggy, 8′ in Moran, heard 10′ in Trout Lake and Epoufette.

With all the winds, we need to check the trails for trees. A few local sleds have made a trip. We are not ready for a big influx of sleds, but I think we will be in decent shape in a few days.

Talking to my drivers to get a handle on when we can get things packed down.

Check for updates tomorrow.
