FROM THE CADILLAC WINTER PROMOTIONS
Wednesday–February 24, 2010

We woke up to find 2 inches of fresh snow on the ground this morning. That certainly whitened things up a lot. Groomers are still running the forest trails.

Snow gauge*: 8 inches

We did get an inch or so on 2-22-10 and a dusting 2-23-10 and an inch or two so far on 2-24-10. The trails did take a beating last weekend, but are improving daily. TV 9 and 10’s forecast sounds like we are going to get some more snow tonight and Friday, with accumulations of 2″ to 4″ and more snow on Saturday and Sunday, but with any forecast I’ll believe it when I see it. If we just get even a few inches, we will be in pretty fair shape. As long as you have realistic expectations of the spring like conditions, you should have a decent ride. Remember spring is coming and the snow will be going soon, so ride while you still can. What’s nice around here, we are in the middle of six different grooming clubs, (which we are members of four) and if one club isn’t grooming today, one of the other clubs are grooming today, weather permitting.

FROM THE CADILLAC WINTER PROMOTIONS
Tuesday–February 23, 2010

We didn’t get much of that snow that blanketed the southern part of the state yesterday. And, what did fall, didn’t last long because of the mild temperatures. The snow gauge this morning showed only a one-half inch increase. There is still plenty of snow in the forest but it is wearing thin or non-existent in some open areas and on curves elsewhere. The groomers are going out every day as long as temperatures and conditions permit. Most of the forest trails are excellent with some areas marginal. The remainder of the trail system could be rated good to poor.

Snow gauge*: 6 inches

I’m back from my fishing trip, so I’m back to work. I’m sure you all heard about the State wide melting this last weekend. Sunny, high traffic and 35 degrees doesn’t make for great snowmobile trails. The trails did take a beating, but I did see where the groomers did go out and try to flatten the trails out, getting ready for the forecasted snow. That is what’s nice around here, we are in the middle of six different grooming clubs, (which we are members of four) and if one club isn’t grooming today, one of the other clubs are grooming today. We did get an inch or so on 2-22-10, but more snow is needed. The forecast sounds like we are going to get some snow later today and tomorrow and again on Friday and Saturday, but with any forecast I’ll believe it when I see it. If we just get even a few inches, we will be in pretty fair shape.
