Snow accumulation: 10 inches*–4′ overall

The snow gauge is showing a 2 inch snowfall overnight but that is misleading. The gauge is in a protected area. High winds have been blowing the snow around so it is accumulating in open areas. I was out this morning and found a consistent 4 inch accumulation in the seven mile drive I took on unplowed roads. Gosh, what a treat!

The groomers are out there today and hope you are too.

Snow accumulation: 8 inches*

The groomers are running again today doing what they can with what they have. They will be staying off the White Pine trail until there is a significant build up of snow.

We have a winter storm advisory in effect for this evening with a possibility of 2 to 5 inches arriving before noon Thursday.

Speaking of the White Pine trail, some of you may have already seen the signs on the White Pine Trail asking snowmobiles to stay off the trail unless there is atleast 4 inches of snow. The signs posted by the State Park staff read ‘Help protect our resource, please refrain from operating snowmobiles when less than four inches of snow cover the trail.’ We were assured by the State Park staff these signs were posted not as an enforcement tool but as an educational tool. The ‘four inch’ rule has been in effect in State Parks for years.

Bristol
33 Rd (Off M55)
44 Rd (Off M115)
