Warm weather is taking its toll. Its 36 right now and supposed to stay there. if temps get below freezing tonight we may try to groom. It is to stay warm until the weekend, 30’s in day and upper 20’s at night, maybe some rain Friday. We hope it is cold enough to be snow, the forecast varies, some say snow.
