Indian River Trail Report – 01/21
What a windy, wet, and wild weather weekend we had. It was a downer overall until yesterday when the cold settled in and the snow started falling. Friday we got 1-2″ of fresh snow. Trail conditions were thin but getting there. Saturday started out with some light snow but turned to ice pellets and eventually rain, thunder, and lightening. Yesterday turned cold and icy; then light bands of lake effect started coming down. Temperatures really took a nose dive and we were down around 8 degrees last night. This morning we’ve got about the same temps. The snow started coming down in the night and we’ve got at least 5″ already. It’s still falling now and the radar shows the snow will continue. Local schools are open but roads are snow-packed and icy. Too cold for the salt to work right now. There isn’t any wind to speak of so visibility isn’t too bad (aside from vehicles stirring the snow). Our groomers were finally able to run last night and will again tonight! There’s no business like snow business and today business is good. Wish we could’ve had this on Friday so more riders could enjoy the whole weekend. Hit the trails if you can today–it’s going to be good riding. Back roads and shoulders have plenty of crossing snow. Just remember to dress for it! Happy MLK Day to you all and be safe out there.
