Deep freeze

Woke up this morning to -11 degrees. This is actually a good thing for snowmobilers as our lakes needed to get the ice much thicker. On Monday North Twin was marked with barrels with a reported 8 inches of ice. The Cisco Chain was marked over the weekend and hoping to see barrel on Lower Buckatabon later this week.

I was in the U.P. of Michigan on Monday, and just going an hour and 20 minutes north of Conover I was in winter wonderland. The snow had to be 2-3 feet deep and white out conditions with the lake Superior snow machine doing its thing. The roads were horrible as I was pulling my 25 foot enclosed trailer to pick a new welder from AWG Gases and Welding Supplies in Houghton Michigan. The counter guy at the store told me they had received all that snow in the last couple days.

This week it will slowly warm up and by Sunday we’ll see a high of 18 degrees. On Wednesday we will get a dusting of snow but not much to add to our current snow depth. Next week it looks to warm into the mid 30’s and this will bring another weather front with it. Right now it looks to be snow in the range of 3-6 inches by mid-week on the 24th.

Our Vilas County snowmobile clubs meet on this Wednesday the 17th to discuss opening the trails. I let you know if they decide to open.

But for now that’s all I have…

Keep doing your snow dance
