We're getting hammered with snow right now, Mike C. from channel 4 says it's lake enhanced snow off of S.Georgian Bay, got 2-3 inches in an hour, radar shows it letting up soon...every little bit helps cover up that mud!
Looks as if the dirt has frozen up a bit overnite, from what I can see at the trail crossings. more snow forecast for overnite, plus more on Sat...woohoo!

Going down to Colden in Erie County on Saturday for the club picnic. Talked to Pres. of club today. They have about 1.5 ft but not much grooming has been happening yet. Maybe by this weekend.

We will be going down to the Springville area tomorrow for a club event. They say most trails are not groomed but lots of snow in the area. We will be starting in Holland and Dooing the area.

Oh ya, lots of mud and water. Best place to start is at Sprauge Brook and go South west. You will find conditions not that bad with 12 to 20 inches of snow. A fresh batch of 12 inches everywhere else would be nice.
