Surprise! What a Difference a Day Makes

 Well, who saw this coming 24 hours ago? Not the weather forecasters.

Anyway, we are happy to report that we've received between 10 and 15 cm of snow, and it's still coming down. It's hard to measure exactly how much we've got, as the wind has been blowing, so some spots are deeper, while in other places the snow has been blown away.

I will begin grooming right after breakfast, but this will just be a first pass, as the snowfall is predicted to continue into the afternoon.

3 p.m. Update: All trails except 2 short ones have been packed at least once. Grooming was tough today, as the grooming machine just won't climb a steep hill when there is 20 or more cm of loose snow on it. Got stuck and had to dig out 4 times. Anyway it's done with one pass, for now. Snow is still falling, though lighter than earlier. I will be out tomorrow morning to pack the trails more firmly and set some track.

  2. Woo hoo, best live snow report in the area! Mansfield is closed, not sure why…so aside from setting my own tracks in snow drifts, this is great news. Thanks so much. 💕
