Next week should be the icing on the cake with temps in the 50s and 60s.

Very windy here in IP early this morning. I'm guessing that there will be a lot of blow downs out on the trails around the state.  Any snow leftover up here is now frozen solid. Good for building a base

There is a *chance of snow ❄️ this weekend.

'bout time. Lets hope it comes...

We need it. Most of the lakes are still wide open. We need some cold air too.

-12 for the low today in IP. That should help freeze the lakes and ponds.

Well, we only picked up about an inch of new snow yesterday after the brief warmup. It looks like there is a hard base of 4 to 5 inches under that. I don't think it will take much more for some trails to open. We just need to get in the normal winter pattern where we pick up an inch or two of "flurries" every day or two

The group I’m currently with arrive on Jan 15th.

Ground is frozen, bring on the storms and let the groomers lose!

Last night's temps should help freeze up the water bars. The Norton club posted this morning that they have been out packing and filling water bars.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Pittsburg and maybe SDR open a few trails this weekend. Same goes for a few clubs here in the NEK.

Pittsburg is opening some trails on the 6th.

I had about 7" of fluff in Connecticut, crappy & unrideable snow, what did Island Pond area get?  Was it good enough to groom?

We got a few inches on Friday Today has mostly been sleet and freezing rain. My neighbor mentioned that his seasona5 renters said it was surprisingly OK. A few rough patches here and there between the good roads.

-14⁰ for the low here in Island Pond this morning.

Leaving tomorrow for Orleans area, hoping to be snowed in on Monday and unable to return to work for a couple days.

Keep your fingers crossed.

It is currently clear and -12⁰f.

Joined a local club this year and went to a meeting (North Country Mountaineers) on Sunday, the couple of groomer operators were dying to get out.  Area around Coventry / Irasburg  only saw a couple inches so I'm not sure if they were able to go at it with their new groomer.

That's great that you got a chance to go to a club meeting. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes.

Currently 7⁰f and going down. There's another chance for snow tomorrow.

It will be interesting to see what we get from the upcoming storm. After a light rain this morning, the temperature is down to 33⁰ with snow mixing in.

The temp has dropped to 26° and there is a light snow falling. Stay tuned.....
