Conover Snowmobile Club Date of Report: March 1, 2010 Trail Conditions: Poor Snow Cover: Varying inches Area Report: Trails took a beating over the weekend. Town roads, bridge crossings and road routes are pretty much bare. Our Trail 13 north of HWY K is really thin with many bare spots. Trail 12 east of town out to Trail 45 is junk and Trail 45 north of Trail 12 for about 1/2 mile is also junk. That area got destroyed by a logger/excavator. We did get about 2 inches of snow yesterday, but it was in the mid 30's so it was melting almost as it hit the ground. Sure would have been nice to get a dumping, oh well. I am canceling our club rides until further notice and conditions improve. Forecast for the week looks like highs in the mid 30's with lows in the mid teens and no significant snow. We did groom last night but will be cutting back intil things improve, maybe we can squeeze a couple more weeks of riding in before we face "mud season". Pray for a blizzard!! |
