Nothing but rain here on the Iron Range, 70 miles west of you...Super slippery roads this morning to puddles by 10 am and rain all day. Can you imagine how much snow would have fallen if it was colder, I bet a foot or more seeing how much rain we got

I live in the falls and there is only an inch or less. The storm made nothing but slush/rain/sleet. We had a few dustings after that and thats about it... Looks like a few clipper systems are about to move through though!

Almost an inch here in Ely! It's still comin down good! :beerchug:

No bashing intended but, looking at your pictures and noticed that the backer plates seem to be upside down?

Ya I noticed that too upside down they are in the piks, maybe more traction using the edges of them huh ? LOL

i feel ya man...i couldnt take it any more and rode my sled today on the lake...6'' of ice and 1'' of snow...was about 4''-8'' along the rushes...so i rode in that for about 20 min to get my fix.
FIREBALL 440
Myself, Firered834, Jeff, and Hank rode about 3 1/2 hours today on Stewart Lake and Little Twin Lake. I got 2 tanks of shitty gas from the Two Harbors Citgo which almost ruined my day, so avoid that place or your sleds may not run.

By the way, none of those studs pulled out or pushed through and the little 500 now lifts the ski's off the ground for about 50 feet. :div20:

The kids were ripping around Pelican lake today near Orr. 3" of snow and 7" of ice. Not enough of either for me but to some it is.
MTM
Hey, if you bust through on Pelican chances are your hood will still be above water!
trailhawk100
Thats one good thing about low water levels this year, but the river is going to suck dodgeing rocks this year for sure
firered834
i got a report from a friend that lives in finland area and he says that right in the finland area they have about 10 in. on the ground. still very light and fluffy! but its a start. LETS ALL DO A SNOW DANCE!!!I'LL START IT! :fluffy: DO YOU LIKE HER BOOBS! yay2.gif nudie.gif
trailhawk100
I've been dooin' the snow dance for a month already I am starting to think it is a waste of time myself...

I have a friend that has a cabin up by island lake and he said there isent much up there at all. it seems like from behind two harbors and up the shore there is the most snow. finland and gunflint trail are getting a good start!

There is about 6" of light fluffy snow in International Falls. the kids have been flying up and down the trails already. Grooming should partly begin if we get another 4-6"! The cold temps have produced enough ice to ride on the lakes but I wouldn't recommend it, still way to many dangerous spots. Some people are already ice fishing on lake of the woods tho wink.gif. This will be my 1st year as a groomer operator for the local club so if anyone wants updated trail info just PM or email me :div20:

Here's another good one for checking snow depths. Updated every thursday. Also cool for checking snow depth history for years past.

ABout four inches here in the Duluth area. Good enough for hot laps around the back forty and that's about it.

Oh well, ice fishing 'till snow I guess.

Check this one out. Not sure how accurate it is.
