Groomer we were planning on doing the loop around the peninsula starting Monday Feb 27 from RDL. Now it looks like rain till Sat and was wondering how things will hold up. Should we start further north? I love your pics and every time I see them I want to load the sleds and head up.

Hi JG

We are back to a bit cooler here in PA today, 2*c hopefully it is on it's way to you. How bad is it? I imagine roads and parking lots are bare.

Thanks

hi phil !!!

back from a drive in the back roads !!! very windy up the hills !!! snowed a bit i guess earlier this morning.....it was raining at 5 am....one of my brothers told me it was raining hard around 2 30 am...

weather is changing ...hope so ...a bit of blue sky ...but not much ...still very grey !!!

it was +3 c at city hall around 11 am......1 mile from my house ....looks like a big difference at home...-4c ....maybe my thermother is closer to ground/ snow !!!

hoping for the best ...need to groom....grooming when too warm...not much interesting to carry a big '' ice cream '' in the drag...not funny !!!

 

ps: early sunday morning traffic jam just below tq 5 in town !!!....beeep...beeep !!! hahha
