2007
- 2008 Season
Brainerd Minnesota |
| 4/11/08 |
A winter storm in April! Snow fell in the Lakes area starting yesterday evening and is still falling this morning. The snow fall in the area this morning is measuring 8 to 12 inches. |
| 3/5/08 |
About an inch of light, fluffy snow fell overnight. |
| 2/28/08 |
A Canadian Clipper
blew through today and dropped another
inch of snow. Not much, but it cleans
up the landscape. |
| 2/15/08 |
Snowed all day and
only got 1 inch. Very dry and fluffy
snow. |
| 2/14/08 |
Snow plows and shovels will be busy for a while today: we received 3 - 4 inches of snow overnight. It's nice to see a fresh layer of white on the ground! |
| 2/9/08 |
Received about an
inch of snow in the last 24 hours.
Today we are looking forward to The
Big Wind and sub-zero temps. |
| 2/4/08 |
Not much, but we got
one inch of snow today.
At least it covers up all of the grey
stuff. |
| 2/1/08 |
As we welcome February, we are experiencing some light snow, although nothing significant for added inches. Continued, scattered light snows are expected throughout the weekend. |
| 1/28/08 |
Saturday morning I woke up to find fresh snow falling. Unfortunately, we only received a dusting. On the plus side, I didn't have to take the shovel out! |
| 1/23/08 |
Well, we've peaked out of negative temperatures and the sun has decided to join us for a day or two. No fresh snow, other than some extremely light flurries on Monday that were nothing to write home about. |
| 1/18/08 |
Brrrrr . . . Bundle up if you have to go outside today. Wind chill advisories in effect today with values expected as low as -32 during the day. Wind chill warnings gon into effect as the evening approaches with wind chills potentially reaching as low as -60 tonight. No new snow; but snow depth in the area is still around 8 inches. |
| 1/14/08 |
Still waiting for the snow to fall . . . the snow that was forecast over the weekend didn't make it. The temperature has dropped, and it's quite brisk out. So, we're not expecting any snow today. |
| 1/11/08 |
Yesterday morning brought some fresh snow to the Lakes Area. It was just a dusting, with light snow accumulations just under an inch. A slight chance of snowfalls will be with us throughout the weeknd. Drive carefully if you'll be on the road today since freezing drizzle may accompany the snow shower possibilty throughout the day. |
| 12/23/07 |
Yesterday we had a
light mist that caused extreme icing.
This morning we are getting light snow
and high winds are expected this afternoon.
Received about 3
inches of snow through
out the day. |

Wow, an Old Fashioned
Winter! Lots of snow, roads slippery
and congested, snow banks that our
Golden Retriever avoids. Should be
Great Sledding. It is about 4:00 and
we have received about 6
inches of snow today and it
is still snowing. Thought I would update
this before I went out to shovel snow. |
| 12/1/07 |
Twelve hours of snow
fall that dropped about 8
- 9 inches of snow. This a great start for our
Winter Fun. |
| 11/9/07 |
The first snow of
the season. Not much but the ground
is white, a sign of things to come.
We are hoping that This Is The Year! |

arrrived last night changing the entire landscape.
With the cold temperatures the last few nights,
we have been making ice too. |
| 11/13/06 |
First snow of the 2006 season with about 2
inches of snow. The weather forecast is cool
for the next few days, so it should hang around.
Maybe this is the YEAR?? |

Current Snowmobile Trail Conditions
2007 - 2008 Season
Brainerd Minnesota
|
| 3/10/08 |
Did ride this past weekend. The trails were still in great shape. Yes, we did encounter some bare spots, but overall they were really good. You can tell that the groomers are pulling the snow in from the edges to maintain the trails. With the warmer temps this week, we will see what happens.

| 2/25/08 |
The clubs have been out grooming the trails this past week and were in good shape. The warm weather did have an impact on the areas where the snow was thin, or brown. Snow is in the forecast for Tuesday and Thursday.
Hank |
| 2/18/08 |
Did ride this past weekend. The new snow that we received this past week made for good riding. The trail base is in good shape and has held up well. Where the trail is narrow, you will find the base to be thin, or down to the ground.

| 1/21/08 |
On Saturday rode to Ironton and Sunday was to Pine River on the Paul Bunyan Trail. You can tell the groomers have been out working the trails. They are doing their best to bring the snow back into the trail to cover the thin spots. With the cold weather, the trails have set up very nice. With easy riding, the trails will last. Hope we get some fresh snow this week.

| 1/14/08 |
Rode from Brainerd to North of Aitkin on Sunday. The trail base firmed up and iced up with the warm weather this past week. You quickly found out how warn your wear rods were. The inside of the corners and the high traffic areas were bare. The trails will last if people will be easy in and out of the throttle. You could tell where people had spun their tracks. Lets hope we get some more snow.

| 1/7/08 |
It was 40 and sunny on Sunday. Thin or brown spots on the trails took a hit. On the upside, snow is in the forecast for the majority of the week and into the weekend. Lets hope we get enough.

| 12/25/07 |
Merry Christmas. We received about 1 to 2 inches of snow the other day. It is hard to tell exactly how much with the blowing and drifting that was taking place. The club is still out grooming. The trails are in very good shape for this early in the season. The limited sled traffic has helped the trails.
Hank |
| 12/20/07 |
Snow on the trails is getting thin in spots. We have been out grooming to help this, but bare spots are starting to appear on the trail and at road crossings. But, all in all the trails are very good. One does still need to be cautious on the lakes. With the snow we received, slush is now present. Snow is in the forecast for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
