Saw a guy riding thru town in eagle river on a brand new skidoo at noon. There wasn’t much snow left on the trail

Monday took a lot away, today it’s 32 and sunny, warming back up the rest of the week until Sunday when it cools down again. Get out the ice cleats, it’s really slippery in the morning. Yesterday I got 1/3 of the way up my driveway and started slipping, the Tahoe ended up sliding all the way down into the lower driveway and did a 180 before I came to a stop 3 ft away from our other truck. Just no stopping it once it got going, lucked out on that little escapade! IMG_2677.jpeg

Glad there was no damage as those ice rides can be scary. Been tip-toeing down our drive the last couple days and just got back from sanding it with the ATV and that slid down a ways a couple times until I got the sand down (should have known better, as this year I did not put on the v-bar chains), just seems more slippery than usual. I can tell ya sand was a heavy seller at the store today and it was not for weight in the vehicles that I loaded.

Yes, I should have known better as well.

Even though Vilas is technically still open until 3/31 they have already pulled many of the trail signs in and around town. The ice around the shoreline of the lakes has started to recede due to the warming of the shoreline. It’s been fairly sunny up here this March, more than I can remember in a few years. Unfortunately this is a nuisance snow.

Yep, even though we did not get to ride as much as we would have liked to, I'm tired of the snow now. I'm looking forward to the boat in the water and the ATV on the trails.

Storm keeps tracking East. Models are ALL over the place. Looks like vilas might miss out on a lot of the fun
