Think I’m planning to go up next weekend. Funny, it’s 20F and snowing here in Kaukauna right now. Crazy what a difference a week makes.

You are correct Paul you wouldn't of guessed it was in the upper 40's last weekend. The new snow pretty much erased that. Trails are a little more icy but and some of the roads are thin now. I keep seeing people asking how are the roads. Once you get to late February into March you should start to expect roads to get thin. Yesterday trails were pretty darn good. A few thin spots where the snow melted away. A few pictures from the ride from St.Germain to Lake Tomahawk with the little one.

We were under a winter weather advisory for 1-3" today. Started snowing around 11am and we ended up with a little over 2", if you add up each day since last Tuesday we have at least 8-10" of new snow so as you can imaging trails are in great shape once again. One warm day coming on Friday at 44 and then cold for awhile, looks to warm again around 3/6 with full sun but that is a ways off. Getting to that time of year where you never know what is next for weather but I'm seeing a lot of 30's and 40's after 3/6. Just saying.......

Seeing the same as you but I have definitely taken a wait and see approach with the weather. Seems like the weather guessers are more wrong than they have ever been. With that being said we are getting ready into bonus season, anything after the 1st is a nice bonus.

Totally agree with your Hermie on bonus riding after 3/1. This would be the year that you could still ride out in the woods until late March though.

Done a lot of riding in the UP the last few seasons because on no snow in WI. Nothing against the UP but I have missed riding in WI over the last couple seasons. I hope we can squeak out a couple more good weekends without having to go so far.
