Looks good in the Hurons. Not so much down here. Working my wood for now, garden when the soil warms up a bit. We did have quite a bit more snow than normal, hopefully next year is good too.

About 6 inches on top of mud, another 14 in the forecast. Wettest heaviest snow I have seen up here. Went to brush it off the windshield and it slid off all in once piece. Low pitch metal roof of cabin, it slid off by itself almost one huge chunk.

Lots forecast for Ironwood all the way to Watersmeet. Pretty much along US 2. All thanks to this sucker…
Wind will pick up too as that low tracks east of the UP. Snow for da western yoopers only.

Re: Am I really in Duluth?
Yep, though barely deeper than yesterday. Maybe warm ground and warm air melted a bunch. Debating whether to go clear this trail, branches will be hanging down due to the wet heavy snow so I can go through and clear them all out. That or just ski around the property.

Re: Am I really in Duluth?
Hard to ski these conditions.
Re: Am I really in Duluth?
Used to try… never much luck with klister. Hate messing up my bases. Usually stop skiing one or two days earlier than most… but I’m ok with that.
Others have luck, fun with it tho.

Re: Am I really in Duluth?
This is no klister conditon. Put on red/silver and it gripped fine. Problem is snow is sticky and heavy as can be and breaking trail sink so much and then have 20 lbs of snow atop my skis. Combat nato will handle this better but even with those skis this is a lot of really wet snow.
