We're having the best/worst storm of the winter today, accumulations of from 8 to 12 inches of snow, forecasted, with winds up to 29 mph, for blowing snow, poor visibility. Our neighboring county has requested that no one travel at all until the blowing/snowing stops.
This will dampen our plans to run two teams to Pentoga in the morning with visitors. We doubt they would be able to make it here, let alone for us to clear trails to make it out of here with sleds. so we'll wait until it calms down.
We haven't heard officially but we're guessing that the ski jumps were cancelled today and jumpers will have to stay around a bit longer. My son and family went off the road in their 4wheel drive Sequoia today, but were able to be towed out of the ditch.
Yooper /Iditarod veteran, Ed Stielstra, won the UP 200 today. I believe it was two years ago that his wife, Tasha, won it. Congratulations to the Stielstra kennel. Thankfully this storm comes at the tail end of the three race weekend.
