The clock struck 12 noon yesterday and I saw sleds on the trails!  Not a ton but hardy first day of the season riders!  As a friend posted on Facebook….“you can tell it winter because I saw my first snowmobile!”

Now the really good news.  SNOW & lots of it is in the forecast starting later this afternoon.  National Weather Service predicts 6-10 inches of SNOW. With potential of 12 inches in northern Vilas County.  Click here for the complete National Weather Service report
