A few people have been asking if there's still enough snow on the Gunflint Trail for skiing and snowmobling. The short answer is "YES". There will probably be plenty of snow here for the foreseeable future too!
The measuring stick Lin is holding is an official "snow stick" from the National Weather Service office in Duluth; it's 36 inches long and as you can see there's something over 36 inches of snow behind it. The official Duluth Weather Service website is www.crh.noaa.gov/dlh/ and it has a local forecast option so you can click on a spot on the map and get a seven day forecast for that area; you can also get reports from the snow spotters in the Duluth area. During the snowstorm this week Lin got to make snowfall reports just about every hour on the hour - we got 9.5 inches!
