Snow conditions history for North Woods
Thank you to all the snow conditions reporters who provide these updates for us.
14 March 2023
We'd accumulate3d a couple inches of rather dense wet snow by last evening and this was topped off by a few inches of nice powdery snow overnight - maybe 4+ inches average with more or less in windswept areas - and there's a little more snow in the forecast for today. The grassier trails of the North Woods should offer decent conditions for a Spring ski before putting the equipment away!

Conditions remain pretty good with a few inches of new powder through the past week, including about an inch early morning yesterday. Very cold temperatures have frozen up most of the wet spots and dried things up a bit. It's still very cold this morning - around 3 F - but the winds have calmed and it will be generally sunny today with temperatures rising to the low 30's by mid-day. The moon is also about 98% full so, finally good trail conditions coincident with a full moon if you'd like to get in some night skiing! Conditions should hold up through the weekend and Monday but rising temperatures and rain forecast again for next week ... looks like this is the weekend to get out.

Snow was getting a little wet by Wednesday evening but temperatures fell quickly overnight with additional snow accumulating an additional 3" to 5" of powder early morning Thursday thru Friday morning. I expected a little more snow overnight but, it hasn't arrived - nevertheless, trail conditions are very good. Temperatures are already on the way back up and are mild - today would be the day to get out into the North Woods and surrounding Kooser and Roaring Run areas.

6” -8” on the trails with some bare areas and drifting in windblown areas - all-in-all, pretty good conditions on most trails but still some wet spots and rocks. Temperatures should remain cold for the next couple days with a little additional accumulation in the forecast

Colder temperatures and snow on-and-off yesterday resulted in about an inch of accumulation and surfaces are beginning to firm up after having another wet week .... coverage isn't suitable for skiing but temperatures are expected to remain cold through this week with some snow forecast today and tomorrow - maybe up to 3 inches - so, we may have better trail conditions in the next few days.

Conditions were looking pretty good the beginning of the week with a few additional inches of snow on Monday but warm temperatures returned by mid-week with rain on Thursday and we had to start over yesterday with wet surfaces when the snow arrived. . about 3-4 inch accumulation sn far on the grassy trails of the North Woods but not so much on the rockier and worn trails with wet spots remaining and no significant snow forecast for the weekend. Colder temperatures should remain for the rest of the weekend and continue to firm up the base - nice winter scenery and decent coverage if you stick to the grassy trails. The DCNR Foresters were out earlier in the week and cleared all large down trees from the trails - Thanks to them!

We received a few inches of snow Friday early morning and through the day along with an additional dusting overnight but, the trails were very wet and didn't have a chance to freeze prior to arrival of the snow. Very nice winter scenery but conditions aren't so good except on the grassier trails such as the North Woods Loop northeast of the meadow ... rockier, well worn trails remain wet and without sufficient cover.

The North Woods received about 4 inches of heavy, wet snow early in the week followed by cold temps thru the week which helped to dry up the base in time for the snow yesterday which amounted to about 6 additional inches of dry powder. Conditions, especially on the grassy trails of the North Woods and surrounding areas, should be pretty nice. Temperatures in the mid-20's are expected today with some breeze ... a little chilly but with sunshine. Remember that. bear season begins today thru Tuesday, including Sunday, so be aware and dress with some high-viz clothing.
