brainerd would be a no go. lakes are water covered ditches are full of water and only about 8 " of snow in the woods.

I'm not sure what's up north but like blu said... I pulled my fish house off last night in 8" of water. Was around Aitkin late yesterday and the trails there are brown too. Going to take a real good dump to salvage the last month of riding.

I would stay home and go another weekend. If there is any snow left anywhere, the cold temps will turn it into ice. This system pretty much ruined all riding on and off trail until a good dumping of snow hits. The trails in the UP might be decent if they get a few inches of snow. I was going to go there this weekend and ride logging trails but after the warm up I'm waiting until they get a good foot or more of fresh snow.

Snow is coral reef right now. The melt is over, and we've got dust over crust, but we need snow before it's rideable again.

NW Wisconsin wasn't too great either. Was in Minong and Solon Springs area last Saturday. Lot's of water, mud, and slush. We need snow

The Outlook: Essentially, we expect temperatures to remain generally colder than normal the next three months, with a great deal of variability that is typical of spring weather. Snowfall is, on balance, expected to be close to or above the long term average, with the usual variability across the region. The higher amounts are expected from the southern Red River Valley on east across the west and north central Minnesota lakes country, and possibly in the Devils Lake Basin. At the mid point of this winter season, it looks as though the winters of 1952/53, 1978/79 and 1992/93 are most similar to the current winter in temperature and precipitation. It is important to note that while every year is unique, large scale climate patterns do result in somewhat similar weather patterns, making the use of analog years feasible.
Tables of temperature, precipitation and snowfall are below. These tables are based on the years noted on the previous paragraphs. The following tables are specific to the UND/NWS Grand Forks Climate Station.

February to April Averages*
Climo Composite Outlook
Max(F) 36.3 30.2 to 34.9
Min(F) 17.2 11.8 to 16.5
Pcpn(In) 2.7 2.7 to 4.1
Snow(In) 15.9 13.3 to 21.2
The following tables are specific to the Fargo Area

February to April Averages*
Climo Composite Outlook
Max(F) 37.5 33.1 to 37.5
Min(F) 18.8 14.1 to 18.8
Pcpn(In) 3.2 3.3 to 5.6
Snow(In) 18.6 15.2 to 25.5
*Some data are rounded. These are expected ranges based on the above technique and should not be used as an explicit forecast.
Generally speaking, the remainder of the winter season on into the spring will encompass tremendous variability. The coldest months, that are the ones with the greatest departure from normal, are expected to be March and April. Total snow will be close to or above average. Statistically normal snowfall is between 15 and 20 inches, with March having the greatest climatological averages. As is often the case in weak La Nina signals, the March and April time frame tilts predominantly to the cold side of climatology. Looking at the individual winters, the heavier snowfalls were mainly across the south and central Red River Valley, east through the Lakes Country.

Lake vermilion area is great! brandonwestgaard and I went out this weekend and the trails were great. The Taconite was a bit beat up and had some icy corners, but the other trails were just awesome.
PM me with any questions if you're interested in the area.

Lake Vermillion
The snow around the cook/lake vermillion area is awesome! Went with luvtoride saturday for a nice 150 mile ride, nice and fast on good snow. Could have easily done well over 200 if the rest of the group could have kept up!!!
