Currently Grooming some of Dickey Road and will head back to the Inn from Dickey Road on Essex Road

6:30am – It is currently 31 degrees on the back porch of the inn. The National Weather Service station for Essex is not currently updating, it hasn’t since 8pm on Dec 30. Not since last year! At the last station update, we were forecasted for a high of 31 and mostly cloudy skies. We received 1 inch of snow in the last 24 hours. Our settled base is around 34 inches.

So far, Starlight and Spring Hill have turned out nicely. The groomer is heading up Essex Road towards Kendi’s Crossing.  If conditions and temperatures permit, we should get most of the trails beautified today!
