Trail Conditions Report
Expected  upcoming  Weekend Trail Conditions are expected to be
 Fair 
depending on your tolerance level
________________
Atlanta Gas Price
as of 2/2/10
$2.70 for 87 octane



Trailways are currently in Fair condition with just enough snow for some sledding.
. A little more snow just north  and also south of the Atlanta area warrants fair conditions.  There are some periodic worn spots but at least we've got temps keeping the icy base frozen up nicely.

We've currently got about 3-5 inches of frozen pack off-trail. Cross the ski's for luck, we could use some more snow! 

Today, (Wednesday) we're to get another dusting of maybe an inch of new snow. No significant accumilations are in the near forcast.

The remainder of the week is to bring daytime high temps nearing the freezing mark and nighttime lows dropping into the teens.  Saturday and Sunday's daytime highs drop a touch into the mid to low 20's and then into the single digits/low teens at night.

After today's light dusting of snow, the skies hold out until the weekend when flurries are in the forcast.

Mark the calender for February 20th & 21st for another Sled Dog Race at Clear Lake Park hosted by the  Great Lakes Sled Dog Association (GLSDA).
