Should this Trail Report not be updated when you visit this page,  check out the National Weather Service site out of Gaylord for the Atlanta area 7-day forcast to see what's in the immediate forcast as well as current weather conditions. 

Trailways holding much of their frozen base but took another shot at some nasty deterioration on Monday when high temps got to near 50º.
We're on a trend that is keeping high temps in the mid 30's and nighttime temps in the mid 20's. This is helping keep the base together for the most part but for easy sledding, the conditions just aren't there. For the die hards maybe, but not for those who don't like puddle jumping here and there. Off trail the snow is about 2-3" of hard pack in the woodlands, out in open area's where snow was thinned, we now have bare ground showing.

This trend is to continue on through to the beginning of the approaching new work week. Temps are to drop a tad come mid week.

Precipitation forecasts are calling for a bit of snow showers this afternoon (Thursday) with only a trace of accumilation expected. The next chance of snow showers come Tuesday when a cold front introduces intself in to the area.

Daytime Highs on through to the close of the weekend should give temps in the mid to high  30's.

Nighttime Lows should drop the mercury down around the mid 30's throughout with exception to Friday night when temps are to drip like a rock in to the single digits.

All in all, at least we're hanging on to temperatures that won't totally illiminate the snow base making it prime for the next bought of snow. Whenever that is.

ELK VELVET SUPPLIMENTS are available for an array of ailments and overall good health.  Google search "Elk Antler Velvet Pills" to search the net. Or, if you are in the area, stop by the Thunder Bay Resort in Hillman. They keep a selection of Elk Velvet suppliments. Even for your pet! 
      Consider all the minerals and nutrients the elk uses to get those antlers so flippin' huge and strong in a manner of mere months. Side effects which usually appear in Autumn, may include an urge to bugle, scrape the ground and head butt any thing or any body that comes near your sighted cow or harem. 

Elk Bugle -
to send chills down the spine.
