Maplelag received its first accumulating snowfall of the year when 2-3″ of snow fell Friday night. The ground was warm, with the first flakes melting but cooled down enough for an inch or two to stick to the trails and a chance to log the first ski of the year. Temp last few nights cold enough to set up ice on some of the smaller ponds and sloughs!! Definitely the earliest that has happened in Maplelag history. Of course it is early in the year to have snow that sticks with leaves still on the trees etc. but we are keeping an eye on a potential weather system for Sunday night that could result in more snow!! Quite a change in a 24 hour period!
