Last report I heard was 8 to 10 inches at the cape and 12 to 14 inland for tomorrow's storm. Sunday's they are saying snow to rain. Doesn't bode well. Time to throw the studs on and wait...

Tears is rideable for sure. We had a warm up last night and 99% of the snow and ice is melted. The fire roads are muddy and have ice patches. The singletrack has soaked up all the snow and rain like a sponge. Did a Christmas day quickie......
The roots are a bit slippery - you have to hit them dead nuts or your tires will wander.
Due to the recent snow and heavy winds, there is debris everywhere. Lot's of low flying branches waiting to pistol whip you & plenty of sticks and branches on the trail. I stopped counting after the 40th dismount to clear the trail of branches, limbs and debris.
Also noticed a lot of the thorns are now bent over and leaning into the trail. If you go riding be prepared to stop at a moments notice, wear sunglasses to avoid all the LOW branches and consider using OFF because the ticks can be active above freezing. It may also help to have some slime tubes or extra tubes if you are not riding tubeless. I would imagine Otis and Yarmouth are in the same condition.
