Windy and no new snow

Its 28 degrees and very windy with no new snow. We had about an inch of fine new snow yesterday, cant say I am thrilled with the weather forcast for this coming weekend as it says some light rain in it but we still have tons of snow. No way to tell which way it will go. Still all trails remain incredible. I did end up at Bois Blanc Island yesterday, Put my sled in the trailer and unloaded in Cheboygan and headed over to the island on the 5 mile tree line which was nice and clear sailing over to there. Lots of snow but being by myself and not wanting to get in trouble I only rode on tracks that were already there. There are only 72 people that live on the island in the winter and that is no place to need help at especially with limited cell service.  As the afternoon went on the winds picked up heavy duty along with the white out conditions and by the time I headed back I was a bit leary of heading back across. Thank goodness the had a tree line but it was so white out I had to go to each tree and look hard for the next one as there was no way I was going to lose site of the last tree before I could see the next one. When I was out there you have no idea where shore is and which way to go if you cant see the next guide tree and I would have turned around and went back if that didn’t happen. I certainly was happy to finally see shore on the mitten side of lake huron. Made it back home about 10 after a slow drive back as it was snowing and blowing on the highway too. All in all a great day and got to see a few friends on the island too. That was the first time I have been there in 3 year. Below are pics I took on my ride.  Thanks for checking in.
