Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Thursday, January 18, 2024

A monstrous lake effect snow band continued its assault on the North Country Thursday morning, particularly between Lowville and Watertown, NY.

It appears that several clubs are still reporting some hazards (tree limbs and etc.) in the wake of last-week’s wind storm.

Furthermore, it appears there have been numerous reports of slush and water holes up around Tabolts Corners, however; local crews throughout the region have been out inspecting and clearing the trails.
