Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Wednesday, January 25, 2023

After weeks of having little to none for snowmobiling, it seems as if things are swinging in a more positive direction.

Some clubs are starting to report some better riding conditions; primarily around the Highmarket and Tug Hill area.

There is more snow in the forecast for this week. In fact, the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Tug Hill region, Central New York and the Western Adirondacks through Thursday evening.

Up to a foot of snow is forecasted in the heaviest predictions, mainly across Tug Hill. Some ice accumulation is also likely, forecasters say.
