Just an FYI for anyone camping in the BWCA, there will be a mid-January rain (yes rain) tonight and into early this weekend. I was at the end of the Gunflint trail yesterday and there was not much snow at all (in Grand Marais there was brown grass everywhere). I was doing some exploratory bushwhacking skiing near Seagull Lake and kept blasting rocks with my skis. Although there was certainly enough snow to pull a sled, I would either walk or snowshoe. You could still easily drive unplowed roads if you had a truck. Yet another wimpy winter.

Thanks for the update!

We're headed up that way at the end of the month. Hope things improve some by then.

I'm headed up tomorrow and thinking maybe I should take my ice skates;)

Anyone know how to do a Winter Dance? This Arkansas weather is driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plan accordingly with the potential for icy roads.
