Greetings from Aroostook County...

Overall:
Wednesday and Thursday will pretty much create havoc with woods trails as freshets are running and there are many washes and water holes, however, for the most part the base is still 3-4 feet deep or more in some areas and for diehard sledders there are at least two weekends left but expect to hit mud and bare ground in many areas. If you are crust cruizing you will have to be very selective in your timing as cold nights harden the base and there have been lots of burnt sliders recently.
Lakes and water bodies are fading fast with lots of slush although there is still good blue ice in places but run off impacts the water bodies so caution should prevail.
As this season melts down be sure to thank the hundreds of landowners that have made your winter recreation possible and thank all those projects that have done an outstanding job once again and put Aroostook County Maine on the top ten list in north America for snowmobiling.
