The big storm late last week left 19-plus inches of new snow, with a total of approximately 40 to 50 inches on the ground in parts of Bayfield and Douglas counties. Some northerns are being caught out from the Onion River. Fishing is almost at a standstill on inland lakes in Douglas County due to the added slush. Snowmobilers should be aware of the slush on the lakes, and some trails are bumpy.
Snowmobile conditions range from good to very good.
Snowmobilers are reminded to keep off the highways. Because of the snow last week, it has become difficult to get on the lakes to ice fish. Cross-country skiing conditions are good. In most places you can stay on top of the snow. People should be reminded to keep their dogs tied.
