TRAIL/WEATHER CONDITIONS

Hello Icy Wednesday...

Well for those of you that read our blog yesterday...we had posted that the Red River Valley Area here in Bulcher was under an ICE STORM WARNING...well believe it or not, this is one forecast that was actually fulfilled....boy, do we have ice...late yesterday, it started sleeting a lot. Overnight, with below freezing temperatures, has created a layer of ice this morning, making driving out on the roads by Bulcher very dangerous. As of 8:55 a.m., we have a current temperature of 17 degrees. Wind chill is making it feel like 10 degrees though...despite the cold temperatures and current icy conditions, the sun is out in full force this morning. We have had no further precipitation this morning. We are expecting a high temperature of 39 degrees today, so it will only barely get above freezing today; however, the sun will likely start to melt some of this ice away by day's end, but we'll have to keep you posted. For those of you that don't have to go out today...take a BAD WEATHER DAY...and tune up the bike for this weekend's gorgeous forecasted temperatures.

Please note that due to extremely dry conditions...a BURN BAN is now in EFFECT for Cooke County and thus at RRMT, Inc. NO open pit campfires or open outdoor grilling permitted.

RRMT, Inc. will be OPEN this weekend, Saturday January 31 and Sunday February 1 with park operation hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. All Members, Guests, and Visitors Welcome This Weekend! Please note: RRMT, Inc. is now observing fall/winter park hours.

Happy ICE DAY... STAY WARM!

RRMT, Inc. Staff

P.S. The annual TORO Race put on by the Red River Dirt Riders is just around the corner....Sunday, February 8! Please note that the park will be CLOSED Monday, February 2 - Sunday, February 8 for race prep & race.
