There was enough snow to close schools throughout Kenosha County Tuesday, but not enough to open the county snowmobile trail system.
Despite the sizable snow, especially in Western Kenosha County, the warm weather earlier this week means the ground is too soft and moisture saturated to ride on and there is water pooled in some fields, says the recorded message from Tuesday morning at the snowmobile trail hotline. And the weather is supposed to warm up again the remainder of the week.
You can check the status of the trail system by calling the hotline at 671-4944. The trail system status is also displayed at kenoshacountysnowmobiling.org.
