Winter Road Conditions and Reporting

2020-10-06

WINTER ROAD MAINTENANCE STANDARDS

( See  https://mglakeroadgroup.com/resources/ for detail. )

Our road is NOT maintained to municipal standards, so expect potentially different driving conditions on Fire Route 130 and the Spurs. ( the level of winter maintenance of the road system is determined by the membership )

 

4 WHEEL DRIVE / ALL WHEEL DRIVE

For your safety on our Road System you need a 4 wheel drive / All Wheel drive vehicle.

WINTER TIRES

You need to be equipped with “Winter Tires”.

All Season Tires are NOT designed for snow and ice.

The rubber compound for these tires becomes very hard at temperatures at less than 7c and provides less traction than winter tires.

The rubber compound in winter tires stays softer in lower temperatures, and with special tread designs provides better traction than All Season tires.

ROAD REPORTS

This page will provide an update on when the road was last serviced by snow plowing and sanding, and the roads, spurs and hills that have been serviced.

It is each member’s responsibility to monitor local weather conditions and current highway and road conditions to determine whether to use the road.

We do not provide LIVE road report information as we are a “Volunteer Organization”.

It is your responsibility based on all available information to determine whether to use the road or not.

NOTICE: There are many variables contributing to the condition of the road and conditions can change quickly.  Use the road at your own risk and use your own judgment regarding its condition.
