Snowfall is back in western New York, but it's still not enough to bring back the business loss by one Wayne County restaurant owner who depends on snowmobile traffic.

This weekend brought a white winter to Wayne County.

"We get excited about snow because the snowmobilers come in, especially on Sunday's throughout the day," said Soula Grann.

Grann is the co-owner of Granskofski's Restaurant in Ontario. She says with the mild winter we've been having lately, so far that snowmobile traffic hasn't happened.

"The business is slower definitely because they are not able to ride. The snow also affects the snow plowers. We get a lot of them that usually come out to eat, but they're not plowing," said Grann.

The restaurant is right off Wayne County's snowmobile trail and for the last 14 years has been a hot spot for riders.

"Besides the regular breakfast and lunch, they'll have like hot chocolate, pies, and coffee. Just a little refueling and warm up and go back on the trail," she said.

According to the NYS Snowmobile Association's District Rep. Randy Phillips, the trails have been closed all winter long due to the lack of snow. Phillips says the closed trails have left a billion dollar dent in the economy statewide. In the Wayne County area, he says the impact has been estimated to be nearly $10 million.

"That would be the purchasing of snowmobiles, the gear, the oil. The purchasing of food, lodging, all of that," said Phillips.

He says hopefully those dollars can start flowing as Saturday will be the first day trails will be open.

"There's such pin up demand out there that they really need to open the trails and people will be out riding today," said Phillips.

Phillips says conditions still aren't ideal. More snow and cool temperatures would have to stick around in order to bring enough business to the area. Phillips says snow and cold weather will keep the trails open. He advises snowmobilers to check the New York State's Snowmobile Association for trail updates. He also encourages to stay off the trails if they are closed.
