This coulda ended a lot worse. Check your back.

To be fair, it looks like in this case the stump wasn't on the side of the trail, it was on the trail according to the article. I'm not sure how the groomers missed that. -
Where the "jealous" emoticon? 😁

Your friend in the background looks like he could have used a little privacy.. at least wait until he's done before taking a picture!!💩 🤣

+15 and sunny in the Ottawa area yesterday.. didn't get the rain they predicted, but all trails are closed now. Was hoping we'd make to march break. Time to get the trailer out!
-
We got about 6 inches of fresh stuff this morning. Not as dense as I would have liked, but not bad either..

We didn't get anywhere near the amount of rain (was supposed to be 10mm from 7-8pm!! but whenever I checked it was nowhere near that).. I think it actually stopped raining alltogether during that hour to be honest. At 5 this morning was still around 0 I believe (unless I was lucid dreaming) so certainly wasn't +8 at 3-4am.. no real loss of snow around the yard, and some snow in the forecast!.. if (and that's a big "if") the 2 week forecast holds true we should be good for another 2 weeks of riding.. my local trails are still yellow (although I wouldn't venture out until we get some covering.. driveway was awfully slick with some powder snow on top of the ice sheath..

Okay so to add insult to injury the Weathernetwork is misleading. The 7 day forecast shows highs of 0 Tuesday and -1 Wednesday, but when I check the hourly forecast.. it's actually going up to +10 overnight.. from 12am to 4am it's going to be +10.. how is +10 NOT the forecasted high temp??? I felt slightly optimistic thinking it was only going to be slightly above freezing, but now I think we're toast, unfortunately..
-
Forecast still holding at +2 for two days and 10-15mm of rain here.. not sure how that will play out.. will it melt what we have or just turn the trails into an ice rink..curious to see how this plays out...

I think we did decently down in the Ottawa area. I think my driveway has about 6-8 inches accumulated, and that's after the initial snow was absorbed by all the water. The field trails I drove by yesterday were still strips of white in the middle of corn stubble, so there was still *some* semblance of a trail still holding. Depends on the location.. around Richmond even they were mud, unfortunately... Next week we only have a 1 day blip with a bit of rain..fingers crossed it doesn't expand..
-
Rain started late last night (south) Ottawa area. Still +5 and pouring. Still have lots of snow on my front lawn though, but trails where already brown on the weekend... Going out in a few hours and will drive by the trails to see how bad they are...
-
Been +5 since around 2 here.. clubs flipped the trails to red late-afternoon.. 5 sleds just went by,,, smh

I unfortunately can't confirm.. the only claim to fame Dad mentioned about KL was the gold mines and the fact that Alan Thicke was from there as well (although I think they missed each other by about 10 years or something).. I think Dad moved to Ottawa around the late 50's.. My aunt/uncle had a cottage on Butler Lake that we used to stay at.. It's no longer in the family unfortunately, but have great memories...

Wait... did you buy RAMSOMAIR's Mach? That was fast!!!
