This is our typical January thaw...it’s nothing new...yes it sucks, but there’s plenty of winter left. It’s only 2 days worth of plus temps. Remember last year??? That was a sh!t show! Very true. Vary rare to miss Jan thaw only happens once every 15 year's or so. Hopefully we can re cover and last until mid march. Can't be a repeat of last two years.

I was in Exeter early Jan barely any snow. Last week they had 3 straight days of lake effect trails went from red to yellow to green in about a week. Will happen again when temps drop.

Baylaker Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Dr Doug on TWN says rest of January will be warmer. Not necessarily plus temps, but not frigid cold like it has been. We’ll bounce back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 If we don't really recover meaning I can get 4 more weeks after this mid summer rain storm. I'm seriously going to consider getting out of the sport. Last year in mid ontario it was family day we were done. This rain really sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This rain really sucks The reality is if we want more than two to three weeks of riding while we live in the south a trailer is the only way. I was spoiled for many years with a 12 week plus winter riding from home, and would be upset if we only got 7 or 8, now my expectations of riding from the driveway have to be lowered to 2 or three.

Move up here man! Seriously though I live in wasaga and if I lived any further south would sell the sled. Two young kids means it would be impossible to get out if I had to drive somewhere in the car on top of my ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need some new technology that would prevent snow from melting at higher temperatures, if south is going to survive long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame it on the whiners in general that detest the cold. Years ago the 'chipmunk' that does the weather on Global was all excited about the thaw & rain that was in the forecast in the next few days. Well we headed for the Corridor & points west for the week. Sitting in our motel room in Geraldton, watching the news & it wasn't pretty in SW Ontario. One segment showed a homeowner in the Chatham area dealing w/ a couple of feet of water in his basement. W/ the large amount of snow blocking runoff, the rainfall was filling people's basements. So much for thaws & rain during the winter months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Pussy Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Just dog $hit in my back yard. This is a complete start over in D5. At least 3 weeks, and there will be another thaw so it will never get going. Top of D9 is our only hope. Trip booked for Sudbury Gowganda, New Liskeard, Temagami. Not looking good there either. Getting tired of D15. BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reved Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 When was the last time we had a good winter storms, not just lake affect? Hard to recall 12" or more of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoso Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Rained hard here for about an hour, just a drizzle now and sat says we are done with rain at 2 am, cold and snow to follow, these trails will survive and actually should be pretty good by saturday. Swamps will actually freeze properly now after being packed and rained on, may even see some of them getting a groomer through by mid to late next week. All in all I predict district 1 will have some good riding by tuesday once the groomers get back in action. I think this is a minor setback with a few positive aspects. All of this is predicated on getting the 40cm of snow in the forecast for the next week, and it is imperative we get at least 20 to 25 on fri sat.

BruteMan Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Kempville Klub is confident as of 9pm that most of not all of their trail base is still there after the main rain and as long as they do get the 20+ cm on friday night you'll have something to ride on Sunday but it will take a groom to get it all locked in. We are offering to do a overnight groom if the club will allow it they tend to not like us out alone at night incase something happens like the recent 24V blow out on the PB.

I'll know more tomorrow night they are hosting a wing night at the club so most of the club will be there to talk and figure out the plans and the snow hopefully will be coming down by then if you like wings and beer pop by and talk with the guys you'll get first hand idea of how it is shaping up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are fairly new to the area, North of Perth( Snow Road) usually has a much longer season then south of us. I have seen grass showing in Perth and groomers running in Snow Road( hence the name) I run the groomer out of Perth , if you have any questions about trails and such. I can help, And you are right our trails should have been closed , i sent a e mail to the pres, it should a district decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
