Poo Man Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old. My plan was to wait 4 years and pick up a couple of 2 up sleds and get rid of my old girl. If the winters keep this up that won't be happening. Way to much expense to be able to ride for maybe a month a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use to average 2000 km's a season no trailing. hopefully winter returns and stays for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 When I was walking the trail yesterday, there was maybe 5 or 6 inches of base (thinning @ the edges). I've been told the 'damage' is even worse further north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Im not sure by looking at the forecast short term and long term, the south will recoup from this.. And another warm up and rain this weekend. I took my rose coloured glasses off long ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have confidence the dire predictions by the weather network are off and accuweather is more in line with 3mm of rain total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Pussy Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I am pretty confident that the 158 km I have ridden so far in D5 is it. It would be much more if not for the DOO DESS failure that destroyed the Saturday ride and the un-preparedness of another buddy on Sunday that wasted the morning. I don't understand how people can not be ready to go when there were months to prepare. I guess I need the balls to ride alone. BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the time for sure that something like the DESS failing or something worse will fail. I know what you mean about being prepared though. I went riding for the first time this season with a friend of mine a week or so ago. My sleds were ready to go but did have a short delay digging out a bit of snow in front of the trailer. Maybe about 15 minutes. Had a great ride that day. The next morning we were riding early. We had another friend who was supposedly coming up to ride with us but didn't say when. We think he expected us to wait for him even though we had no idea until when. 11:00 and he was still on his way up just getting to Barrie. We had been out for a while by then His sled was on an open trailer and hadn't been touched since last spring. It was going to be a challenge for him to get to and drag the trailer out. LOTS of digging. He had the battery and the sled had over a foot of snow on it. Mid afternoon he had the sled started. I suspect he was annoyed that we weren't around waiting for him. We took a short cut back to go for a ride with him. He had left for home about 15 minutes before we got back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidooboy Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 looking at the long term forecast for central Michigan (think west of central/southern Ontario, weather coming to the east) after thursday of this week, the next 11 days have 9 over freezing temps for highs. this may end the southern/central riding for our Ontario friends. be prepared to trailer, if you want to ride. your results may vary.

thetorches Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 We got 3 cm last night and about 7 cm today in Oshawa. Still coming down pretty good. Watching the weather report, it looks like its only snowing in east Toronto and southern Durham Region. Anybody else getting snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poo Man Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 It's snowing here now but nothing serious. Seems like we get half an inch or so everyday but no enough to groom. I was hoping we get some good accumulation tomorrow, maybe see some limited trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Been snowing here all day, really fine though. Barely an inch.
