livin' on the b103 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Power is out at my house, running on auto genny. power reported out on South Lake as well. That's all I know. Not going home until Thursday, then loading up sleds in new trailer and heading north or to Quebec. It's over before it started here.

Nunz Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I was in Kinmount yesterday and the rail trail looked pretty bad as far as snow cover on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 You know it's bad when I am trailering to Ride!! Will be like the bad old days when Teener and I were snow chasers. Looking forward to the adventures. News says 4400 homes without power. I'll update if the power comes on earlier than predicted. Livin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuyuna Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We are completely wiped out in Haliburton. It's almost like starting all over. Hoping for a complete turn around February. As far as sledding is concerned, I'll live and die in the HCSA region - no more trailering for me. I spent over 30 years snowmobiling out of Queensville / Holland River and Haliburton was always the benchmark snowmobile location. The last few back to back wipe-out winters is indicative of major problems... and I think most know where I am going with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Did 5K form home last year, under 1K so far this year, all of that on less than ideal conditions, Cayuna is correct, there was/is no base to the trails so it will be like a new season if we do get snow.

Nutter Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I just stopped in back at the cottage here at Howland Junction north of Kinmount, since I was working in the area, was going to Post power is back on here but it went off just as I was typing lol Trail base on the rail bed behind our place is taking a beating with this weather, going to need a lot of cold and snow to bring it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livin' on the b103 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hey Ian!! Nothing at your dads or my place!! And far, far, beyond. Give me a call or PM me. Not sure where we are going, but if we can ride together that would be great. For the others I said I'd update on the power hydro is still out to some 3000 customers in the area including us. At least it is starting to snow... wouldn't hold my breath though! Livin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Wow this really sucks. I use to always count on hailburton and surrounding area's at end of January into early February. Last year managed a few rides in before the big feb melt came, that ended everything. Hopefully second of half winter is better. Maybe have to try my luck at ice fishing until snow returns.

gobills Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 What a mess!! Ill be outside burning white pine branches all day tomorrow. Mother nature is such a pain sometimes! I can only assume the trails around here are going to be a real mess if they open again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
