Wife and me were seriously considering moving to Florida until my son had some serious health issues. Now when I think about it though, I think I would really miss the changing seasons. I love summer and winter, just the in between sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He worked on the front desk @ the motel we were staying in. He said they had a miserable warm winter. He didn't mind the cold (for them) & enjoyed the seasonal changes.

02Sled Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Maybe not over yet... guess what... the forecast seems to be wrong so far. A couple of days ago they issued a severe weather warning for 50mm of rain by Tues, then earlier today they had the severe weather warning but had rolled it back to 25mm of rain. A couple of hours ago they cancelled the severe weather alert. Who knows what will actually happen and what will or won't survive. Take a toss at the dart board is as accurate as the forecast.

True dat...isn't it sickening to listen to them? That donkey on Global News, Anthony Farnell, is ready to strap on his tinkerbell wings and fly right outta the room when he delivers one of these "wonderful" forecasts. Idiots.

I've had a hate on for "The Chipmunk" for about 10 years. He was all excited about a thaw/rain cycle a week before our Northern Blastoff. "How small will these snowbanks be by next Tuesday?" On Mon' we were in Geraldton watching TWN. There was a segment about the flooding in SW Ontario. The 1 homeowner they were talking to had 2 or 3 feet of water in their basement .

02Sled Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 This lousy weather stuff is really getting old. It scuttled our plans for a Lake Muskoka, Joseph and Rosseau cruise last summer due to too frequent rain and now the sledding season due too many days of thaw between snow. Those damn Russians and their weather machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have fields that are currently under water and could run a seadoo thru them. Ground is frozen so it just runs to low spots and backs up. Lots of water flowing for middle of feb.

scottyr Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I am sitting at the Westway in Cochrane right now and it is freezing drizzle. The trails look mint though. We got here around 4pm and decided to have a couple of drinks and relax instead of going riding. We are going to give it hell for the rest of the week.
