reevester Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Seasonal and wetter means snow I hope. The weather doctor said a cold pattern develops near Christmas and then a good deep freeze into January. I'm going with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidooboy Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 this really is worse case scenario for clubs, especially in the north. couple early snows, gets everyone pumped, the inevitable warm up, then the holidays, where hardly anyone can groom due to time and breakdown parts, repair constraints. then the inevitable storm that dumps a ton, and the follow up knock out punch, about jan 5-10th... ALL THE PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING THE LOGISTICS, WONDERING WHY THE TRAILS ARE NOT TABLE TOP, MID SEASON CONDITIONS, BITCHING ALL OVER FORUMS, AND SOCIAL MEDIA HOW TERRIBLE THE CLUBS, DISTRICTS, AND OFSC IS BEING RUN.

none Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Merry Christmas to all ! Bill , Thanks for all you do for sledding and us sledders. I always rely on first hand reports for conditions and weather ; almanacs are for reading while on the john. Stay safe and off the trails until you see green !

J-Fly Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 If you really want to get technical you can monitor water temps. A very good indicator of weather and temperatures to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylaker Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Yup I’ll take yellow right now as well, although that little trip to Haliburton forest last week scratched the itch, it was only a temporary itch that has now become an even bigger itch...I knew it would happen.

reevester Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Looking a bit better. Arctic air stays away through end of the year Share this article: December 21, 2018; 2:32 PM Here are my latest thoughts on the long range pattern into January............. 1. Arctic air likely remains locked up across Siberia through the end of the year and probably through the first week of January. 2. Signals are strong for a drier and milder pattern setting up across the western half of Canada through early January. 3. Confidence continues to grow that there will be a sudden stratospheric warming event over the Arctic region in about a week. These events are usually more common later in the winter. In any event, this may eventually translate to a high-latitude blocking event (polar vortex weakens or gets displaced south) by mid-January, which can lead to more extremes (major snow/rain events or cold) across the mid-latitudes from the Prairies through Atlantic Canada and the eastern U.S. for the second half of January.
