How bad are the St. Once Numbers?

I finally got to ride the sled. Lol I am up to 0.01 km for the Season. back to the city for a long overdue track replacement.

Lake Dalrymple today near Orillia. Normally sledding on it Over March Break.

Thats CRAZY swing.

700 is a lot.. That's not going to move unless it's 3-5K off and I doubt they can do that. Add in the new sleds they have to buy for the fall and it could get interesting.. Some dealer may not have the cash on hand to be able to buy their allotment for this year. From what a few posted each dealer is expected to buy X amount of sleds. Mike

2-stroke Been Summarized, so oil injected.

So it really looks like I won't get on the sled at all this year. What should I do in terms of storage? I don't think we will even have a dusting of snow at our cottage come march break so should I start it and let it get to operating temp, and then just put back into storage? Or just leave it as is? Never had to do this so wondering what best approach is? Mike

Ya I saw the long range. Great to have snow but not looking good after.

Down again.. Today, we have 2184 km of available trails!

Up to +12 in Mississauga on Friday and Sunny. This is really bizarre,. +6 in Cochrane. I can't remember the last time it was that warm up there in February.

Crazy winter.

Suns out.. If temps stay above freezing a lot of damage is going to be done. Sun will kill anything thats open. I imagine most roads are pretty bare already.

Ya long range up to mid Feb does not look promising. I think the new sleds are launching in 2-3 weeks as well (2025s) will be interesting how the weather affects spring check orders.

Isn’t 5-6” pretty thin? Not sure I would be on that with multiple sleds

Pouring rain in Kawarthas.. By the looks of the camera we have lost about half the snow we had as of this morning and its still raining.

South is above zero for next 14 days. Crazy end of January. Hopefully the rain leaves enough base in most areas.

Thats the first loop thats open LOL

We got 10-15cm in Orillia / Kawarthas. All gone this morning from rain. Maybe 1cm left. Hopefully cold comes and then more anow. further north got less rain most likely so faired better I would think.

Torrential Rain in Orillia Area this evening.

Parry sound is showing rain on Tuesday / Wednesday but North of that snow hopefully the snow line moves more south. 100 rain in the city

south of north Bay February at earliest. Too much open water. I have a bad feeling we may only get a 2-3 week window of riding this year. and that’s assuming we don’t get a January / February thaw. If that happens we may be in a bad spot.

Wow. My friends lake in Perry sound is wide open. Maybe some hope for the northern lakes.

My son was out fishing the other day. Normally sledding and skating on lake on new years. First time since we’ve owned up here have we not been Able to go on the lake. Crazy.

True.. I am at 3km this year on the sled.. One loop around cottage, and one loop with my son on the back. Almost no snow on the ground, lake is not safe.. Sigh.. Good news is sled started right up from storage.. Hoping to do a trip up north in a few weeks with my buddy, but that will most likely be the one and only time.. First year in a long time I haven't been able to access trails from the cottage. Mike

I didn't even set up our rink this year..
