Easy Rider Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I just read in the Kitchener paper that a new snowfall record has been set in Waterloo region of 246cm with the 38cm of snowfall on Sat. The old record set in the winter of 1923-24 was 244.3cm. That works out to nearly 100" or over 8 feet of snowfall here in southern Ontario. Bring on the global warming, I love it! Who would expect to have the best conditions of the season on March 10th. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidooer Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 All the snow is great,but the thaws suck. I can live without them As awesome as the thought of snowmobiling in 8 feet of snow is, it's probably a good thing it rains every week. I'm not sure we would really be able to handle that much snow.

According to TWN we received 45cm on the weekend. What a blast breaking trail with that much powder on a groomed trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidooer Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 According to TWN we received 45cm on the weekend. According to TWN, we received 5.6mm, yes millimeters, over the weekend. This is what 5.6mms looks like, apparently: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXThunder Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I know what you mean. I don't think that any sled is fun getting out of a five foot drift. I know I did my fair share of digging this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f3 800 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Not only did some areas set records for snowfall, but they also set records for the most days over 45 degrees, and rainfall. Imagine if it would have stayed cold all winter, how much snow we would have gotten! Snowmobiling in 5 foot drifts one day, two days later, rain and mud. What a crazy year it has been.

clayfan Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I agree about a crazy winter. In January that thaw we had really screwed a trip up but good. We rode here in Niagara about 160 miles between Saturday and Sunday. Excellant, better than its been for years and what I thought was funny was a few riders we met on the trail bitching about too much snow and they got stuck a few times. Cry me a river. Learn to ride. :poke: Sometimes you can't just squeeze the trigger, you actually have to work, get up on the sled and countersteer your turns. We had a blast on the canal banks busting big drifts, riding like we were western guys. Kinda hard on fuel but who cares, couple more weeks/days and it'll all be over for another year.

Mrs. Mossy Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 EC is calling for snow showers and possible freezing rain here today...they can't make up their mind whether the winds shifting this morning will bring warm air or lake effect snow!!! There was a little squall this morning around 8:00 a.m. that left maybe a cm. The wind is very cold.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
