Dan-Senior Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 A mild winter with roller-coaster temperatures and plenty of rain. Those are my memories of the 1997-98 El Nino. Ice coverage for Lake Superior was only 10% that year and Lake Huron wasn't much higher at 30%. My strategy for the upcoming El Nino season is to ride on the day it snows, because 1 or 2 days later it might just melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I am hearing the winter will start abit later with a few rises and falls then the big drop will occur and we will be in the freezer for 8 weeks. No two elino's are alike and this winter is a fairly weak one. Better get the sled ready and save rain coat for spring my friend. You will need it then. Enough said!

mjack7 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Actually this is a very strong El Niño year . There saying could be one of the strongest on record. One thing about El Niño's, lots of storms running the jet with temps averaging 1 to 2 degrees above normal. The last el nino's year we had was pretty good. 2009 I beleive?

PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I have to finish winterizing mine and get it in the barn.Another year the boat gets put away wet.gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I was told last weekend that Dollarama sells something called dampbox (think that was the name). You open the top and put a few of them around the boat and it collects the moisture and deposits it as water in the container. My buddy claims it even collects water inside his park model trailer that has 4 season windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually use it I do not mind in fact I celebrate it . The guys that get on my nerves are the guys that have not used it in months and really have no intention of using it but just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
