livin' on the b103 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Well here is some positive for you all! Snowed overnight in suburban Kinmount and is coming down to beat the band! A pal showed up on his sled this AM for his first ride. A solid 7 inches and counting(yes, I went out with a measuring tape) I refuse to look at the forecast and will just enjoy the day!!

Livin' Shows how how much conditions can vary. We're 45 klicks east of you (as the crow flies). We might have 2" on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin' on the b103 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Yes, seems to be some weird band of weather coming in. Spoke to a friend and West Guilford has only a few inches. Livin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Has he ever written anything truly positive? A mild winter could be good for us. Warmer riding temps and conditions up north. Cochrane is getting southern Ontario temps early Jan. Will make for some enjoyable riding conditions, when they open. Predicting a pattern change second week of Jan, when country will see normal temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irREVerent Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 10-12" in bracebridge and it's still coming Wow!...that's amazing, but really shows how localized the streamers are. Here on the east side of Huntsville, the sun broke through for a while this morning, and in total, we've had maybe 1" since late yesterday. The snow squall warning has now been lifted by Env. Canada, although it is snowing steadily as this is being written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake G Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Saturday at least a foot of snow fell in Gravenhurst and Bracebridge, but there will probably not be much more overnight, based on the current radar presentation. The foot was very fluffy, too, and might settle a bit. I put on 26 miles this evening (Saturday) and the road running was great. The overnight low is to be -5 and tomorrow's high is expected to be +2 so not much is going to melt before Monday. The downside to your plan is that the trails are nowhere near being ready, and won't be for a few weeks. Ditch-banging isn't good around here. That pretty much reduces the possibilities to road running, and as far as I know the accumulation may not have landed on the area of unplowed logging roads half an hour north east of Gravenhurst. The town plows are generally called in at either midnight or 7 a.m. I assume it will be midnight in this instance. The question becomes, What will the roads be like after they are plowed? I don't know the answer. There is a fair bit of snow, but the ground is warm and once the roads are plowed, the remaining snow will tend to melt more quickly than it would in the middle of the winter. On the other hand, if it does keep snowing a bit, there could be some fresh snow on the roads after the plows might have done their runs. Being local, my plan is to stick my head out the door at daylight and see how it looks after the plows run. I live in the downtown area. If there is still snow on the road in the urban area, as I expect there will be, I will likely take my sled on the back of my truck to somewhere on the edge of town, and hopefully drop onto a secondary road and run around for two or three hours. You live several hours away, so the stakes are higher if you make a bad decision. Maybe it depends how well your wife reacts to disappointment?
