Turbo Doo Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 She's all but over here in the south.. gonna be a long time before things gonna turn around.warm for at least a week and a bit forecast shows..
Faceman Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 Wow, you are so right. The Good Ship Lollipop took some major hits last night, downpour after downpour. We still have base in some areas but not near enough.
Turbo Doo Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Forecast shows hardly anything or even cold till February. Thinking were done around the south..
Blake G Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Rather rude too, of course, but perhaps appropriate at some point each season.
catinental couch Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 My innocence has just been defiled.lol

We need the snow gone so the ground can freeze properly and get a decent season. Half the time south doesn't start until Feb anyway's. Snow will back end of Jan and will last until mid march. Will be lots of riding yet. Never seen two bad years in a row and models show cold is coming and is going to stay.

No worries I have the atv back out and having fun, so it will snow soon. Maybe can organize an eater ride in northern Ontario (it is early this year)
Sledguy74 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 got vacation days banked waiting for trails to open in February. https://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/january-brings-one-more-blast-of-arctic-air-mild-air-ahead/77972/

Sledguy74 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Yes that would be a good idea. Don't really have a ATV gang to ride with.

I know it's not necessarily in your backyard but perhaps people with ATV's trailer to ride just like snowmobilers do. Baxter ATV club (Port Severn) have a number of organized group rides throughout the year.

Turbo Doo Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Gonna be a long wait if you wanna ride in the south again this year..

Good thing I have an Atv. :-), no weather blues. Might have to buy another one soon, sledding interest is dropping fast with this weather.

So when are you getting an Atv?? lol Thought about it but not for me. I have an aversion to mosquitos and they seem to like my blood. If I headed into those trails in the middle of summer it would be like ringing the dinner bell and yelling come and get me. To each their own but I also don't have any interest in getting covered head to toe in mud like many others do.
Blake G Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 For what it's worth, I bought a used atv last spring, rode it many times, and don't recall being muddy or bug bitten even once. Unlike sledding, where I seem to ride in questionable early and late season conditions, with the atv I guess I was more fussy. I opted for good dry trails and gravel roads. The mud and swamps can be left for others to enjoy. PS: I trailered to the Seguin Trail, Kearney area, and Haliburton for much of my riding.
