They have limited snow, no storms. Looks like they expect winds to bring lake effect from the 15th on in traditional snowbelts. Won't help us here much district 9 and the Muskokas maybe. Snow predictions that far out almost never come true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow predictions that far out almost never come true. St clements never started until second week of February or some where around there, last year. My last ride out was that Sunday March 1 and next day it poured rain. If this keeps up I am going to have to find a new winter hobby. Snow predications sometimes 2 days before don’t come true. Longer we sit around these temps less likely we will go get lake effect in northern area’s, since water temps are going down.

Blackstar Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Yes, second week of February would be my prediction for around KW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) Some good some bad around Durham. Over all it’s good for early riding. Won’t be much of it left after the weekend though. And anyone looking to park in Mount Forest across from The Spot Restaurant better get there early. It was jammed full of trucks and trailers today. We drove past and parked at Snowmobiles Unlimited. Only ones there. Just knock on the door and let them know your parking. Owners are great people.

I drove by some of fields yesterday and dirt showing already. Road crossings shoulders are bare too. Good base though so if we can get some more snow on top, it will be good.

Some new and old iron its pretty thin but the groomed fields looked ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That groomer was moved from there to near Elmira approximately 4 years ago. It hasn't groomed the Baden area for at least that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big difference is that the GTSA is no longer in existance and all grooming is controlled by the district and the individual groomer captains with input from the clubs involved in our area.
