The Groomer Guy Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 We have no snow but the ice is not bad, One guy that I know good told me that one lake he checked had about 6 inches of pure good ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive. Based on the weather in the south, it's hard to imagine 6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some ice on a pond just north of the 401 this morning, however very little to no frost in the ground down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold is coming though will change soon. Prey for no snow until ground freezes solid. Groomer guy is lucky they are getting frost first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groomer guy is lucky they are getting frost first. Yep, it is always ideal to have the swamps tighten up before a big snowfall. I will take what we can get being we had one week of open trails here last year, If we get two feet of snow before a good frost in the ground and have to deal with some wet spots where sleds must pack it in well before grooming, I will be ok with that. one thing for sure, enough snow over no frost and we can ride, no snow over six feet of frost and we sit at home.

No frost trails won't hold to traffic and a few warm days base will be gone. Can't win in south. Last year snow came before frost and it didn't last very well.

gobills Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 polar vortex is going to be coming in again. That should really freeze things up and make for some great lake effect snow this year as the lakes are much warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the earliest I have ever seen it freeze over. Should make for an epic season for you guys being the lake is such a great hub for the entire trail system north of the city.

Bigfish Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Many locals running Rice Lake now! Haven't tried to cross it myself yet, but there is over 7 inches in our bay right now, and I have been scooting around on it. I may try to run across it this week, if the temps stay as cold as they forcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend owns Rhinos in Bewdley and I told him I would come visit on the sled some time this winter. I'm going to try and get his dad who hasn't been on a sled in many years to use my wife's sled to ride into Rhinos as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
