Weather not similar and a little farther drive? fingers are crossed that I can get up north this weekend also....... On the radar it’s showing more snow over Hearst and Kap region. Cochrane and SRF are more in the rain/freezing rain mix. Sure hope it doesn’t hurt things too badly. Leaving tomo for cochrane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyr Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 A group of my buddies just rolled into Cochrane this aft. I can tell by the group chat, they arent feeling really good about the weather. Luckily, they are heading towards Hearst and Hornepayne for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get them with or without the carbide tip. Need the tip. I have those installed on my Polaris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been watching the weather forecasts for Timmins, Cochrane,Kap and Hearst like a hawk (Mark would say "worrying too much", but I am not the one that got wet thru today with my truck 100 km away). First the forecast for this week caused us to postpone until a week from today, and now its has us thinking of staging in Kap for reasons similar to Turbo Doo. I don't want us to drive all that way to ride icy trails. Until today, I didn't realize the potential weather difference between Cochrane and Kap, let alone Heast. According to TWN 30 minutes ago, it was +3 and raining in Cochrane and -3 and snowing in Kap. Cochrane isn't forecast to get any appreciable snow in the next week, but Hornepayne, Hearst and Kap are. Therefore, follow the white gold to Kap!!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
