Strong Farmer Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Just issued a heavy rain warning for Waterloo region. Saying 5 cm's of snow followed by heavy rain into evening and overnight hours, before it changes back to snow 🤦♂️. Maybe we get some thunder too 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95rxl650 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Currently raining in Owen Sound but we have no snow anyway. The 7 day forcast looks hopeful. Not "trail" hopeful, but atleast steadily below freezing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build the trail. Days of a month of 20 below before the big snow hits are gone. Yes there is still some swamps, but a good portion of the trail systems are on solid ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really tough to hit a 300Km plus day without swamps and lakes frozen over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tues and Wed already changed….lol On 1/7/2024 at 4:50 PM, stoney said: Update, 5 less mm of rain and more snow Heading in the right direction…for now!! lol Okay, I’ll stop with the update, see how things look in 24 hours and more importantly in 48 to 72 hours. So this is the now....little less rain for today and a little more snow, if correct.... Wed is about the same as before.....hoping the long range stays close or near the course, colder each day and some snow each day too, not a ton of snow, so good and bad I guess depending how you look at that.

Canuck Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Thanks, MM. I keep thinking of the year I didn't have trail passes (4) and drew the line in the sand at Feb. 2 (Greoundhog Day). Not trails open by then, not buying. It snowed early February. Heavy. Insanely, heavy and plentiful snow. But it was wasy colder too. So there was a frost, set in the ground. Have 2 passes for this year, purchased early. If, like some, I don't peel the sticker off the paper, c'est la vie. Support the sport. But still holding out hope. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I dont use it this year then hopefully ofsc can save some of un used fuel funds for next winter when we need it 🤷🏽♂️. That's beauty behind these early passes. Take discount and hope for best and ofsc gets funds early. We all average out over a 3 to 5 year period. For some reason when we get a steller winter fuel money always seems to run out early and grooming very limited 🤷🏽♂️. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We broke that open in 12/96 (different route back then tho) with no tracks and hardly any signs in -30*.

stoney Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The rain line is slowly moving north as the night goes on....seems to stop right around Dorset closer to midnight. So if you are on the east side of the line, you have snow, west side is rain...... See what tomorrow looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
