95rxl650 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Passing lane.......ya ....that one. lol. You guys got more snow in one shot than we have for the season. Our side roads are slick and my grandkids are having extended snow days but after 1/4 tank of gas this morning, I'm just not seeing any decent conditions. It tries to snow, but it's broken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter has her G2 - we did all the driver training etc. - and I spent a lot of time with her myself. Anyway - her road test for her G2 - was 7 1/2 minutes long - that was it - in 7 1/2 minutes they issued her a G2 and sent her out into the wild. It has been a while, but I recall my driving test being a lot longer......some local roads with stop signs, yields, etc....., a nearby highway, parrallel parking, parking in a parking lot...... Guess there were cut backs....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95rxl650 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Seems like I'm under the dome in Owen Sound. Trails all around me are opening up. Apparently, south of chatsworth there's been a couple more feet of snow and thats 20 minutes down the road. We got maybe 2" in the last 24 hours in town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks to be a good 14-16" on the shed. were about 10" in the Sound. Problem is that it's light fluff. Doesnt amount to much once it's packed but it sure looks hopeful. My daughter lives in that direction and sends me video. Some of the high spots in the fields are blown clean but I'll take it and be happy about it. Time to get out and enjoy it.😊 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Just can’t win this season. Thankful for the 600kms so far this season, but the forecast is not looking good at all. Hopefully we don’t get too much rain tomorrow & Thursday. about 6-7 days in a row of above temperatures going into February. Brutal & challenging season for all of us.

I know but it's rare if no base left. I can't remember many years trails would re open after losing base in February. Wait and see. You ride by yourself usually?

MXZMike Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 South is above zero for next 14 days. Crazy end of January. Hopefully the rain leaves enough base in most areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pota Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I hear ya. I have a cottage in Huntsville and have yet to ride up there ( obvious reasons ). I did receive a trail update from my local club saying “ The ASC Team has been busy getting trails ready for the season. Depending on the weather, etc we are probably still about a week away from opening. “ . This was dated Jan 27. The last few years it’s been a later and later start. Lakes haven’t been freezing over like they used to and snow hasn’t arrived as early as it usually did. I Never got out on my lake once last year ( not staked ) . I am not complaining, because, I don’t! I have simply put my sled in the back of my truck instead of leaving it there ( which has been the norm for last 25 yrs lol ) and bring it home to gta. I have been lucky enough to get out and enjoy about 700 k of the southern district ——- so far, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
