J Feces Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Had a Great Lake tour today. Mackenzie, Papineau, Bark, Cross, and Caughlin..going to go for a crap tomorrow. Too bad it’s not even March yet..usually my favourite month. Hope everyone was able to get out and enjoy it while it lasted. I’m hopeful for another good stretch of weather w some significant snow. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMSOMAIR Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I never bitched about the weather actually. What I bitched about is the blatant ineptness of TWN to predict snowfall and all the hype they create. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04nightfire Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 And now we get this for Orillia   Description Snow squalls are expected to develop this afternoon. Hazards: Snowfall accumulations of 20 to 40 cm. Peak snowfall rates of 2 to 4 cm per hour. Northwesterly winds with gusts up to 80 km/h developing this afternoon. Reduced visibility, to near zero at times, in heavy snow and blowing snow. Timing: Beginning this afternoon or early evening through Thursday afternoon. Discussion: Snow squalls are expected to develop this afternoon. Significantly reduced visibilities, to near zero at times, are expected due to strong northwesterly wind gusting to 80 km/h. The snow squalls are expected to be the most intense tonight. Snow squalls will weaken and shift north of the area by early Thursday evening. An upgrade to a blizzard warning may be required should the strong winds persist long enough into this evening particularly for areas near the Lake Huron and Georgian Bay shores. ### Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Visibility may be significantly and suddenly reduced to near zero. Road closures are possible. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.  1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The permit is the cheap part.   2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderman Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 lol - yes, the OFSC is operating at massive profits and sitting on mountains of money from all those permits purchased. Â Give your head a shake ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 LOL on the ON permit holders and "credit".....these just might be folks exiting the sport. Did not get 1KM in ON this year - oh well. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
