Decent amount but not allot compared to what they can get in a normal winter. How much snow is at cottage at moment? 

Probably about the same.

Got an update this a.m. from up there, things are "improving" but still a long way to go.

The big part of our lake just capped over end of last week.

 

It's late

Yup, 

Our club is out doing a cap load of work.

I don't know how they do it.

My frustrations are what they are - I don't think I could handle putting that much work into something and having it all rely on mother nature.

I stopped doing our backyard rink last winter - never felt better :)

Nice I love your jeep. My 02 still runs like top 😎

4.7 v8 quadra drive with a Big Bear tune. It was my wifes and it would eat 5.0 Stangs for a snack...... only for a couple blocks though. lol

We've been getting about an inch an hour of wet snow for last few hours around here. Starting to like winter again.

Ellis Swampers and Science Hill clubs have opened some by the look of it.

I'm only 15 minutes from the trail in Alma and I see Mount Forest has re-opened some of their trails.

Its been a real mixed bag the last week. I keep refreshing every hour....lol

Quite a bit of snow in Mitchell in the last 24hrs but its that weird granular stuff that is like mashed potatoes.   I dont think it is very good for packing into base.

Anything is good we take it all. Super cold next week so we need some more snow before temps drop later in week.

I mash that refresh button on the itg every 15 mins from December until March. 

 

I almost wear out my mouse clicking on that and the weather network looking for snow lol.

Finally getting some snow around OS. 10-12" in the last 24 hours and still coming down. No change in the ITG on the Huron side of highway 6. We definitely need the cold to freeze up all the swamp trails around here. Some spots will ruin your day in a hurry. Clubs are working on it so I hope to see some changes today.

Bracebridge looks very much like winter, my BIL's inlaws were talking about how much snow they have as well that live in that neck of the woods.

People see that and then see all Red for that region on the trail guide and I am sure scratching their heads.....lol

Our area is strange sometimes, it can dump snow where we are and do nothing in town 15 minutes away.

I think it's the norm now. We've had the same narrow band of streamers here for the last few years where multiple counties used to blanketed

I agree. The narrow band of streamers can move over Bracebridge and Gravenhurst and miss Huntsville and Washago. Washago had about 2cm on the ground early this morning.

Good snow from Orangeville to Dundalk. Lots of drifting snow. The bush trails north of Shelburne suck, no snow. Super burger is closed so we are eating at Champ Burger.

Tried getting over to the Dundalk area this morning, but got 20kms out of Kincardine and couldn't see 100 meters, with drifting coming across highway 9.    Got caught in a blizzard on the trails at night and could hardly find the markers, most of the time it was a guess.   Didn't want a repeat so I turned around.   Seeing your post it looks like a nice bright sunny day that way
