LuvMyViper Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I still have faith.. We need a big snowstorm and fast.. I just pray that the entire province doesn't get washed out at the same time (again)....

Seen a truck and trailer parked at Baltaz gas station..YAH..What are you thinking.. His tires should be flattened on his truck and trailer. Are the New Dundee trails even open today? I woke up to some heavy snow damage this morning ... I imagine the trails would have been mush.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Warwick trails aren't holding up to bad. we are running both groomers right now in hopes we can save the base........if the weather is wrong. So far, it is taking longer to warm up to what they anticipated. I was out tonight and there is allot of base out there, we can only hope at this point.

skidooer Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 TWN has 10+cms of snow penciled in for Monday. I know their track record is dismal, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweese Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Ya the trip home from work last night was a sad thing to see. A lot of dirt starting to show in the fields. The snowbank in my front yard has dropped a good 10cm or more. TWN is saying up to 10cm for us in the east as well on Monday but the POP is only 10%. How do you call for 10cms with a POP of 10%....

f3 800 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I do believe after this weekend we will be done. It was the earliest and one of the best seasons in many years, so cant really complain. All we can hope for is another freeze up after this mild week and more snow next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagecat Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 We will need alot more than 10cms to make up for the 10 degrees and rain they are calling for on Friday, like to hope they are wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvMyViper Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 IMO we will still get a few Colorado Lows in March.. Fingers crossed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f3 800 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 If we lose the base it wont matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweese Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 IMO we will still get a few Colorado Lows in March.. Fingers crossed.... For sure only had one this year.. If we lose the base it wont matter Did we ever get a base this year? A good base comes from early snow followed by some warm weather to soften it up. Than a good cold snap to freeze it. I think it just snowed and snowed this year. But I'm thinking there will be a lot of red on the trail guide come Friday morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Quimby Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I would agree that there was very little base. It was so promising to see the frost hit the ground and the lakes start to thicken without a ton of snow to insulate them. The early start was a facade. The typical thaw came around New Years for many central Ontario areas and in my area (Haliburton), the trails took forever to recover. That area never saw a good storm or snowfall all year! Just several days of an inch or two or so as the Winter progressed. Right now there is just about a foot of snow, a little more depending where you are in Haliburton. The trails are very thin with lots of rock showing and chewed up corners.Enough rain and warm temperatures and it will be in a holding pattern or maybe done! Ten days of partially open trails in December, followed by two full weeks in January and what we have in February. That spells a really dismal year. One of the worst in years for cottage country! Ahh to remember the Winter of 08~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f3 800 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 And one of the best seasons in many years in the south. Talked to some riders from near Sudbury a couple weeks ago on the trails near Blyth. They drove over 5 hours south to ride for the week. Whats wrong with that picture?

Hopefully our 2 foot base can hold until next week, when they are calling for another foot. Wooo Hooo It aint over yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweese Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Winter of 08 was great, 09 wasn't bad, 10 sucked and 11 for myself in the south east was as good as 08 was, until this week. The Prince Edward County trails where open early this year and have only showed Yellow they where teh best I've ever seen. I think they keep them Yellow so the outsiders don't trailer in and mess them up on us But ya I think we are done if the weather doesn't flip back to winter (that means snow) by the end of the month. Which is only 10 days away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuvMyViper Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Warmth This Week to Challenge 100-Year-Old Records The big warm-up sweeping the eastern two-thirds of the country this week will reach its peak today through Friday, depending on location. In some places, temperatures will challenge records that go back more than 100 years. Records were already broken Tuesday in parts of Nebraska, Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Texas and Nevada. As the warmth spreads north and eastward from the Southwest and Gulf Coast region, highs in the 70s are forecast all the way north into parts of Kansas, Arkansas, the Carolinas, Virginia and Maryland. Some areas of Texas have already been warming into the 80s this week, and soon portions of Florida will join them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamski-doo Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Went from New Dundee to Stratford last night, I think the trails where amazing with just the odd bare spot. They where exactly the way i like them nice and smooth hard pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiDooStu Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ya, bad year for cottage country, but it was about time we had a good winter in the south. I've put more miles on this year than I ever have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm thinking there will be a lot of red on the trail guide come Friday morning... we have a good base here.......15"+ the trails are holding up, I wish they where closed,but I haven't seen anybody out so that is good. If we don't get much rain we may be able to save them. Just depends on the weather next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvMyViper Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks for the update Wildman.. We're hoping to ride that area this winter still.. We planned on riding from New Dundee but it looks like we'll have to trailer there.. I am looking forward to reports on Saturday.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
