SkiDooStu Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hello. Was thinking about going up to the cottage in a week's time. I know there won't be trails open, but is there even enough snow to just bomb around the property? We are near Orrville. I see about 30cms is in the forecast total this week, but that can change...

Wildbill Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Not yet and the ice is no good. Liquor store is well stocked though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiDooStu Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Really? Not even a foot or so??? I guess all the stupid NOAA snow cover maps are wrong as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 We don't even have snow or ice in hailburton yet either. Can't even walk on head lake yet. Big lakes are always three to four weeks behind head. Looking like early feb before the system here is fully open. Was zero today and no real cold in the forecast.

Canuck Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I recall 'first ride' on Groundhog Day one year. Seguin Trail was my 'get the kinks out' last year, and looks to be where I'll start again this year. Way before Groundhog Day, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I rode December 15 last year. Had my last ride feb 6 when I went to Mexico And came back to no snow a week later. All 2 feet melted. Southern Ontario Ian 't known for march riding. Might only get three weeks this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I recall 'first ride' on Groundhog Day one year. Seguin Trail was my 'get the kinks out' last year, and looks to be where I'll start again this year. Way before Groundhog Day, lol. Most of the riding I got in last year was trailered to. My get the kinks out was in Wasaga last year. They had 6 feet on the ground this time last year. The second trip was the Sequin. Here's hoping we are on the snow before ground hog day. Otherwise out of desperation I will break down and take the 10 hour drive north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravesledding Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Normally this time of year we are at the cabin for a few days, last few years had limited riding to the Seguin and also a small run to Bill’s shop to hang out for a bit,hopefully I will see you in a couple of weeks Bill. Did you not do your snow dance this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vectordevil Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 i agree with 02sled,out of desperation might have to take the 10hr drive north from here in bobcaygeon and go north !!! last year around here we were riding in the fields on december 9th and we were sledding on the lake december 20th .....and still looks like its going to be a long time before we get on the trails as more mild air comming in by the weekend i guess.....wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkiDooStu Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 It will come... As for the groundhog day ride, maybe you are thinking of January of 2007: http://climate.weatheroffice.gc.ca/climateData/dailydata_e.html?timeframe=2&Prov=ONT&StationID=31047&dlyRange=2001-02-01|2011-12-25&Year=2007&Month=1&Day=01 That was the year that the lake effect snow machine fired up from mid january to march....

FishHog Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I was in the Sprucedale area for the weekend. We got about 1" of snow on the 25th which gave us a grand total of 1 1/2" of snow. I took the quad figuring the cottage road wouldn't be passable but drove right there and never unloaded the quad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
