We are scheduled on a saddlebag trip in that area January 18-23.  Anyone able to comment on trail conditions?   Thanks Gang!

Crazy up here too. We have more snow on the ground now, than we normally have in March. Arrived to dig out buildings yesterday about 4pm, we had another 3 feet to shovel from around doors, decks, walkways, we can't access with a plow or blower. This was the second 3 feet dig we had this season, and it is only the first week of Jan. Supposed to get some rain today, I need to finish our dig before the snow gets too wet and heavy to deal with. Not sure what we are going to do, or where we will put the snow, the rest of the season. It's deep up here. Ski 

It's been bad. I use two machines to keep my keep 3/4 of km drive way open. It's 45 feet wide in spots too. Typically blade wide area's then blow it away. Works well.  I checked tractor hours almost at a full season of hours on equipment so far. I had to call My Buddy a few times too because I can't be in barns and blowing snow too sometimes. He helped me for about 12 hours I got part of bill but not all of it. 

I was in New Liskeard at the Waterfront Inn in 2003 and woke up to -30 temps. I was riding a '97 ZRT 800. The thing was a pig to pull over in warm temps and rope was locked solid on this day. Well, 3 of us pulled on the rope, ended up pulling the plugs and hitting them with a lighter, gas down the plug hole. Finally fired after 20 minutes. I thought I'd teach her a lesson and I ripped wide open across the lake to the trail. It ran ok the rest of the day but the next time I rode it she just wasn't right. Tear down showed she'd had a crank bearing in the bottom blow apart, went through the cylinder destroying the piston and cylinder.....lol  Sold it for parts.   I was a bit more gracious with warm ups after that.

I feel for you brother. Its been a tough winter and its only the first week of Jan.   I sledded Sunday with my buddy who plowed for me for 5 years. He said "fawk, I'm glad we quit when we did. This winter would have killed me."   I miss plowing but this year its been enough just taking care for my own property and my mother's.     Oh, and I love driving by my old lots and seeing how terribly they are been cared for.
