3 degrees outside and not a single farten snowflake.

Depression has set in.

spent two months and all my spare cash to rebuild my mad max sled (95zrt800). Got to around the house one time this year. We always have decent snow by now. this snow year blows.

Cant even trailer it east cause they got squat also.

Wife wants me to sell both sleds and use it for a downpayment on a seadoo boat. I'm starting to sway in that direction. Its not like im trying to sled in florida, im in cleveland. we always have snow in the winter especially the east side. The past two years have had notta. I want to resort to violence. I want to break something. Wont be my sled cause got no snow to run it. too cold for the dirt bikes, four wheelers or jet skis. Now im just like the rest of those dorks sitting inside their house looking outside and swearing to myself (sometimes outloud) bout the lack of snow. Geez, I feel like an old geezer now.

I feel your pain. We've had a lot of cold, but a total of about 4 1/2 inches all winter. I got to go out in December, but just around the house since then. Was trailering to snow, and my truck broke down.

About an inch here in CT. Had one good storm in December but a week later it rained. Everytime a storm is predicted it ends up raining. Still working on tuning my sled so its not that bad plus snow predicted for tomorrow. My fingers are crossed for snow across the country for us sledders.

Dude I feel your pain!
I haven't had a sno trip in almost 2 years! I just made it back from my brothers (Tohma Wi) They got lots of snow! But it was 20 below! My truck jelled up about Janesville, a 4 hour run took me 13! We did get about 30 miles in Friday night and Sat afternoon! In between working on getting the truck to start, missirable cold!
Now instead of tweeking and tunning for next weekends radar run I have to drain my 100 gallon fuel tank and replace my water seperator!
You can always trailor up to ride!

No snow in PA either. If it wasn't for the UP trip coming up ,I doubt I would get to ride at all. Thats what its lookin like. You know what though... it'll snow like hell while i'm gone. Thats what happened last year.

I hear ya sawblade i live in Gaylord, Michigan but used to live in Marblehead, Ohio(about an hour) from Cleveland ad they havent got snow down there either. Which is unfortunate because its always fun to go back to the old stomping grounds and tear it up.

37+ inches up on Tug Hill as of this morning and still coming down.
A city DPW garage roof caved in due to the weight of the snow.

kccats that is why I will never buy another diesel. If you live in Arizona or something they would be ok but not up north where it gets well below zero in the winter. I know what you are going through when I had a diesel pick up truck I always carried spare fuel filters and some anti gelling additive because you can't trust what the gas stations call winterized diesel fuel.
