Damn el nino!

Back here in Vermont we got about 5 inches a week ago and then another couple a few days later...but mostly gone now...but very encouraging for a snow filled winter. We went out signing trails today and there were flakes in the air...darn cold too...can't wait to ride finally! Think Snow...Ride Safe!

well we need more thinking and begging for snow. I don't think it'll make an appearance when temps are in the 60's

And as far as wisconsin guys go... when you hear we are getting some, then its time to get hopes up

Dennismc · 11-08-2006, 12:27 PM

I bet Mother nature doesnt have it in her to Hit the midwest HARD, she is getting old and feeble. Nothing like the late 70's whe she was really stomping around... Ya Ya thats right she ait got it in her anymore, to old. washed up...

I DARE YOU to PROVE ME WRONG Missss Mother Nature!... ha

Well...the cabin that we stay at when we sled has at least 6" right now, according to friends that were just up. Lake effect, baby!!

Blownsvt · 11-17-2006, 10:36 PM

where is that? i have been looking for snow anywhere?

Kemo · 11-17-2006, 11:06 PM

You aren't going to find it anywhere... but i just realized something, svt, I'm just north of you and across the river

Bad news for us, mid 50s next week

I'd say we'll have snow to ride on by late decemeber, earliest that is.

Blownsvt · 11-17-2006, 11:23 PM

where exactly are you? a few of my friends went down to albert lea last week end and got some good riding in. keep the faith man we almost always get that snow storm around thanksgiving.

Kemo · 11-17-2006, 11:26 PM

elk river

Really hard to get snow when its mid 50s next week

ncorrieri · 11-19-2006, 02:06 AM

didnt s mn get pounded recently while it was 50s in N mn?

stcloud here<--

Kemo · 11-19-2006, 10:24 AM

yeah but its all melted now. I've been trying to forecast whats been going on and have been keeping track of snowfalls of previous years. Last year, we got 20", year before, 25". The year before that, barely 30".

How many people are still prepping sleds? I've got some bearings to replace on the track

Shouldn't be too bad though. My skis just got in, along with some other various items i needed for my sled. This sled is almost restored, except for the track... thats next.

SnowBunny550 · 11-20-2006, 10:18 AM

Still prepping? We haven't even started yet! This weekend, though - we'll be driving "home" for Thanksgiving, so we're taking the truck down & bringing the sleds back up. I'm one excited girl!!

Of course, I'm praying for snow. This mid- to upper-50s business that is being forcasted is ridiculous!!

Blownsvt · 11-20-2006, 10:33 PM

i thought i had heard that after this weekend it's supposed to get cold and stay cold for good so hopefully thats the case. and as far as i am concerened it can stay that way till april. I already put my cobra to bed for the winter and now i wanna wake up the snowmobile.

mmrosshere · 11-20-2006, 10:57 PM

Here in VT. we have the cold now after 60+* now all we need is for all this rain we have been having to turn to snow. a bud of mine said he calculated if it all came down as snow without melt or compacting we would have had 4.5feet in the Champlain Valley. Just think of that. Iam waiting for the lake to freeze over then we have one heck of a play area.

you live on the wrong side of the lakes

, worse case cinerio i am only hour away from tug hill, but as snowbunny states you need to be more positive

...soon enough we will be on our snowmobiles gliding along on the white stuff...I hope and pray that Jack Frost does right by us all this year and we have a winter like no other...keep your fingers crossed and help us all as we eagerly await that first snow...let us know when you get your first snowfall!

Thanks so much...Be Safe and Think Snow!

Welcome to Cabot Skylighters Homepage

Ice princess,
I logged on your homepage and could not find a Vermont trail map.

I have a few questions on your area.
1. Trail permits cost?
2. How miles of trail?
3. Best place to ride?
4. where did you learn to write so eloquently.

outlandish · 11-28-2006, 04:28 PM

It's been raining here in N Minnesota all day today. How's that for late November weather
