  1. River let go last 2 days. Down at my crossing to ITS 88. No trail riding for me! My sign for riders brave enough to cross- Still over 2' with 4-6" tonight. Began around 1600- nice soft fluff on a packed base Vim Toot!
  2. Great season. Still much to go here Up East. Got 1-2" this am now just snotty but good lockup cold here tonight. Steady increasing snowpack after mid-Jan. Nethers deep in the woods. River ice came late and after early Jan high water left 8' ice walls on the banks access was difficult. Made my river crossing first on snowshoes around late January then by sled until my last crossing yesty before ice opened up late afternoon. Took this from my pond yesterday. My hideout up top.
  3. New Yorky Dork thinks this is a religion board.
  4. Got the sled in the garage! Been 30-32 all day. Snowing since 2300 last night. Goin down to 26 tonight. Compacted 6" now, 2-3" more till evening.
  5. Up here, late March is a sure thing every year. Mid-April is the finish here. Late April up the NW Allagash. i'm talkin off trail.
  6. 16f and clear. 5f just NW of here. Going there. Gonna snow tonite/tomorrow, 6" probably.
  7. 24f 4" new yesty/last night. Goin ridin!
  8. All eyes on Boreal Maine! Watch us snow! SE Mass winter has broken George I think.
  9. Oh yeah. Was just looking at AS account. Had actually forgotten about that. Thought the name was sort of stupid and made some rookie mistakes so... Good memory!
  10. Not many posts under that name. It was early and I hadn't "upped my game" yet...
  11. Ya, but I like choice #2. (Inserted "choice" after reading sentence above..)
  12. These spring days the snow is rideable everywhere. But bring gas with you.
  13. The weenies are funny but what'd I do?
  14. 12f this morning. 1.5" new last night. Sorry for the blur.
  15. Buffalo in Midwest div. Caribou in Boreal NE.
  16. 2' in the woods, 1.5' in the fields. 6-8' on the river. That's where all the ground blizzard snows settle.
  17. You wont regret the ride up. No one ever does!! Even if we went full melt there's so much to go and the big lakes last till mid April easy if the trails run out. But that's all academic as we are going to get buried over the next week with good solid cold locking up every night. You timed it good.
  18. Even after grooming is down the trails get smoother and smoother every day as the melt settles and firms again with the night freeze. Sleep in then go out as the surface re-softens and TEAR IT UP. Spring riding is the smoothest of all.
  19. Dunno about grooming a week from now but wx pattern looks good for groomable cold. As always at this time of year ride Caribou north. The lakes will still be good no matter. This is the time of season for off trail. Go explore the logging roads and fields that are bigger than Connecticut... well, Rhode Island. Ok, bigger than Hartford. ITS 88 across river from me- still good and my river crossing still good but hearing no sleds on it since yestiddy. I bet it's scratched out at Rt 1 crossing by the mall. STAY OUT OF TOWNS.
  20. Tamarack has the data. He is the Will of Maine.
  21. I see a lot of 60s down in SNE. Not here. 32f w/ 2" on the way. 18f by morning. Still a ton of snow and more on the way!
  22. Caribou is 2 1/2 degrees lat north of Stowe Vermont. Up here, "NNE" is the tropics. Northern Maine is more Boreal New England.
