    March Madness

    I have the opposite here....I have run out this year, first time too. Oil furnace getting its first real workout in years. Need some sunny, warmer days to heat the house up. These cloudy, dreary days just dont cut it
    Back in late Jan i didnt think we'd make it till march but we dont burn 24/7. Then we went away early feb for ski vacation and suddenly the excess is obvious. I hate having it in the garage all summer.

    Yesterday's low-RH 46° settled/melted 2/3 of the overnight 2.8", leaving a solid 20" pack.  We've twice had 48" depth in March, on 3/1/08 from the last siggy snowfall of that snowy winter, and 3/31/01 - had 19" dump on 30-31.  In Fort Kent we reached 65" on 3/14/84 as 26.5" fell atop a 42" pack. 
    Impressive depths, especially ft kent. Seems those days are long gone.

    Crazy we have made it to much without one of those lethal, high-end cutters that delivers high dews...closest thing was probably the mid January thaw.
    We're due for a grinch pack wipe.

    Man, looking at the ensembles, the public is gonna feel some whiplash....potential record highs for a day or two next week (if things break right....but even if they don't, it would still be quite mild)....then that PV presses south and we go back into a winter pattern. 

    and this is what's so frustrating. If the pattern goes warm, I'd just prefer it stays that way. Very frustrating to lose the pack over a 2 day stretch to then go right back into winter. My opinion is based only on snowmobile season where I'd rather crank through 3 more wks of winter then you can torch it.

    I think this may be the last chance to ride this week, Next week will start the pack decimation process.

    Heading to Portage Thurs. Ride Fri/Sat. Friends are staying till the 12th. I told them to bring their shorts.

    Pretty disappointing to see winter end this week if that is the case. I'm sure we'll see some more chances after Weds along with a bit of cold, but once the pack is decimated I'm read to move on. I thought we'd be safe at least till 2nd or 3rd week of the month, but such is life.

    I would have like to have seen even a little but the beefy 7.5" we got Friday night was great for the trails.  Or at least I assume it was since I can't get out on them without sleds :weep:
    How long until insurance pays out? I assume not quick enough to salvage rest of season
