I have snow trackers. It goes where you aim it, although they are not great in looser snow. But ruts may be a bigger issue than tall carbides solve.

Doesnt look it rn

same mid 30s here at HPN

Yeah Doorman good maps there! I was wondering what it would take to help us forget December and all the missed chanced in January and the pattern coming up could go a long way toward that.

Yes gfs has been all over this one. Day 7 though.

Boi yoi yoi oing

God damn you are a hard on.

You are lucky I cant figure out how to shrink and post a picture I took of my running boards. You cannot unsee it.

I am a believer now re scratchers. The 4 strokes should probably all have them unless they have a radiator of some substance. Scratchers will save hyfax as well. No downside i can think of.

Actually did a Southern loop from there, heading to royalton, south to Barnard (best trails and deepest snow), around up to Pittsfield then Stockton, then back to bethel. The trails around Pittsfield were getting beat up with traffic and seemingly lower snow depth. Heading back into bethel a tree had just fallen across the main trail and cut off bethel from the west, like 5 miles from my truck. There was no way around it. The re route north was 20 miles and thanks to some locals we were saved from a 40 mile re route up around randolph. I am sure a lot of people got a surprise with that tree. The locals we met immediately notified the club. One bad thing about Stockton trails and north (12, 4 and 12b) was that roads are a part of the trails in a many spots, and they were burnt. My sled looked like it was dragged up a beach when we got home with grit and sand in everything. The re route was pretty nasty in that respect, but hey, it was a re route and not the main route. The snow to the south down through Barnard actually seemed to be the deepest, more than what we encountered to the north oddly. Perhaps there was some elevation at play and the pittsfield area is a valley? Dunno. We had no plan and even if we did the tree would’ve effed it up anyway. It was a good snowmobile adventure in a new place so a good day for me and the boy. I hope we can sneak in another ride.

Bethel VT... should have been more specific.

My track is 1.25 inch paddle with studs. Sled is a 1200 which is notorious for overheating. My son's 2 stroke - no studs and no scratchers...never overheats.

I put a set on and it saved my weekend. The underside of the sled was coated in snow/slush. The hard snow sunday was not great to ride in so we kept the day short. Went 120 miles saturday out of Bethel though. some great trails there in A plus shape.

Well we got 3 huge cutters on the gfs spaced out every 5 days. This the operational of course. Ensemables support that pattern. Lights out pattern.

D+. It snowed once and I used the blower. I also went snowmobiling to my camp once. I will go again this weekend and ride in the mud and then take them home for the season. The final grade for this season can't be more than a C, and only if we got a march snowstorm of something more than middling magnitude. The rest of February is toast so Morch is all we got.

Time to fire up winter 22-23 thread...lol

for what?

One after it looks more fruitful, but jeez 10.5 days out...

on another note, there are a lot more Euro maps available on tropical tidbits. I know someone will say welcome to a long time ago but I just noticed it.

it will be pretty warm in these parts. In the last 3 years we have had 2 Febs with temps in the 60s at least the coast for a couple days. Looks possible. It will be hard for winter to recover from that look.

I think its perfectly sensible to consider the H5 look at this lead time.

I like where we are...cautiously optimistic...Dr. NO is coming up next...

Well hand him the dice!

Which storm was the last George special? I think that's the one that utterly failed? Don't remember. This is DAY 5, and the day we needed to see the trends evolve the right way. We trend.

Big ol' cutter for the long weekend on the GFS. I know it's a billion years away in model time but: 1) Cutters seem to verify like every time 2)It's been on the charts for many cycles already. I suppose we are due for one, but it will be a pack killer.
