    We're thinking about buying mountain sleds and storing them in Denver. Just rent a truck... load em up and head up into the mountains.

    Have you ever considered just flying out to the Rockies? Better scenery for just sightseeing.

    Thinking about just forgetting midwest snowmobiling this year. Might do some Canadian Rocky long track riding.

    Temps have nothing to do with it. Snow and cold are completely tied to the jet stream... and we get extreme troughs about as often as ridges.

    Bad bad bad bad month. December 2019 was a mega stinker from start to finish.

    Jesus. Looks like we're going to pay for last years good winter. Just canceled 2 weekend trips to the U.P. All Michigan snow will be wiped out.

    Yikes. Well, maybe I'll get my sled out in mid January.

    The people are nasty around Syracuse too? I thought that was limited to I-95.

    Wow. Now I just need to find someone to tag team this weekend with. Might go solo.

    2.12° in my backyard station.

    Only 82.2 at my house.... never felt all that warm.

    I'd disable Twitter embedding permanently. Without it, people might have to contribute original thoughts and not rely on Kyle Griffin for everything.

    Not gonna happen this year.

    I told them to name the two guys who helped... they didn't even ask if we wanted to be named, the mine EMS said we would be "the 2 snowmobilers". The only part that's a bit exaggerated was the part where it said I collapsed.... the rest was pretty spot on.

    Nah... I'm not really embarrassed. I knew I'd catch some flak though. It happened, I figured people would be interested to hear about it. Especially in a weather community since it's very weather centric.

    It was actually mild when we set off. I knew the temp was going to drop, but didn't anticipate the drifting at that level. The snowflakes break up and traction is tough... a 137 with 1.25 lugs wasn't going to do the job. If I only had snowshoes!

    Myself and one other were rescued Sunday night in the Huron mountains. There will be a news story on the situation soon. Put it this way.... 60 mph winds, 2 stuck snowmobiles and 15 miles from anything except the Eagle Mine. Snow was 6 feet deep with 10 foot drifts. We both had hypothermia.... I started accepting we were going to freeze to death. Thanks to Allen and Ryan from the Eagle Mining company for saving our asses.

    I told the guys, December is toast. 100%. There might be no serious trail riding until mid Jaunary at this rate. 6 weeks of the season in the trashcan. This is 2011-2012. But worse. Not as warm, but just as useless.

    Basically now through Dec 22nd is toast. Lots of guys riding around in circles in the Grand Marais to Paradise to Newberry triangle. Some guy on my FB page said he put on 300 miles this weekend up there.

    I'm hoping to see something improve by the 15th onward. I'll be working my tail off for most of this month, but I still want snow pack to start piling up.
  21. Jonger
    Although... here's last year on this date.
  22. Jonger
    December 1st kicks off the snowmobile season. This year it's a no-go on day 1.

    They can make an argument that condensed populations use fossil fuels more efficiently.... I can see how it's possible, but I'm not sure if that is really panning out. Less people the better -- everywhere.

    LoL You're going to be disappointed.

    I remember the 85' cold spell.
