    Got a 12 hour shift planned in the groomer starting at 4pm Friday afternoon to groom all the new snow, 2 Bang energy drinks and a couple slices of gas station Pizza will hopefully fuel me for the 66 mile run (all out and back trail runs).

    Usually that means good for the north country, but don't want to see this slide too far north. We ended up with a foot when I expected 6 inches on Saturday so another 6-12 and we'll be in as good of shape as the winter of 2018-2019.

    Did 400 miles this weekend, hit opening weekend at Libby camps then up to the trains and back Friday then did a loop to Jackman Saturday, we stayed off the trails a lot but getting in and out of Jackman was the thinnest I've seen it, rideable buy barely. Can't see how anyone in their right mind rode through the forks this weekend, luckily we have a bypass for that. Just need my 6 inches of paste and I'm thrilled, we'll be in decent shape then

    Just need 6 inches in north central Maine net of any rain and I'm happy since it'll be time to start the groomer!

    No that's my buddy's 22 Backcountry X package, looks better in person in my opinion. I prefer my black Renegade X, but waivering between a 900 Turbo and a Lynx 850 for my spring order this year. We'd be in decent shape then, hoping that Thursday night into Friday pans out for us as we're 8 inches of wetter snow away from the trails shaping up nicely

    Nice 90 mile ride yesterday to end 2021 south and west of Greenville, rain seems to have gone away for today and getting a couple inches of snow tomorrow, possibly more Thursday, getting closer every day!

    Bud and I rode 45 miles on Sunday up in North Central Maine on unplowed roads, 2 inch ice base with 6 inches of Saturday fluff on top, hit a few higher elevation ponds also. Wednesday needs to trend back this way a bit and we'd probably start grooming in a decent amount of places. Hopefully the potential around Christmas Day works out for us too and we'd really be styling!

    As long as that is the last big NW jump we'll still be fine, but I really dont want another ice storm so praying it stays or ticks back SE.

    NWS is giving us all snow on Tuesday and again on Friday, hope it verifies because our winter carnival in town is Saturday the 20th and that'd get our trails into really good shape. They're still pretty good considering we have almost no snow, but we really need a refresher.

    CAR upped the expected totals for us from 9 to 13, got a long way to go to get there but there is a mean band right on the doorstep that is hopefully all snow. Holding steady at 29F
  12. TheMainer
    Jackman area has had it tough in this, we've been right on the edge of the heavy stuff (on the right side) most of the day, estimating 4 to 5 inches now, but that is a nice band coming in off the ocean that should land home in about an hour
  13. TheMainer
    Awesome, thank you. Sorry for the questions, only a few people actually focused on Maine in here, haha
  14. TheMainer
    I hope so, about 3.5 inches in Monson at about 8am, dryslotted for a minute but seems back. Hope the radar keeps filling in up to a foot and we'll be styling when I fire up the groomer tomorrow.
  15. TheMainer
    Got a few snapchats from up north as I'm in southern Maine right now. Looks to be absolutely ripping. Hopefully some snow stays in the trail instead of all ends up off the side.
  16. TheMainer
    I'm hoping as thing thing keeps moving north it gets more intense (like the Euro shows) and gets the totals up Skowhegan north, if we get a foot we'd have all our trails opened, but 6 will allow us to get the two main ones done
  17. TheMainer
    I really hope this starts tucking back in towards Maine instead of exiting stage right, our snowmobiling related businesses are suffering bad up here with a complete crap season. This is the latest we haven't groomed in a season since at least the 90s, neighboring club has but they have a RR bed and we don't.
  18. TheMainer
    I looked and it seems the first grooming run I had last year was the 19th of January and I did a few hundred miles in Millinocket area that MLK weekend, so we're not as far behind last year as I thought. Hopefully things change before our winter carnival February 20th as that is one of the busiest days in town with winter activities (all outside and socially distant of course)
  19. TheMainer
    Haha, yeah Sebec is not a lake to venture on to early... We have about 10 inches on the lake in town that's 3 miles long, likely will stake it on Monday.
  20. TheMainer
    Temp creeping closer to freezing but holding onto all wet snow for now, hopefully mid levels don't torch, closest webcam to Monson.
  21. TheMainer
    Gotcha, thank you, so close to the 6-10 line I remember back in college waiting for your posts on HCS for each storm before I really understood anything about the weather or found this place which is now my drug when any storm threat pops up, haha. Can’t remember the last time I logged on HCS now.
  22. TheMainer
    I wonder how far north the heavy rain/snow line goes. Hoping a hard stop at the southern Piscataquis County border and that the storm is bringing in more cold air than CAR first thought. I know we'll warm as rates calm down but maybe by then we can pick up close to 6 inches at 850'
  23. TheMainer
    Let's see who wins on the snowfall track as GYX is looking at a colder solution and CAR is seeing a warmer solution where their service areas intersect GYX VS CAR
  24. TheMainer
    I'd honestly give $500 for that to verify at this point, should I go out and just burn a stack of cash in my yard to make it happen?
  25. TheMainer
    Yeah that helps for sure we tend to do well compared to even three towns south of here. Nice thing being where we're at is we're on the edge of GYX and CAR. CAR has 1-3 then rain, GYX two townships west has 3-5 with almost no rain, problem is the worst case is always the one that seems to win.
