  1. We ended up with a settled 10 inches from the first storm from the groomer barn north, another 6 inches and we'd be able to make a pass Sunday after muzzleloader ends. Heading south towards my house maybe a compacted 3 inches left. Amazing what 400 feet of elevation will do.
  2. Probably about 3.5" inches here so far at 400', was over to the in laws til 2:30 and they were all rain, drove 45 mins back west for my family's festivities and it was snowing since noon, now big puffy cotton balls, roads are slick as shit, nice wintery appeal. Seems like most of the snow is gonna happen tonight for us, will be curious what I wake up to
  3. Well, definitely changing the oil in my generator tomorrow morning, haha. God damnit, we just cut all the blow downs out of trails, looks like we'll start again on Sunday....
  4. CAR with no WSW yet, will be curious to see what they think, probably an advisory instead
  5. Since I'm still learning, you're thinking a return to normal to above normal temps towards the 2nd half of December after the cold period the first two weeks? Just want to make sure I don't get my hopes up haha.
  6. Honestly pretty spot on probably, the NWS does do a good job of accounting for local topography and natural snow lines, around here they're usually spot on.
  7. CAR isn't very aggressive, will be curious what GYX thinks.
  8. About an inch so far and looks like radar has fallen apart a bit, but still lightly falling. Nice mood flakes with the wood stove rolling along. Feeling 3-6 inches Thursday night for here, prefer no snow so things freeze better, but at least I'll have enough to take my 2001 800 triple grand touring project for a spin around the yard. Gonna swap it over to Mach Z pipes and carbs next summer and possibly ship the motor to crank shop to make 200hp on pump gas.
  9. Really hoping we don't get more than 2 or 3 inches so the ground can freeze early next week, but it is what it is. We're about ready to go for our trails except one last bridge that we need to haul material in with the groomer anyways
  10. Life will be good north of the 45th parallel hopefully the next few weeks.
  11. My buddy shot a 206 lbs 8 pointer last night currently hanging in my garage, first thing with horns he's seen all season.
  12. We're still able to ride from the house here but need some snow really badly. Taking the ol lady to Mont Valin school vacation week since she's a teacher and I had to get a Condo on the mountain since riding in and out of Jonquire is bad right now when usually they have 5 feet. So far this isn't worse than 2011-2012 season for me, but if winter ends the same way that one did this season will win the worst ever award...
  13. We usually do decent in these setups, hoping for 4 inches to give the drags something to work with after this Ice completely locked down our base.
  14. Looks like a good setup! Did you guys build that yourselves or have someone make it for you? My next big want is a brush bar for the drag to help trim face slappers as you groom since I haven't met a club that doesn't like theirs
  15. You should have a good weekend up north, took yesterday off to groom another 60% of our system, just one more trail left to do the other guys are packing today with sleds so we can take the groomer. Hopefully ride 200 miles Saturday, full on winter fun!
  16. Closing in on 7 inches from what I can tell measuring in a few spots to average, still ripping out there. Very Happy with this storm so far.
  17. 5 inches total currently of fairly fluffy stuff, still coming down, picked up and inch in the last hour, wood fire is ripping along nicely and enjoying the flakes. Let's see if we can squeeze another inch or two based on the radar, looks completely dry 25 miles south of here but nice steady snow to our southwest it appears
  18. 1/2" of snow here, starting to come down more steadily, been lightly falling since Noon. Hoping we still get our 6+ as I've already teed up to take off Thursday to go grooming
  19. Got the groomer out today on one trail, real close to being good on the rest, 6 inches and I think we'd be opening the rest of the system
  20. Snowing probably close to inch and hour rates, perfect time to run to Greenville and get her some new snowmobile gear and lunch, hopefully we get another 4 inches and I'll be perfectly happy with this storm.
  21. That's what I want, If we got an exact repeat Sunday and Monday will be full 10 hours grooming days opening the system, I'm gonna bet lower though with only 4 or 5 inches and get half the trails open hopefully
  22. Radar says we've been in rain for a bit, was snowing up til about 2 mins ago as it had flipped back the past half hour, nice Wintery morning out there, two towns up the old man said they had about 9 inches when he left at 5am so guess closer to 10 by the time it's all said and done. Good starter storm for sure.
  23. The snow definitely blew and drifted around a bit here last night, I'd say 7.5 inches and is now pinging sleet with freezing rain mixed in. Now to minimize the rain damage coming to the pack. This is real man snow for sure, about the ideal storm to form a base, if we repeat this Saturday we're in business!
