Temps have dropped, we are below freezing and it looks like we are going to stay cold. Things are freezing down fast, yesterday the weight of just a two place trailer left marks in the front yard and today the back yard was frozen enough to back in the fuel truck. So what was left out on the trails has or is freezing back down. But we will need to get some new snow for cooling and slide rail lube. It will come, it's just a matter of when. Forecast doesn't look great for the weekend, but don't give up ship yet, it's only Tuesday.
Here's Todays Video for.............
Just going to take the gamble and come up this weekend you never know in the north country!
ReplyDeletesame pray to them snow gods!
DeleteGo head up to big Moose Lake
DeleteHope that is going to be very little snow on it.. it'll probably be frozen up quick..We'll Knock off off a few 100+ mile runs...
At least the bar doesn't need perfect snow conditions (?)
weathers calling for 1-3" lake effect tommorow!!! lets hope for 6-12" pray to the snow gods ! heading up friday winging it!
ReplyDeleteAnybody have a measurement on the ice depth? Like on fourth lake?
ReplyDeleteJust curious if anyone checks it regularly?
4 mabey 5 in center bad around the shore
DeleteI spoke with a few ice fisherman on wed. 1/9 They said 2-3 inches. That was at daikers. Turned arouned and went back up hill. Maybe after this cold shot, give it to next week. Why take a chance
ReplyDeletewas up at still water around 1/9 they had 3 inches and they want 5 to open the lake so like said above maybe this week will do the job for the lakes
ReplyDeleteyeah things look pretty good long term. now that the snow washed out some the lakes should be good next week. If you believe in longer term models the end of the month looks very good. That darin guy at Ilsnow has some nice predictions about the polar vortex and all the other ingredients for cold and snow.....
ReplyDeleteKeep off the ice until it's a foot thick!!! Wait for some snow instead. Be smart, it's not worth it!
ReplyDeleteCome on. I had been on the ice for 2 weeks now.
ReplyDeleteYep you cant. Keep wasting the winter away riding the dead trails. LOL
DeleteSomething to think about this time of year, Just as your skis touch the ice picture in your mind, your wife, childred, family asking ? whay did he do that He knew it wasnt safe If you fail REST IN PEACE GOD BE WITH YOU!
