how much snow do you think we'll get this winter? hate to say it but in my area [southern minnesota] i don't think we'll get much.

personally i think this year is gonna be just like last year for everyone. *its already hot as #### 90-100 in most areas. *and its gonna be above average temps for as long as the forecasts go, so im betting on a year the same as last.

http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I am hoping for a good 12 inch base plus about 6 feet of powder...............(pinch)...ok, i am dreaming, i am hoping for more than 6 inches http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

studboy, I too am not expecting much in north/central iowa. *Things can't be as bad as last year though, my first ride in my area was superbowl week.

Knowing my luck it will probably be great, *being I'm low on cash after I bought my gramps farm. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Im up on the lamp posts right now attaching the stop signs and trail markers. * http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

And I just finished boarding up the lower level of my house. *And installed a sump pump in the basment. *But that goes into a re freazer so nothing goes to waste. *

Ice age here we come.

I like that Machzzz1. *I'm thinking(hoping) we will have an average year here in ND. *It would be nice to be riding by thanksgiving but I definetly wouldn't mind a year like when I bought my current sled and I was breaking it in on dear hunting opener.

I guess we will be getting our normal 8 or 10 feet of the white stuff here on the west coast of the island HE HE HE http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I'll just drive to find it. *I think that I'll be up in canada alot his season. I'll check out Buffalo nd the endgland states also.

My guess is close to the average of 100" , that is averaged at our airport,(south of me)always get more closer to Lake Ontario. If not, drive to Tug Hill, usually get between 150"-300" per year there.

"NORMALLY" we get about *240 inches of snow every year in Mancelona, * Michigan. * *From Mancelona to Elmira is the "Snowbelt" of Northern Michigan.

I heard that one extreme follows another, I hope that means a cold wet winter. *I don't ride around home much anyway, no trails just ditches and fences to hit. But it would be nice to test and tune in snow and not grass!!!

I know I've been praying to the snow gods!!! http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I'm going to JWheelers House.

I might be moving to Dayton Ohio, does anyone know if there is any good snow there for sledding, or how far I would have to drive to find decent sledding snow?? *Thanks for the help.

Crazy Canuck....soon to be ex Canuck...lol

With the crusty past winters....im hopeing for at least a pretty good one. *The snow god has to shine down on me soon!!! *Or im going to stop praying!!! *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

being from buffalo, i just keep on praying for lake effect!!!!! http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Lesse, in my area, an inch - two if I'm lucky! *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

I'm predicting 60-70 inches over the season. *Lots more than last year.

I would tell you all but first you have to atone!

I want to be where jwheeler is...........

Come on up guys as the middle of december rolls around i will have lots of white stuff to share. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

What were we talking about?

WEll given that its cold enough, I'm hoping for a very good winter. *Usually the amount of snow we get depends on the lake and the amount of lake effect we get. *If nothing else I do own a trailer and a truck. *Upper michigan here I come.

I hate to say it but I think were in for another bust it's the beginning of septemder and we are still in the 80's http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif *All I know is I fininsh school in Dec. and I will travel as far as I have to to justify my new sled.

IM not extremly worried about the snow situation, last year was a horrible winter and i logged 4550 milles because when it does snow here it comes in anywheres between 1-3ft, hopefully we'll have a good winter though, seeing that we have some hot sleds comin out cant wait to get my f7 snopro http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif *if not i WILL drive to where the snow is * *


Cat and Doo all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here in southwest minnesota and southeast south dakota, I'm thinking will have an above average year since a mild el nino is supposed to hit us. *It is starting to cool off now too. *I believe this was the 2nd wettest August in SD history

I just finished reading an article on the drought we've had this year and the last sentence said the National Weather Service was predicting low percipitation through the winter. *

But then again these are the same yahoos that can't figure out if it's going to rain tomorrow. *So I'm hopeful.

I was told that you always get the same amount a precipation every year, weather is comes in rain or snow the same amount will fall in one year so after having such a dry summer here in quebec i guesse this wimter will be good if what i heard is true ! *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

My motto: *"Have snow?...will travel!"

Lickin' *I just bought a new trailer yesterday so I'm with you. *I live in the west country parts of south bend so I know the pain. *But im always looking for new people to ride with so we will have to hook up sometime. *Only problem at this point is that I still dont have my 440 prox and have no clue when i can expect it. But when it comes in, i'll have a garge full of lightweight parts and mods

well i believe that this august in maine was one of the DRIEST weve ever had, we got less then .10 inches of rain. *hmmmmm this all sounds familier..... * *LAST YEAR! *now its mid september and were still in the 80's!!! *in maine! *its supposed to be 60. *but supposedly its giong to cool off a lot, like 50's during the day and 30-40 during the night! *next week is supposed to be raining every day.

dooittoit ... *Your the one who has been hogging all the rain !!!
A couple weeks ago they reported that this was the driest August on recorded weather history here in Southern Ontario . I forget what the total precip was but is was similar to sledcrazy's .10 inch
I still haven't formed an opinion on how much snow we will have this winter , some of the long range predicitions are calling for a very dry winter . But I think there may be less snow fall in areas and other places will get dumped on like what happened last winter in New York City. Any how it is cooled off here and we are getting a bit of rain.

snow???

what is that?

I just heard the prediction for Minnesota coming from a leading Climatologist in the area. *He predicts about normal temps and normal snow. *Considering what we just had, that'll be just fine.

The farmer's almanac is calling for a "bad" or in our case, good, winter this year. But this week the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that the was another El Nino this year and it would be warm and dry in the northern US.

Lets hope the farmers are right!
