I am praying to the snow Gods that next weekend will bring snow for the Barrie Collingwood area, the wether channel looks promising as it is gradually getting colder with snow in the forecast......Ok boys and girls.....lets all pray!!!

Wow been watching the weather out in Alberta it's been like spring there all winter....same here in Manitoba finally got cold but going to warm up again....

Yes we are preying for a huge storm so keep your tanks full...


Rick

it's one of those years where the jetstreams have changed the directions of the weather we want.

agree paul.we need to figure out how doc does that lol.

i hope we get some so i do some local riding.:) i,ve got my fingers crossed my toes crossed.lol

I've tried to be the eternal optimist, but my patience is wearing thin. Cannot believe how much snow has disappeared up here in the last week.

well its 3.00pm here in mississauga. and its raining like crazy as usual.:(

Well barrie area and north are supposed to get up to 20cm of lake effect snow tonight and the temps are going down for for the weeks and flurries in the forcast as well, so mabey we can salvage february!!!

Snowing like a bandit here north of Parry Sound , started around 3pm and hasn't stopped :D Was just out shovelling, have a good two inches of fresh powder and the temps are dropping!! Just when you have given up Mother Nature answers the call :thumbsup:

Hi guy's. We just returned from Florida yesterday and WOW what a difference a week makes! We had a solid 12 inches of new snow in the driveway that i spend 1 1/2 hours blowing out and now this morning we have had at least 6+ inches of new snow again. We must have had the storm on our tail when we left toronto yesterday cause we had bare pavement all the way home (left TO at 11:30am) And I'm supposed to drive to Ottawa for a course today..yay

nothing like leaving Tornado watche's in florida only to come home to winter storm warning.

with what we are getting here right now all it is going to be is a reason to sweep off the windshield of your vehicle.

ya same here,but atleast the ground is froze AGAIN.

but atleast the ground is froze AGAIN.

the ground here was like mid april with no more frost in it a week ago. that rain sure brings out the frost in the ground.

Wow it's -25 out here in the Interlake just outside of Winnipeg just a nice winter day..... but we have gotten soft this winter now it's cold out...


Rick

ok we have had nearly 12 inches of fresh snow since last night. just spent 2+ hours blowing out my driveway and its still snowing. this pic doesn't do it justice but so you know the trees in the background are 16-18 feet high. my pile in the middle is now pretty close to 10 feet high.

If you have a trailer you should go to Huntsville. Its not to far from Barrie & they got lots of snow. I was there yesterday, the trails were rough but they were getting better the closer we got to Sprucedale. I would tell you more but my sled broke down & that was as far as I got. The groomers were starting to head out around 4pm & they were calling for 20cm last night, more today & looks like snow squals for mon & tues. Temps are also going to stay below 0. It's about time & of coarse my sled is down & the trails are starting to get good. :bash:

We got seriously dumped on here, an honest 6 plus inches!!! The temps are dropping (-14 here right now) so this should be the best week of the year :D

Here's a pic :)

Well here in Trout Creek we got about a foot last night and it is still coming down all day then were are suppose to get another 15 cm tonight. :D . I think we should have close to 2 feet by morning. I got grounded by the old man because of last night. Long story don't ask.lol :hallo1: . Parents eh!? I bought my sled and pay for everything for it but im grounded off it till this saturday and ill have to work all weekend anyways. Boo-urns.lol.. Oh well.

Wow, look at that picture!!!
I've got my reading week coming up, and I'm going to be spending most of it up north.
Can't wait to get into that snow! I hope the groomers are out during the week... less traffic on the trails, means smoother travel for my Phazer! I love being one of the first sleds down a freshly groomed trail.

LOL, fresh trails mid-week are the best!! :D

It's been a long wait but winter is finally here, hopefully i can get out in the next couple of days and put some serious miles on the new sleds.

looking at all those pics just makes my work week seem REALLY long from this seat ...... C'MON FRIDAY!!!!!!!

mother nature and the snow gods finally sent some happy powder.buried the sled in some 7 foot drifts today.still snowing and blowing pretty bad to go too far on the sleds.
I think i'm going to go and curl up somewhere and let my muscles recoup. for a day.

glad to see you got snow

LOL, here you there :D Wife and I had our first decent trail ride today, didn't realize how out of shape the 'sledding muscles' were! One of those rides where you spent the final 30 minutes wishing you were home already :dazed:

It looks like Durham Region got about 6" today, so maybe the idgits will stay home next weekend & the trails up north will be safer to ride on :sarcasm:

well it was a great day as it snowed allllll day!, I work at a bodyshop n Mt. Albert wich is just south of sutton and we had a good foot there, and I live in Scarborough just off the 401 and its crazy here.......called up to my mothers and she said there is tonnes of snow up there in the collingwood area....so should be a great weekend for sledding.....finally!!!! here are some picture I snaped tonight from my condo over looking the 401.

Cory,
i know the feeling with those tired bones. when you get like that you have a tendency to give'er for the last hour because you want to get back to the couch. that's when you are weak and the crash comes. i've almost went into the rhubarb a few times rushing to get back to ride the couch.

Well us here too. The radio said from sat night to sunday morning we got 50+ cm. And it came down pretty well all day today 2. :D
