Our trails have been open for about 6 days so far this winter.  It's 7:00am and 36 degrees out and my sleds have yet to see a trail.  Seems like last year.

We got some pretty good snow in the last few days but this time of the year it will not last long.

Looks like another blast on the way!!  I might need to get the Drifter off the snow pile before this one hits and ride it some more.

We had our first frost of the season a couple night back.  I really wish my wood pile was ready for the coming cold but I am getting there.

Maybe an inch on the ground here in NW Wisconsin and a couple days of 40 ahead.

This winter is looking like the winters of the late 70's.  The ground is mostly brown around here.

OK, so conditions have really changed here.  The snow pile is high even after having been abused buy a late night 15 minute beating.  We will again see how long it takes for the track to touch the ground as the snow melts.

May 19th and we have snow on the ground and 34 degrees.

Looks like a the Dakota's are getting some snow today.

We've got a foot on the ground here in northern Michigan  8).  I suspect it will all be gone within a couple weeks (but hoping not).  Our high school football team is in the playoffs (all home games so far), the first playoff game the team went out and shoveled the couple inches off the field, the last game (last Saturday) they had snowblowers out on the field blowing the 6-8" off the field.  I'm not sure WHAT they will do this Saturday.   ???

-2 this morning and the ground is white but barely.  Football in the snow sounds entertaining.

We went thru a big melt this last week and now we have added 6 inches of fresh snow today and over night.  Funny thing is our ground is not really frozen.

Post by: Interceptor398 on October 20, 2020, 03:33:56 PM
Snowing here, they say 3-5 inches but it won't stay??  Getting cold enough out that I fired up the boiler. Wish I could have stalled for a few more weeks but I can't let the pipes freeze so here we go!

A tad early?

Post by: Interceptor398 on November 13, 2021, 07:55:40 PM
First snow of the season here.  They say a couple inches but to early for it to stay.  It would be nice to have some on the ground for deer season next week.

Ah yes, frost on the pumpkin, a nip in the air - I am starting to get the itch and will no doubt fire a sled if for nothing else than the opertunity to bask in the aroma of 2-stroke, re-live past snow adventures, and dream of snow adventures to come.

-5 and 1 inch of snow with +40F on the way.

-5 is cold.  +40 does not sound like good snow weather.

We are starting our typical cold-warm-cold-warm-cold-warm cycle here in Michigan.  We got 10 inches of snow 2 weeks ago, then it got warm and melted.  Got another 12-14 inches over the last couple days and it's in the teens now, but 50 degrees predicted for early next week.  So frustrating...

Sounds like we will be getting enough to plow and then some 40+ days.

This year if I was going to ride I would have had to load the sleds up and haul them to a place where the trails were open. Not a good sledding season in my neck of the woods.

Trail conditions here in NW Wisconsin are "bad".

Rain, snow and 35F.

Post by: gixxer6 on December 14, 2022, 09:54:56 AM
Here in Northern Lower Michigan, it used to be we had rideable snow in early December through mid to late March.  Anymore, it's just January through February, even then we still have meltdowns.  That said, it's 37F here with no snow on the ground.  :(

Post by: Interceptor398 on December 20, 2022, 04:12:43 PM
We are up to a foot on the ground and a storm moving in.  Trails are open in my county and it would seem that unless we get a real warm spell there will be plenty of sleds out.

Post by: Interceptor398 on March 09, 2023, 06:39:08 PM
We had open trails for most of this winter here in NW Wisconsin.  Better than most winters but our snow is starting to sag pretty fast.
Title: Re: Wisconsin snow report.

We are having 55 degree days and 35 degree nights,  no snow anytime soon.

Sorry to hear.  I am sure more will be coming.

Trails be bad.  Tried to fire up the 82 Intruder and was met with a week battery.  Maybe tomorrow??

Got this from my club today.  Guess we will be making the most of the situation.

The Jackpine Savages Snowmobile Club will be having its club ride this weekend, January 20, 2024.

Due to there not being any snow and the trails not being open, we will be doing this by vehicle. We will meet at Wolf Creek Bar at 12:00pm (noon) and then travel around from there.

Please join us for a portion or all of the daily ride.

This might be a winter with no trail riding for me with temps like these.

Might need to fire up a sled for the first time this winter.
