Where is the snow/cold?!?!??!?!

As an avid snowmoobiler/amateur ice fisherman this winter sucks. I have not put 1 mile on my sled. It has been nice keeping the truck clean all winter but dang I am bored. Anybody else bothered by the lack of winter, or am I the only one?

Finally gettting a touch of winter around here. Been snowing for awhile with 4-6 inches expected even though its been about 34 degrees all day. Only problem is there have been lots of accidents with 2 people dying already. There hasn't been a winter yet so people don't know how to drive yet.

I am! I'm so tired of this damn rain. I mean I can tow my sleds a couple of hours and get snow but it's nicer if you can use it closer to home too.....just tired of the dull dreary cold/rainy weather. Also as a photographer I really like being able to utilize the snowy weather for photo shoots but those have been far and few between this year too. It reminds me of a winter about 10 years ago that was just like this. Problem is that when you get a winter like this around here it often means you'll get inundated with mosquitos come summer....

Yep! Saw where Alaska got hammered, this winter. The Carolinas, Kentucky, and Tennessee got quite a bit of snow the past couple of days. It's been hit or miss.

Here in Kansas, we've had less snow than Texas. Sheesh! In 65 years living here, this is the mildest winter I can remember. But... that's okay. The old body resents the cold a little more each year.

When I met my wife, some 46 years ago, she had lots of relatives west of the Twin Cities. Then, I thought "What a great place to retire. Snowmobiling... Ice fishing..." As the years have taken their toll, I want nothing to do with moving any farther north!!! Now I understand why all the old folks from the North go south for the winter!!!! :>)

I've got about 4-500 miles on my '11 Switchback Assault, that I just picked up this year, and about 200 on my '05 600 Classic that was just given to me this season by my father. While both of those mileage counts are horrible in most respects, I don't ride for mileage anymore and other than last weekend, I've spent the past month of weekends, and two weekdays, up north snowmobiling. Spent 4 days in the U.P. last week with the woman (for V-Day) and we rode on some really good conditions, for a winter like this. It's out there boys and girls, you just got to be willing to go get it when the getting is good, that's all. I have to, where I'm at ya see. Minimum of 100 miles usually just to ride the stupid things but it was born into my blood and I can't see myself doing anything else come winter. :cheers:

 

Might be headed north to my family's lake front cabin in the mid-state area this weekend if this clipper that's supposedly heading our way makes it snow like they're calling for. If not, I might head to northern Ontario come the first/second weekend of March if need be.

 

I don't hear no fat lady!!!! :rollin:

There's no snow or rain here in Northstate because I bought a vehicle to handle it. Last year we had 140% of normal nearby, but we couldn't avail ourselves of it because I was driving the 'Vette then. Figures......
