About 6 hours from the house, not too bad of a drive, just getting through Quebec City with a trailer can be a little interesting sometimes. Probably will take the wife to Riviere Du Loop for 3 days presidents day week, but that's still 5 hours. We live on the trail here, typically we ride from the house NYE through March 15th, but the past few years have been abnormally bad.

Glad we went to Quebec this weekend snowmobiling instead of hoping last night's snow worked out, about 600 miles in 2 days of riding around Mont Valin and Forestville.

Id avoid Greenville at all costs until they get another foot. The trails east and west of the lake are through the woods and crooked which take a decent amount of snow to make nice. We trucked to Quebec to ride this weekend since everybody and their brother was riding Eustis to Millinocket areas.

Guilford, 30 mins south of Moosehead lake.

Around an inch here, storm definitely shit the bed, last NWS update here was still 4-6. Oh well, guess another week of not opening trails, local businesses are hurting after 4 straight crappy winters up here, might as well sell the sleds and move to somewhere we can golf year round.

Please dark green stay together til it gets here

That hopefully bodes well for us, starting now at the house and looks like a band moving through Tamarack territory heading our way!

Kind of surprised CAR is still going with this after things seem to be slipping away, still hoping for 5-6 here to help finally get the local snowmobile season started, but gut feeling isn't good

Hoping it comes a tic west up here, right on the edge I think of the better stuff. We get 4-6 I'll be able to do a pass with the groomer finally, though rather have 8-10. Hoping hardly any QPF today as it looks mostly wet

If that keeps sliding northeast we'll be happy here, decided to head to Quebec this weekend so that'll help the chances of us getting snow back home while I'm gone

Not sure what CAR was seeing, or is there some sort of preceding cutter to the potential Monday? "The next weather system to watch will be a frontal system approaching Friday night and pushing into the area on saturday. The GFS is carrying a more solid front with the potential if or south winds ahead of it to bring a warmup with wind and rain.The ECMWF, however, shows a less organized system brushing through with only a chance for some light precipitation and southerlies not strong enough to raise temperatures above freezing across the area."

Never got above 27 here today, staring at my 1 inch glacier and sad snow piles in the yard. I hope we can squeeze at least an inch tomorrow and maybe Tuesday ends up popping for us. If we get rain next week I'm selling and moving to Lab city. Finally move back north and can snowmobile out of my garage door and had the worst possible snow seasons since I did...

Took 2 hours off work to stake the lake today, 3 miles long, 10-16 inches of ice, another week of this and we'll be able to take our big machine across the ice. Might be bad for snow, but we're making ice like crazy up here. Hope something works out for MLK weekend, we have the base and frost, literally 6 inches and we can be grooming. Businesses are hurting after the last 4 crappy winters. Wife's 2017 900ace, could maintain 95 mph the whole way down the lake so we got the corners right.

If that would slide due east it'd be money here, but probably would split the St Lawrence with our luck.

About 1.5 inches of pure slush, better than I thought we'd do so far down in the river valley, will be curious what the groomer barn north is getting.
