Made reservations in Millinocket for the weekend. I realize they don’t have much more snow than we do right now but I’m going to give it a go anyway. I’ve never been past Augusta so it will be great to see new country. I used to love watching that logging show that was based there so even if the riding isn’t great, I’m sure we’ll have a good time.

nice looking truck, looks like it's loaded. decent price, but may be a little high. make sure you do a search for comps to check prices

Thanks. Yeah I’ve already checked comps and looked at trade in values and private sale stuff. The price actually isn’t far off.... I’ve found they are too high by about a thousand dollars. The truck was actually listed for like 600-700$ less but has since gone up, which I’m curious about and waiting to hear back on

As soon as someone shows any interest, online or in person lol.  A few people start clicking on it and all of a sudden the price goes up, just like plane tickets.

The town is mostly under 400' elevation, but once you get up near Rip dam at 1,000+ I think the snow will be a lot better.  Same thing goes if you ride in KWW east of Baxter.

At least it looks like winter out here this am with some Lt snow falling, -SN, 32°F

Mood flakes all morning in Augusta, enough to whiten the brown grass exposed by the recent warmth.  The 1/10" of gritty snow at home makes 11 events with measurable snow this month, though the 9 smallest total a mere 4.3" and the month's total will finish about 4" below average.  January will be about 6° AN and either 3rd or 4th mildest - it's neck-and-neck with 2017 but way short of '02 and '06.

I've been reading on on some papers regarding ENSO (not necessarily newly published papers) but one thing I find intriguing regarding ENSO is how the ENSO event develops...and more specifically EL Ninio events. Obviously each event is different...different strengths, where the warmest anomalies are located, but this one paper I'm reading talks about HOW the event develops...I guess typically you would expect EL Nino's to develop as the easterlies weaken (or reverse in strong events) the WHWP spreads east...however, EL Nino events as of late have had a tendency to develop in the central Pacific.

Can anyone think of a winter that gave a big thump right at the start (early December) and then pretty much a shutout after mid December?  

‘96-97 was close but then March started snowing again and obviously the finale on Mar 31-Apr 1 happened.

11-12?  Many folks got their biggest snow from the Octobomb, and though it was kind of a bust here (12-16 verified as 4.5" of 5:1 mush) our biggest was on Nov. 23.
