It's just not at the moment looking very promising - granted... But D5-7 still has ample time for better reveal. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I do post snowfall amounts for the mid atl during the fall, so I keep an eye on it. I think I am in pretty good shape down there. Its up here where I will be too high.

Typhoon Tip Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Tomorrow looks somewhat 'napey' ....first of the year. I don't really see 'DSD'.. The flow is SW/WSW ... But, with the open sky over a narrow sfc ridge, and the sun now getting warmer... could be an intoxicating hour of faux mild-like feel out there.

Thursday looks like intervals of clouds and too breezy ... Will you lay out a few strips of aluminum foil on the roof outside the bedroom window and sit Indian style with your back to the sun.. allowing for an hour or two of warmth on nape… and maybe a slight T-shirt neck collar tan ? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s almost half a season of time. Lots can happen in 5 weeks. Not saying it does this year…but 5 weeks is 5 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It’s been a shitty snow season so far for most outside of eastern areas, but we’ve had some good solid cold, that’s for sure. That wreaks havoc on the roads/pot holes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I love snowmobiling, we owned 2 growing up as a kid and went fairly regularly. But it might be the biggest waste of time and money hobby going in this part of the country. My dad loved to snowmobile too, but he said the day he sold them was probably his best day as a snowmobile owner, given the amount of time and effort for such a short season. Not to mention the $$ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the $$ All depends where ya go. Been at it over 30 years, and it’s not a waste at all if you get your moneys worth each season. I take 3 good trips each winter(once in a while I’ll do 4 trips), 4-5 days at a clip(includes the weekend/long weekends), and believe me I get my fill. Where I go season is not short most years. And conditions are almost always fabulous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideas welcome! @cleetussnowGo to the VAST map and click on grooming for an idea of how freshly groomed the trails are and the click on the parking icon to show you where parking areas are located. Another good resource is the VT Hardcore Snowmobilers group on Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
