And don't you worry - both setups are in the works. I plan on a little evening laser level action as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newer Sleds can vacuum up alot of nastiness that used to be lousy trail conditions. But if the trails get really whooped out, then it can still be tough. But if clubs keep up on things, and temps stay cool, that kind of crap doesn’t happen all too often in the areas where clubs are on top of things. It was -4°F when i left Eustis this morning, They would be extremely fast early today as the were yesterday, We left to go ride early yesterday and it was single digits and trails were flat/fast, Took my sled up to 100mph on Mooselook Meguntic yesterday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 This is what we wish for 7 days of 6 inch plus or like 57 two 12 inch plus storms. We wasted a ton of winter now. At least a couple good storms would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome. Looks very good. Sounds like you’re liking your new machine. That’s a beautiful thing. My buds went up Thursday to our cabin in Sinclair/Cross lake, and rode out to River De Loop on the St Lawrence in Quebec. They stayed overnight at Hotel Levesque, and rode/looped back to N Maine yesterday. They said it was fabulous. Was bummed I couldn’t make it this go around(work responsibilities), but I’ll get up again soon. Your pictures looked great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, as you said and I feel the same way, let’s hope we can grab a few opportunities and capitalize on them. If we can, it’ll take a lot of this current sting away some.

What? 2017-18 had a big dump in January, epic cold for weeks leading up to it, a spectacularly warm February but with some snow, and an epic March. 2012-13 had a great March but the snow part of that winter was decent from December on. But given February and March it was certainly back loaded. I’m talking about the rarity of a full on ratter flipping late in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazey Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Maritime storm update. Snowfall in my place is 15” (38cms) and still snowing. Probably will get a 20 spot out of this. Cape Breton destroyed. It’s Sydney’s White Juan. 2-3ft down and 1-2ft to go. This will be a generational storm for eastern parts of NS. Chase worthy. I was curious what would happen if an atmospheric river set up in winter. Now I know. Pic from Cape Breton with lots to go. Wild. 21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I don’t follow this line of thinking .. come Feb 15th we will have lost 2.5 out of 3 winter months. The vast majority of SNE has seen 15” of snow or less. You don’t save or salvage that type of winter. It’s lost. You can however get some snow to pad the stats to make it seem or “appear” better than it was. Thats really all that we are doing/ hoping. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever we receive from the 15th onward, we will enjoy and embrace of course, but it won’t be enough to wash away another terrible winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torch Tiger Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Snow in later Feb. and March and beyond (since that's the earliest we'd have any shot at sig snowfall) is about salvaging outlooks, stats and egos at that point.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Comparing this to 12-13 isn’t a good analog. Most people got a nice December storm that year and we had some nice cold settling in for late Jan and we were staring down the barrel of Nemo in the first week of Feb. We’re already past the point that season was making its comeback. I think the best anyone in SNE can hope for at this point is a couple of swings at a large ticket event. You can toss retention and all that other stuff out the window, it’s not happening. My guess is for SNE, we end up with a 7-10 day window with a couple of shots, then it’s over.

See I sort of agree but a winter turn around like 2007 would disagree. February, March, April all featured monster storms and big snows up here. Got like 6 feet in April 2007 at the ski area. Valentines Day, St Patty’s Day, Tax Day, etc. All had high-end storms mixed with a lot of smaller events. If it turns around enough it can erase Dec/Jan. But it needs to be sustained over two full months or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
