Caught the weather down here this morning. Looks like maybe a big one this coming Thurs. Hopefully it will pan out.
You better check again.
The weather channel and NWS are already talking big winter storm approaching for wednesday and thursday next week.

+1 Harski. Our family spends the Holidays at our house for the best chance of having a white Christmas. My son that lives down south married a Florida girl, so its always great to see those two making snowmen.
Plus I've been working on getting these cleaned up and ready in hopes the grandkids get to ride them on snow this year. I guess I can always put the wheel kit on the Kit Cat like I did last year if I have to.View attachment 36367
Unfortunately a "Big winter storm" these days is 3 inches of snow. Unlike years ago when a "big winter storm" was 10" or more. Now the weather man gets his undies in a bundle if he can predict 3" of snow. Channel 15 in madison has what they call a "Weather Alert Day". They issue this alert if they "see" something coming a few days in advance. The last snow we had totalled just under 3".......you guessed it, a "Weather Alert Day" was issued a day in advance. LOL.....pitiful I say.

Team, this is some of the fun we have at the in-laws. Looking back at pics we did not have snow for Xmas last year. These photos are a few weeks into the new year. The snow boarder is my nephew to whom seems to have nine lives and is willing to try anything. In this photo he is jumping a little creek at the bottom of the hill. This creek ads a whole new dimension when just sledding down the hill to try and not fall in. My nephew and brother-in-law have been the unlucky ones so far that have fallen in. We'll see who gets dunked this year!

I agree. Down here in N. Illinois I was noticing in the rain today that my lawn is completely green. Sad since today is the opening of snowmobiling season here. I bought a sled too after sitting out the last two seasons. A frustrating start!

we'll have a serious problem if you post that you had to mow again
My lawn is greener now than it was in the summer.

A BIG storm on Thursday would be the Best "50th" Birthday present I could that day!

Christmas is usually a trip to the north woods (from St. Paul).
Traditionally it is before Christmas, returning home on Christmas Day.
Nearly all my plans include sledding, but most times I have been disappointed.
A recent trip (2004?)to the UP had (Peterson's in Onton) good snow, but the rain started on the morning of the 23rd, by the 25th the UP lost all ridable snow. I had 3 good days.
This year it is Black Bear Resort, (St. Germain) but as of now, I see no reason to drag a trailer. Little St. Germain Lake could still be open. We will come home the 25th, instead of the 26th.
Best of Luck
