I remember the event you are talking about, in fact, here is a picture of AL with his 159" 900 M stuck in the snow. Something I learned relatively quickly with regards to the weather is that there are NO GUARANTEES! Only probabilities of something happening. The general public seems to hate...

Here is a link to some autocorrects on smart phone conversations. Caution # 1: Mature content Caution #2: Do not read while eating or drinking, you choke or spit out your food they are that funny. http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/the-25-funniest-autocorrects-of-2012 -John

So I am sure that many of you have seen the handful of spammers getting onto the board and posting their crap. I have been working with Paul (the great guy that helps me with the nuts and bolts of the discussion board) on ways to try and stop it completely. We already have two layers of spam...

Below is an image of what is called a baroclinic leaf cloud (bright white area from NW TX up to SW Midwest). It's the signature cloud formation at the beginning stages of a strong area of low pressure. Looks like this is going to be a big one for the areas discussed the past few days. Ok...

I know this is so "last year", but if the Thursday storm does not bring us at least 4-6" of snow I may just do the "Tebow for Snow" on the AL Cam! -John

Meant to put this in the journal tonight and just plum forgot. So the whole Dee clan is in the truck headed down Houghton-way this morning to do some shopping. It's really ugly out, raining, foggy, temp 36. Anyway, Gracie notices the fog and and says she wonders what makes fog. So her and Nora...

Just wanted to bring to your attention that the Trailside Lodge in Calumet has set up a trail cam and I have it going on the site. You can find the link to it off to your left in the menu. The cam has infra-red night vision, so you can view it at night too! If the image does not appear, it is...

No problem venting pwolfy2003. I got to vent about some knuckleheads that called me out on stuff I was either not wrong about or had even been wrong yet. I think there is some very good advice given though and that is to not put too much faith in having reliable snow up this way in December. It...

I realized I am having a major computer upgrade done tomorrow, so would not be able to work on the update today. So I spent all my free time this morning and early this afternoon updating the outlook. Remember, it's little more than a dart toss! -John

Ok, this it probably an over reaction and I will probably regret this, but I guess I just need to vent. It is obvious to anyone that the forecast did not pan out as thought. The storm hit about 150 miles further south than anticipated. I've been forecasting for over 30 years now and have had...

Well, I am about halfway finished with my normal Sunday work and there were some changes to the way this current system is going to pan out and it was eating at my that my forecast from back on Friday morning was still hanging out there, so I figured I would do a quick update. Below is a map of...

I have been thinking of posting this question/discussion for a while now and with the site becoming more active and a bit of a lull in the weather, I figured this would be a good time. As the title mentions, what I am looking for is your best snowmobile memory to date. It may or may not be...

As mentioned in the Journal, I finally got around to producing a smart phone friendly version of the site. Well, actually it's not the whole site, just the main page and I created a custom page for NCN directory as well. All of the links take you to the regular pages of the site as I did not see...

It's Lenny's Birthday today! Hope I have this right. Happy Birthday you young buck! -John

State Champs! Good job boys! UP tough! -John

Looks like some healthy system snow followed by lake effect will paint the MN Arrowhead and northern 2/3rds of the UP in white tonight and tomorrow. Might we be saying good-bye to the bare ground for the season? Hmmmmm. Stay tuned Snowfans! -John

I hate to sound like an old fuddy-duddy, but what the heck were they thinking!? If I wanted my new computer to act like a tablet, I would have just bought a tablet! What a messed up OS! Great for social media and other mindless stuff, but not so great for business applications and a PITA to try...

This was passed on to me by the MSA and I am passing it along to you all! http://www.johndee.com/temp/takeafriend.pdf -John

Things may not be too exciting in the Northwoods in the next week or so, but starting later tomorrow, all you snow addicts can start watching the western cams for some decent snow. Looks like ID, MT and far northern WY to get hit pretty hard later tomorrow into early Sat and then some more snow...

I have already posted this in the Misc section, but figured the western area would be good too. I got a note from the folks at Togwotee that efforts are afoot to try and close more areas out west to motorized recreational activity. Some of the areas are favorites to those going to the...
