Ok, I don't want anyone to get offended. I am by no means judging anyone, but I am very curious about something. A ton of talk on this site this week has been about the warm temps and pending rain. Lots of questions about trail conditions and should I go/not go. I can understand all of that...

I just wanted to give everyone the early heads up that I have been contacted by the Ariens Company and they are going to be donating a 2-stage snow thrower to be auctioned off at the ride in this season. We do not know the exact model number yet, but any Ariens 2-stager is an awesome machine...

Here I woke up this morning and all the models were verifying the forecast I had yesterday (snow in the central Midwest vs. the southern Midwest) and was feeling pretty good that after all the hulllabaloo of yesterday, I might be vindicated and then notice thread is gone. Shoot-ta. Oh well...

Ok, Ok, I know there is not powder over the hood conditions right now, but cripes, it's only December 1st. Historically, there is usually only a few inches of snow on the ground up here at this time of the year. Also, historically, things usually change in fairly dramatic fashion as we go...

I got a note from someone saying that a MI State Police Dog is missing near Onaway Michigan in NE Lower MI and had hopes that someone in the area or passing through might come upon him and help out. You can read more in this news story and on a facebook page. -John

I heard that there was an app out there that will turn your I phone into a Wifi hotspot. For example, Nora has an I phone and there is supposedly an app out there that will allow me to connect to the world wide web via a Wifi connection through the I phone as it uses a standard or 3G/4G cell...

Seemed like quite a few "creative liberties" and embellishments done to make the story line more exciting, but loved watching the footage of all the snow. Would be nice to get a 60+" storm in 36 hours. :) -John

Here you go. Seasonal Outlook -John

The storm currently dumping all the snow in the northern Rockies will get better organized in KS later today and then track north into MN tomorrow. By tomorrow night it will be sitting near International Falls MN and is indicated to have a central pressure of 963, which is equivalent to a...

As of right now, both the Time Bandit and Northwestern will not be part of the next season. The Discovery Channel is suing the Hillstrand Bro's for breach of contract and Sig is standing behind the Hillstrands by choosing not to be part of this seasons filming. Rumors are that they all are in...

It's not likely to be a big snow storm, but the models are onto the idea of merging Hurricane Igor with a strong area of low pressure working through northeast Canada later this weekend and early next week. The result is currently forecasted to be a storm that would dwarf the storm of the...

Some snow at Togwotee this morning. Brooks Lake Lodge too. -John

Just a quick note to let you all know I have been "volunteered" to work the Milwaukee Snowmobile Show for our trail grooming entity. I'll be there from the time the doors open to when they close both Friday (5pm-10pm) and Saturday (10am-8pm), but will not be there Sunday. Be sure to stop by and...

The big ONE today! Love YA! Daddy.

Have been meaning to put this in for a few weeks, but have forgotten. Anyway, we are having our annual trail brushing and signing get together October 22nd and 23rd (Friday and Saturday). The Lac La Belle Lodge in Lac La Belle and The Pines in Copper Harbor are again offering free lodging to...

The town of Wadena MN was hit very hard by a tornado yesterday evening. A friend of mine- and the person responsible for the creative design of this website in years past, lives in Wadena with his family. I have not heard if they are all OK or not, but the pictures from the town are...

Looks like the BBB&G has a new animal adorning the bar. Check it out. -John

Sounds like some awesome riding can be done. Togwotee Pass reporting 20" new and a base of 75". Still another 6-10" to fall with this current event. Sure hope Carter takes some pics during his ride today! And shares!! Laramie (in the desert) has 8-10" new already with more on the way. Snowies...

OK all you I Pod experts... I am trying to install an app on my I Pod Touch (Sirius Radio Skydoc App). I have downloaded from the store onto my computer and synchronized the I Pod with the computer, but the app does not show up in my menu. What am I doing wrong? -John

Here is is everyone. Rules are the same as in past years. The FIRST person to guess the correct date (not time) that all the snow will be gone will win a ThinkSnow t-shirt. Others guessing the correct date after the winner will get a ThinkSnow sticker. Here is what the Glacier looked like...
