12-12-24...COLD!!! 15 below zero this morning (windchills 30 to 40 below at times)....going to slowly warm up through the weekend...with a slight chance for snow Saturday .....they have really backed off on this, from 3 to 4 inches to an inch or so, and only a 30 percent chance at this...

update 12-11-24...got some more snow 1-2 inches of fluff over night, and it's been snowing on and off all day...ground that was bare is now white again....very nice scenery with the snow today...but winds are starting to pick up, and we are expecting some bitter wind chills through...

About the same time as most of these OLD FARTS on here...lol....( 99-2000)

UPDATE....lots of melting the last 3 days (UGH).....lakes look terrible... fisherman are still reporting 2-4 inches of ice...if we can make it through today without a lot more melting we should be ok....but the snow in my yard went of 5 inches down to less than 2 as of 8 am this...

They were telling us a trace an inch down here....we ended up with 3-4 with another inch of power on top of that...My mom's place up by Lac Du Flambeau, had a good 5-6 inches....with another 2" of fluff on top of that.....it was nice to see after how we started last year, but the lakes aren't...

Of course our trails are NOT open yet...just wanted to update you on what's going on....We are making ice...Nokomis is mostly froze over, and guys have been ice fishing in the bays for well over a week now...they are reporting 3-4 inches of ice, and it's going to remain cold the next couple of...

Quiet?? Nice...I was wondering how they compared...haven't ridden in one yet...noise and vibration..are a huge deal for some of us.. Certain Polaris models seem very loud compared to the Defender, and I noticed Kawi has quite a bit more horsepower than either one, even with their base model (not...

KAwi makes a very good cab model, in the Ridge....they are impressive for a first year build, and much cheaper than a Polaris or a Can am (by almost $5,000 depending which model you buy).....now if KAwi could come up with some better accessories, and options for customer's they'd really have...

I know cat fans are excited...and Cat has generated the most interest lately with their new models...and that's great for us sledders..However..Textron could give two poops about snowmobiles...they are an off road company, and mainly purchased arctic cat for their utv/atv tech....that push to...

No reason to get all technical...lol...there are always variables with weather..but LA Nina tends to work in our favor in the northwoods of Wisconsin, Northern Minnesota and Yoop...which is what we ALL want right? Normally I'm the pessimistic turd here...lol...but some of you are taking the...

Yes, we know this year sucked...but look at the difference from last year to this year..these pictures were a year ago on this date, and today..ice almost all the way off Lake Nokomis (last year it took until early May)

That can be true...however 2022-23 was a moderate La Nina, and here in northern Wisconsin it was a really good season...though we did start a week later than we had planned (new years weekend we opened)

While this Winter and Snowmobile season were a complete loss, and absolutely depressing this year....there are signs that the weather pattern is about to change and next Winter could be epic!!!...According to scientists at the US Climate Prediction Center... El Nino is dissipating, and slowly...

They actually threw in the towel before we did....and were one of the reasons we decided it's over....now things can certainly change...but as you said...looking at the long range forecast....there is no way in hell we are gonna open......However as everybody knows we always get snow in March...

Well....it's done.....I was informed by our club president that even if we get hammered with a big snow fall...WE WILL NOT BE OPENING THE TRAILS THIS YEAR....apparently a couple of clubs to our north have stated that they will NOT be opening, no matter what happens....and that pretty much does...

welp...once again we in northern Wisconsin are getting missed by the next system....a short blast of colder air the end of the week, which could give some rideable snow to the snowbelt areas to the north (Ironwood/Hurley).....then back into the 40s with the possibility of RAIN early to mid next...

5 to 6 inches in the Nokomis area...was expecting an inch or two...but got hit with the heavier bands for once..it's that good heavy, wet stuff too....probably won't last past the weekend...but at least I can spin around my neighborhood a bit tonight

Well....we got a surprise over night...woke up to 5 to 6 inches of wet snow in the Nokomis area....was only expecting an inch or two....nothing is open, and the lakes suck...coulda used this a month ago...but it's something...I can at least spin around my yard after work tonight

It's looking less, and less likely that trails will open....that being said...if we get rideable snow...they will open if the county gives the green light...land owner easements do not end until March 31st at midnight.....realistically...another stretch of warm weather would be very bad..some...
