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...

So I have been messing around with some ideas for apparel for the Keweenaw Kamo experiment and have put these ideas together. I am hoping to get some free "market research" from the site as to which one(s) you all like. I was going to do a poll, but persons cannot pick more than one and want...

So, I sit down this early am to start pouring over the latest run of model guidance and all of them indicate the birth of a tropical system out of a disturbance a couple of hundred miles to the south of Jamaica at the moment. All the global models then have the system to track almost due north...

This week I was contacted by someone in Copper Harbor helping to raise the money needed for a new playground for the harbor. She wanted to take out an ad to say this: This past January when we started fundraising, Vicki and Ken at the Pines were kind enough to let me solicit funds from our...

Just finishing up my work for today and could not help noticing that some decent snows look to be in the offing for much of the northern Rockies. Most areas have already had their first coating of snow occur, but they may need to break out something larger than a 12" ruler for what will come in...

Not to brag or boast (yea right!), but our little Gracie made it into a national magazine with last years Halloween costume. http://www.kiwimagonline.com/2012/09/diy-halloween-costume-contest-2/ Congrats Grace AND Nora for winning second place! -John

I have set up the registration for the 2013 Snowfest Ride-In to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan. If you find any bugs, let me know! A quick note, the backcountry rides had to be suspended because of liability issues and also because some participants of the rides last year...

So I am going to be adding a single stage, stationary air compressor to service both the woodshop and "toy" shop, something along the lines of 5 HP 18 CFM @ 135 PSI. I am in the process of trying to figure out the best place to put it and am actually toying around with the idea of putting it...

My seasonal dart toss.... er, seasonal outlook is out in the forecast text section. Done under protest as usual. -John
