    Winter Storm Warning - UP

    I'm hoping that it extends south a little and hits some of northern Wisconsin. Seems like we are the unlucky land in the middle of these storms.

    Now can the Pack please beat Dallas?

    Remember that on any given Sunday in the NFL, anything can happen. The game starts with a score of 0-0. Dallas is a very good team, but the Pack has really surprised me down the stretch. The Packers will have to play a perfect game and Dallas will have to make mistakes, but anything is possible.

    Polaris Mutt Mod

    It's a work of art. Very impressive. You should be proud.

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    Looks like Southern Wisconsin finally gets their turn. I can't remember the last time you guys had decent trails for an extended period of the season. If these next few storms happen and it stays cold, could be good for a while.

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    I have a guy in MW that handled a beaver problem on our lake Tim. He didn't charge anything. Just wanted the fur or meat and written permission from me to enter my land and set traps. I guess it was a legal precaution. Text me if you want his number.

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    Sorry to hear of your loss Paul. Condolences to you and your wife. Garage looking great except at this time of year, that snowmobile should be out on the trail instead of in there.

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    About 6" of snow on ground in Presque Isle this morning. Went into town and saw that PI/Winchester SnoBunnies had the groomer out and were rolling the trails. It's a start but saw trail after it was rolled and looked pretty lame. A friend of mine took his sled out last night for a quick run down...

    One of your memorable moments

    Early 2000's. Guys trip up to cabin in Presque Isle. 4 or 5 of us left early am. Snowing hard all day. Wound up in the Bond Falls area for a late lunch. Can't remember the name of the bar/restaurant. My buddies then wanted to hit the Lac Vieux Desert casino as long as we were close. Left there...

    All day snow in Presque Isle yesterday resulted in about 4" of light fluffy stuff. My daughter called last night and said Bessemer got about 6" and she saw riders out ditch banging in Bessemer and Wakefield.

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    Great info from all of you on this thread but sure makes me miss Johns daily forecasts and accumulation amounts. Didn't realize how much interest I had in them and depended on him during snowmobile season until he was gone.

    Am I seeing this correctly and Chicago is looking at 12-14"? Trying to plan return trip from Northwoods and I am not a fan of driving in heavy snow anymore. Riding in it is a different story.

    I have the weather channel app on my phone and that is where the 10" came from yesterday morning. I checked it later in the day and it was down to 3.5" Checking it now, shows no snow but about an inch of rain. Looking at Indy's last post, maybe it is moving north where it belongs.

    The good is that we are making ice in northern Wisconsin. After last weeks warm up, everything is frozen again including swamp areas that trails cross in Presque Isle and Manitowish Waters. Lake ice looks to be safe for people as several were out on my lake the last few days. Next ten days shows...

    Packers and Bears on Sunday!

    The Packers looked great last night. The defense came to play and maybe saved Joe Barrys job....for now. Other than the one blown punt/fumble and a few cheesy penalties, they pretty much played perfect football. Love looked pretty well seasoned for his short time as the starter and the offensive...

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    Arrived in Presque Isle yesterday at 2 PM to 46 degree temps. Trail 6 that runs along County W had open water in the swampy areas. My lake was open at the shore. It's like March mud season here. I had hope for a ride this trip, but that ride is going to be in my truck. Looked in my cabin...

    I see 2-5" predicted for Presque Isle tonight. I'm trying to be positive and keep the faith. A couple of minor storm accumulations and then maybe a lake effect dumping and we could be riding by New Years Eve.

    When You Were Fifteen...

    If I remember correctly, there was a golf course in Glenview or Morton Grove, Golf Road/Harms Road area that allowed snowmobiles on the property, legally. We would ride there on the bike/horse trails from the Niles area of Howard and Caldwell by Tam O Shanter golf course. That was a pretty long...

    When You Were Fifteen...

    I was 15 in 1979. That winter the Chicago area got hit with a lot of snow. Schools were closed for days because streets were impassable, and busses could not move. Jumped on the snowmobile everyday, (74 Yamaha GP something or other) and rode from backyard to side streets to the bike trail where...
