    Cold-Rodders

    Wow! That brings back memories! I was 11 years old in 1970. Dad had a Johnson Skee-Horse with a sled. Our whole family (parents and four kids) would ride on the snowmobile and sled. Also good memories of the snow we had in this part of the state (Green Bay) in the 1970s. The mini Ice Age!

    Snowmobile Jackets

    "That's 'cause you got leaf springs and boogie wheels". I could use a sled with those features now in this part of the state! Not enough snow for the new ones.:cry::cry:

    Brown County, WI (Green Bay Area)

    We were off to a good early start for this area with the snow before Christmas. Official depth on 12/26 was 5" on the ground. Most is gone at this writing (6:45 pm on 12/29/22). The high temp on my weather station today was 47 degrees. The only snow left tomorrow morning after a low temp of 42...

    So very true. But on the bright side, think how much we all learned fixing those old sleds....

    My prediction of the slush turning to concrete by Monday was correct but it already happened today. It was 27 degrees this morning and dropped during the day. I made a sharp right turn today and I thought I tore the running board off of my pickup from the stuff that was slush yesterday IS...

    2" of heavy, wet snow with slush on the bottom in northeast Green Bay. The east wind off of Lake Michigan kept us on the warm side too long. By Monday, this stuff will be like concrete.

    Anybody gearing up for the opener?

    Great stories for the season opener. It was a little different when I started riding in the late '60s. Back then, even in Green Bay, we were well immersed in the mini-ice age (we didn't use the term 'Climate Change' then because the climate always changed) and the opener came when we had snow...

    Black Friday Aerial View

    What does that say about me when I remember both Cabbage Patch Dolls and KMart?!? I am getting old. At the KMart here in Green Bay, it was always a Blue Light Special but maybe your wife's store burned out their blue bulb! Hope your wife didn't get injured grabbing that doll.

    Black Friday Aerial View

    I tried Black Friday shopping once about 15 years ago. I was in Walmart East in Green Bay and I was having a hard time just getting out of the store because of the crowds. That was the last time I went shopping on Black Friday!

    Flurries to light snow on and off here in northeast Green Bay. Roads are only wet but a little stuck on the grass and phragmites but that's it as of 5pm. The local news crews are all out on the roads doing 'storm' reports all day long. :eek::ROFLMAO: They even commented on how the snow clings...

    Your description of the speed of the Skee-Horse brings back some memories. My dad bought a wooden sled with wooden water skis to pull behind the 1967 Skee-Horse. My dad and one of my brothers would be on the Skee-Horse, my mom. sister and other brother would be in the sled and I, being the...

    My First Snowmobile was a .....

    1971 Ski-Doo Nordic 399. Tough sled and the ride was also tough and rough with only about 2" of travel. Next I bough a 1973 Artic Cat Panther 340 with the Kawasaki engine. The Cat was a huge upgrade over the Nordic. What I really grew up on were my dad's sleds; 1967 Johnson Skee Horse with a...

    October 17, 2022.

    There were photos posted from all over northeast Wisco showing a trace to 2" this morning. Areas near the Bay and Lake Michigan only got rain. In December, it will probably be 60 degrees!
