Forecasting LOTS of Snow!....

man do I want it to snow heavy for selfish reasons. I wanna ride in it, haven't rise that much this season. Last sat I was driving down the trail and a group of 6 ahead of me I was approaching. It was sugary out there and they were sliding around going about 35. The last 2 guys were playing around switching lanes and such, no big deal the trail was wide and straight, not a problem. The first guy had mirrors but just didn't use them so I had to get right on his butt and brap it and then he was startled. It was a real hassle to get around these guys and I'm not gonna ride 10 miles at 35 when my sled handles just fine. They were doing nothing wrong and riding just having a good time but they need to keep in mind that the principle of driving a sled is much like a car, keeping in mind traffic behind you.

Just ruined my night with this latest news.
I was a bit worried about the temps with this event - AND for instance the storm in southern WI tomorrow.
How can we get 4 -6, maybe 8, with temps in low to mid 40's? Same principle. I'm not getting excited about the storm down here.
And I supposed I shouldn't be getting all excited about the storm up there for Sunday.
But John did say 60 - 70%. Of course that means, 30 -40% that it will be a buster.

They said on the noon news on Wednesday that a big majority of what southern WI gets will depend on the temps as they weren't sure where they would be, so they were just trying to prepare everyone for the potential of 6+ inches of snow. But as it has been tradition, it'll snow a lot, and then melt away 2 days later.

I hardly look at the weather forecast because it will change 10 times between now and when the weather is forecasted to happen. Over the years I've seen plenty of "big storms" in all seasons never happen, I've also seen days that had little/no chance of a storm and bam we get 12" of snow or 3" of rain. So I just look out the window and see whats happening out there.

Haha nice.

Ill be sporting mine as well. Mine actually serves a purpose for me though. I carry extra oil/belt etc.. because I ride a .....wait for it......wait for it..........trail converted sno cross sled! Bwahahahaha. I must be a wannabe! Oh wait, I actually did use to race sno cross. does that mean I get a free pass for my preference of sleds to ride? or am I just another ricky racer wannabe? Before you answer you should know that I do not have any monster stickers/gear nor do I have race numbers on my sled. I also have klim gear head to toe and like to ride off trail when I can. Oh man I just realized I might be a johnny snocross bobby boondockin ricky racin' wannabe! I have an identity crisis I guess?

We have trail converted sleds in our family too and yes one rides with a backpack with emergency parts. They are far from what most people would stereotype them as.
