Is it just me or does it seem as the start of winter (although I know not officially winter yet) even for the north woods getting pushed further and further out? even on Johns extended forecast only potential for LES. Things can change quickly and it is early yet but usually see some promise by now. After this crazy year I'm sure there are lots of us who need some escape and some throttle time. Fingers crossed for many that he wields his ugly face and soon!!

There is a trough over the west that is causing this boring weather. One hand I feel its good to stay dry so that mud holes freeze up and crops get out, but I am getting antsy and its only day 1. 13 deg this morning so thats a good start!

I can't agree more, looking to go Dec 17th for a shake down. I'm getting tired of garage carving. lol Although it can change in a blink of an eye in Toivola!

It's just weather. Last year on this date I was riding in snow over my knees.

I’m good with below freezing temps up north at night setting swamps and lakes up. Snow will come always does especially in the UP. Good Sleddin usually Xmas and after New year. A little slow now but no big deal yet.

I'm with ya, Pete. Trails are setting up real nice this year. Besides, we can't run in Wisconsin until after Muzzleloader season which ends this year, I think, about Dec 12th. Hope the snow starts piling up starting next week. Clubs are allowed to pan and groom B4 season starts.

Well said Mezz, Brian I’m doing my best to have winter show up early because I still have a couple weeks worth of things that need to be done before it shows up.

Yep, last year on this date I was clearing 24" of snow out of my driveway. But usually we aren't riding trails til xmas, forest roads we can start sooner so I'm OK still. I did have 1 degree driving in today so thats good, we need the cold.

We need 5 more solid days of nice clear weather to finish getting off the corn. Then it can start dumping. Our corn was out in the fields till April last year. Not something I want to see again.

Need help? I can run a combine or drive a semi----prob not legal for me to do it in WI. When I was in ND, on a regular license you could drive a tractor/trailer for farm biz up to 150 miles from point of origin.

I was going to start a thread about the season being "officially" open...but it would be a bastage keeping them cool, what with the bare dirt and all...at least here in the central U.P.

We've been here since the early 2000's and I remember at least 1 other year when we didn't really have rideable snow until after Jan 1st...thankfully I only remember 1...
