Does it seem as the start of winter for the north woods is getting pushed further and further out?!

Thats b/c it has been. N Lower large lakes 45 yrs ago used to be froze safe early/middle Jan, the pattern now is late Jan/early Feb. It changes yr to yr but yes it has changed.

Making good ice these nights, with lows in the mid teens. I've been walking a bit farther out each day on the ice, and starting to see people walk the edges.
I was out about 20 yards today. No open spots in the middle for 4 days. With no snow cover out there, we're making ice fast. Don't need any warm ups.

Old man winter and mother nature need to stop social distancing from each other, have a few cocktails, make some bad decisions past midnight and get this party started!

It's only December 2nd, but it's the extended forecast that is disheartening. Not a chance of snow as far as you can see with temps in the 40s. That puts us into mid December at least, we will be lucky if there is snow by Christmas.

I seem to remember in La Nina years past that it took awhile for Winter to come, but when it did BLAMO it REALLY DID. ;O)

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.

The problem is not owning our own semi. Didn't get one till noon today for the load that was prepared last night. Only getting out 4 loads a day. Two neighbors with semi's are still hauling for others, and one had one blow the motor up so they are waiting on parts. Grain elevators all shut down both full weekends of deer hunting. Not having Saturday open really slows things down. The elevator is also focusing on hauling all the corn they can to the river right now; which is taking trucks away from hauling for farmers.

Now, if we owned our own semi in the farm name then I could have the reverend come on down and drive as long as it was only for our farm. Unfortunately that currently is not an option. Thank you for the offer wirev. We just can't do it right now.

Don't forget what John said in his Seasonal Forecast below for Region 1, the NW Midwest.

"Another caveat to the idea for this region is that the true colder and snowier than average conditions might not arrive until the second half of the winter.None the less, the outlook is quite promising!"

We had 18"+ on the ground on December 1st and couldn't open trails until the 15th due to the extended deer hunt. Man I hate that! Our season is too short to be delayed!!
