I just checked the long range models and it looks terrible as far as I can see. Everything through Jan 15th is toast.

Basically we are looking at a pattern thats giving the upper peninsula weather that should be more common to central Ohio.

Stop whinning and get a group together and drive to Wawa or White River and get those sleds on the ground. Don't waste a good vacation because you can't drive more than 8 miles from home.

Just do it.......

And then come back home, fix all those sleds that got broken up there and wait for snow to come to Michigan Minnie and Wisconsin....it will come....this has happened before...the sun will come up tomorrow and all will be right with the world.

Now find the snow and ride....what's a few extra hours when you have waited all summer long for this to happen? Get on it or stay home and wash your hair.

Personally, I don't trailer anywhere to ride. That's why I bought a place outside the snowmobile capital of the world. I hate pulling sleds in a trailer.
Be patient - snow will come! Last five yrs, this is the way it's been.

I agree not real bad, not real good. The way I read it is Slightly (Light green) above chance for more than normal precip AND Equal chance for normal temps.

I'd love to see Dark Blue for temps and Dark Green for precip.

I also keep in the back of my mind that back in October NOAA said it would be below average on temp & more than normal precip,,,,, my guess is they will revise the Jan, Feb & March outlook on about March 25th!

Seems silly to sit around and wait when you can go and ACTUALLY ride somewhere. It's not like there is great riding a few days away. We are not looking at much for the next couple weeks....at least! Why let the time just pass you by? Load 'em up! If things don't turn around by mid Jan I am heading to the Snowies for my trip. Yes we live in the "snowmobile capital of the world." But there is also a reason I got a nice trailer and truck to pull it. Towing is a non-event for me.

Also I don't think the last 5 years have been this way. This is as bad as I can remember since I got back into sledding. The last 5 years I was riding around Madison in Dec.

I was at the cabin in Wetmore and did some fishing on my snowmobile trip this week. We finally trailered to twin lakes. We rode the bill Nichols trail to south range then south to mass city. That is the only trail I'd recommend riding. The others were the worst trails that I've ever rode on in my life.

10-4. I can't get out until mid-February this year, but if the only snow is in Canada, that's where I'll be!

I love to snowmobile, its by far my favorite sport, but this weather is exactly why I sold my sleds a few years ago. Being from Ohio, and not being able to travel on a whim I got very frustrated dropping 10G's on a sled only to plan a trip North and get rained on. And by "North" I mean to Munising, Paradise, etc. I was always willing to take my chances on the weather. I know you get some good some bad, but I seemed to get a whole lot bad similar to what we are experiencing now. If you live in Michigan, don't sweat it, it will snow eventually, I just got tired of the crapshoot of hoping it would for my trip. Even with that negativity, I miss snowmobiling a lot, and when I retire in 120 years and have the ability to go when it snows i will be back in it.

Rest assured folks, there is 250" up there just waiting to fall & it will fall. When? Can't say, but it will & hopefully in incrementally large doses.-Mezz
