No One Excited About JD Xmas Forecast?

Thanks for the reply 440_chazz!

While I did not watch the pre-storm media hype (kinda had our own snow situation going on up here!), from some of the posts on the board and FB I got the feeling that there might be some that were disappointed in the results.

I have no problems taking my lumps when I am wrong. I don't enjoy it, but will reap what I sow. One of my biggest fears is being grouped into all the other forecasts and then being called wrong when that was not really the case. Unfortunately, I think that when it comes to the media, the powers at the top do not care as much about accuracy as they do presentation. I think shelby369 is on the right track with his thinking.

Anyway, I appreciate your input and will also appreciate any other input. I am being 100% truthful when I say I want to make sure that my forecasts are taken for what they are and not others. For better or worse!

Don't sweat it John. The TRUST in those that BELIEVE in YOU is much GREATER than those who don't. Someone was basically venting on you from all the built up hype so don't take it personally. If folks don't tone down expectations then they'll be disappointed each time it snows. As passionate as we all are for sledding we ALWAYS want the upper end of the forecasted amounts to come true so we can ride. But again, we have to stay in check to reality that it might not come to fruition. I myself am happy we have snow in December for once as Christmas in the midwest is just not the same without snow!

Again, don't sweat it.....

To me just 1 storm opportunity lots more to come, lakes frozen, swamps frozen, snow for base just have to see what happens. I'll ride again Thursday use what is here. As always ride if you have snow lots more winter ahead but don't wait if you can ride do it now.

Nothing good at all what the models are showing for next week, trend keeps getting worse and worse for pretty much everyone, still time for them to shift but a torch appears to be on the way. The worst part is the warm up couldn't wait another week after X-Mas/New Years. Oh well we have all had an awesome past two weeks that's for sure and the lakes are still pretty warm for this time of the year.

We are done for 10 days IMO. Because of weather. It's crap until Jan 5th at least.

My buddy wrecked his sled and I need two primary and secondary clutches rebuilt on a TRA 3 (2013 ski doo 600 E-tec) and QRS secondary (2013 Ski-doo 600 etec).

If you want in on that job, text me at 517-214-2605.

Its frustrating having an epic start of the year where more people can actual ride near their home towns and not have to congregate and cause high traffic in the usual snow belts. We do need a little moisture to settle this fluff snow down to make a good base for the rest of the season but rain???. We like to ride the UP when we can but we also like to support the local mom and pops when we have ridable snow. The life of a snowmobiler!
