That's where "this past weekend" part of my post comes into play. Today =/= this past friday and saturday. I am well aware of the current melting.
So much for riding Dec 18 to 23rd in the UP!

if mother nature doesn't hurry up, the price of sleds will go down and i will be forced to buy a new one.

This December looks really bad... As a weather enthusiest and snowmobile rider I have some skills looking at weather models.
Theres a storm hinting at 192 hours from right now that could bring a healthy 8-12 inches. Keep in mind its 192 hours out and could change. This is for the UP.

Theres just nothing stopping the constant flow of pacific air that keeps bringing in these warmups. Instead of pacific storms crashing into the NW of the united states I see them crashing into northern BC and dragging warm air with them
No this isnt global warming either... its just the lack of the right dynamics.

Heck, I remember playing out in the snow on Thanksgiving! Get up, watch parades on TV, go out and play in the snow while chow was cooking, come in cold and wet and smell the bird in the oven, have a beer.....well, maybe all but the last one.

Very disappointing here in N.Lower as well....I've got a 500/720 that I'm itching to pull the trigger on and a Jag 340 for my daughter.
Just one of those things.

I just got back from Houghton Made Me and buds sick Left 12-11 got to Super 8 seen the snow went yuck .. both buds tryed the trails ohhh man what a mistake 42 miles on pure snirt !! what i got out of the whole experiance ! Ok got to drive 4 hrs seen all kinds of melting snow -- dirt- leavless trees -- also enjoyed a meal at applebee's Steak-N- Shrimp NICE waitress Blond -- Also enjoyed The pool-Sauna-Hottub -- Watched a couple of good flicks on T.V. Got a great Weather report L.O.L. Listened To 2 Polar bears Sleeping All night -- Priceless All for under 150 Bucks.. Unfortunatly WE were suppose to stay for the week !we bolted back to wausau wi. mon morning seen snow storm opted to turn back decided to continue to go home ! one bud opted to fly to florida me and other are sticking it out .. I feel bad for local buisnesses that depend on snowmobilers and ski'ers ect !!

We all remember things being bigger and better in the past. In all honesty it isnt true though. We have detailed accumulations and temps going back to the mid 1800s and the winters have actually gotten snowier over the last 30 years in many/most spots in the continental united states. The 1910's were some of the worst winters for snow... followed close by the dreaded 1950s.

It might not have happened EVERY Thanksgiving (never said it did), but it IS true. I'm not old enough to have completely lost my mind.
Maybe it's gotten snowier in other spots of the continental U.S., but certainly not here in the Detroit area. I couldn't tell you the last time we had snow on Thanksgiving. Heck, we don't even get flurries in October anymore.
