What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?
- Thread starter snoden
- Start date
Missed out on two/three trips so far and not looking good for Mercer 2nd week of January. Guess I’ll just chase it when we get it wherever it comes down at.
Usually head up to my cabin in Hayward right after Christmas and at least do some ice fishing and running the four wheelers on the lake if snow is low but even canceled that….guess I’ll start that master bathroom remodel.

The timing is interesting since the last El Niño of this magnitude was in 97.

Fremont County Idaho (Island Park area) has yet to start grooming, not enough snow. Can't believe people are riding, friend of a friend is out in West Yellowstone right now and I saw a picture, they were in snowmobile gear and most of the ground in the background was bare. Ugh.

My neighbor made a point of water skiing on Xmas day here in Traverse City. Waving as he went by our house in 58 degree weather.

Family went to Eagle River yesterday and waitress said her brother or friend don’t remember which was waterskiing on Christmas also.
Here is the latest U.S. model out through Jan 13th, but that model will change again in 6 hours lol.

Exactly, the model runs for both the GFS & European do show the possiiblity of snow. But, as John would say, that is too far out to have any faith in. And like you said skylar, wait 6 hours & it will change. I don't know that the snowfall models are able adjust or be adjusted for the current El Nino affect. Again, it's a wait & see, this one is a true anomoly.

A week ago I felt we had a glimmer of hope as temps looked to drop to seasonal levels after the New year. That was also in the 10-15 day outlook, well as John would say in LaLa land take it with a grain of salt. He was always right, now it's not looking like seasonal temperatures more of the same just not as warm as currently.
that would certainly help a lot of people, most weather outlets have been whispering of a change in weather pattern potential coming and watching it closely, as much as I want it so I can ride I am hoping something changes soon, there are a lot of businesses in the north woods who really need it and soon, my hopes and thoughts are with them first.
I'm usually unable to take trips in December due to family obligations. My first trip is always the AWSC Winter meeting the first weekend of January. I had a couple friends cancel their rooms. Wife, son, and myself are still going. My 4 year old was super excited about the pool and railroad museum(Spooner), so I didn't want to let him down!
My next 2 trips are on hold.
Hopefully the snow is spread out whenever it gets here. Otherwise it's going to be chaotic...
Good to see there is some potential hope in the weather pattern is flipping.
