I've given up on all seasonal predictions. As John always says, these are impossible to predict with any accuracy. Last year I was so pumped up to ride, and the damn season never opened here. I got out 3 times and a total of about 400 miles. By far the worst season for snowmobiling I've ever had. I'm so sick of getting my hopes up and then getting them quashed by weathermen who can't predict when the sun is going to come up. No offense to JD, as I've used him about a thousand times in the last few years. Cannot stand the local guys/gals and therefore, I'm giving up on hoping for any snow. That way if it doesn't come, I won't be so damn angry and insolent. If it does come, I will ride!
