I'm sick of almost every non-snowmobiler saying, "Oh my goodness you're a snowmobiler? Wow, it's been a great winter for that! We've had so much snow!" I say, "Blah, blah blah." We've had one or maybe two weeks of good snow, the rest has been mediocre at best. The last two snow storms have been forecasted for 6-8 inches, and what do we get? Let's see, two storms ago we got like three inches and the most recent we got some sleet and about an inch of accumulation. What a joke! Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that there is some snow on the ground here in Midwestern Wisconsin, but I can travel in any direction north, south, or east and find much more snow.
This past week or so I was able to get some riding in with Danny. We went on a quick ditchbang and were able to find a few good drifts at his Grandpa's farm. (Picture below is of Whitey quite stuck. I got on top of the biggest drift and decided to stop) I'm excited for my trip to the U.P. this coming Thursday. Conditions up there look great. 30 inches of standing snow! I'm all settled in back in Menomonie, and will be working on the sled a bit and getting everything primped for the trip.
20% chance of snow Tuesday... we'll see how that pans out! Until next time...
