Last year we had enough snow in South Bend, Indiana to ride on Thanksgiving day. Will we be so lucky this year?

We could see a flake or two sometime this week. My bet is that we get at least 4" on November 21st.

What's your guess? (if you can't tell, we need something to talk about in Indiana)

If we get snow then, it looks like outlaw riding

If we have 4" by christmas, we will be doing good. My 03 rev is ready still need to get the formula III ready, so it can't snow just yet

This was my turkey day picture from last year . accuweather 15 day don't look promising.

Hey guys good to see other people from Indiana, I cant wait for snow myself. Budman where do you live in Porter county, I moved from Valpo to Crown Point about five years ago but I still ride out by 49 and out towards westville/LaPorte areas.

Welcome Flight I live 3.5 mile east of 49 just north of Rt6 just past Jackson Elementary Where that beautiful pink color is on my map. I ride my house to Laporte quite often. Once in a great while I have a good buddy in Cedar Lake and we ride from his house to Kankakee River. Snow permitting.hope to see you out here, not to cats around here all rev doo's .and funny thing is there is a Arctic Cat dealer in town.

I heard that.

BudMan.... I live west of 49. there is not too much riding this way because of all the FIPS moving out here and buying up all the open land. my buddies and i have made it to 49 just north of kouts, but we never made it too far east because we didn't know the area too well. if we get snow like we did in 2000-2001 winter, we'll definately try again for east of 49. don't worry we all run cats too.

it would be nice to know a good path to run out that way

When we get the snow...you guys make it over to westville and i'll bring you through laporte's unmarked trail system...can even hook up to Buffalo run. :fluffy:

Looks like I might be off by just one day! Forcast is for 4-8 on the 22nd. *fingers crossed*

I will predict by Friday afternoon 11-25 there will be enough.

As long as the grass is covered... :div20:

Anyone get any of the Lake Effect 12" that they predicted. I am LaPorte and its 7:30 am and it just started snowing. It doesn't look like we will be riding on Thanksgiving this year.

Looks like our weather predictors are doing as good a job as last year! 3-5 last night?!? Where?!?!?

I was planning on using my sled to put of trail signs tomorrow. Guess not.

all of this snow has just been a tease. and i am not ready to get any rideable snow just yet. still have some work to do the sled and my truck. :wut60: but i love seeing it snow. :fluffy: :fluffy: :fluffy:

Looks like they have botched 2 forecasts in a row...what is the winter storm warning for, wind?

Hey guys in the Indiana snow belt, keep us posted. Any of that lake effect yet? How about SW Michigan, did they get any? I'm ready to ride this weekend.

Yes please let us know what it is looking like out there. I would love to put a few miles on thiw weekend.

Trails don't open until Dec. 1st. Please don't ride until then. Like I said, the only reason I may get my sled out, is to put up trail signs. I was planning on tying the signs in bundles and strapping them to my foot boards.(I guess I need to get an ATV!)

In regard to snow amounts, not even an inch here on the trail. I went to Wayland, Michigan today for turkey, they had near blizzard conditions, but only about 3-4 inches of snow. The wind was very bad and at many times I couldn't see the road in front of my jeep. Not much snow in SW mich. The weather man is on crack again....

A real dud in South Bend, Mishawaka!

I checked out Edwardsburg, Mi. about 2 inches. and a big goose egg here in Indiana!

TV channells get a "oops" on forcasting from me!

:doh:

Thanks for the updates. :div20:
