looks like there is already someone fall in Northern VT expecting another 3 to 5 inches tonight in NEK. What do you guy think this means for the season. Hoping we don't get all the snow now and none when the trails open :fluffy: :fluffy:

we have almost and inch here in morgan and its snowing hard!!!!! I cant wait!!!!

Scaring me a bit, since this is how last year started out. And we all know what happened.

Does anyone remeber what the first snowfall was last year. If I can remeber right it was around thanksgiving

Been snowing all day here in IP, but not sticking to the ground much. No, no, and no it is not going to be another year like last year! :banghead: I am just going to expect alot of snow and that's that. :div20:

I can second that, another year like last year would suck big time

Its kinda early for myself I have a shit load of trail work to do and the weather is not co-operating

Up hear in Holland, MT John its snowing like a bastard and sticking... The power came back on at 3:30 last night

Last year it was October 24, 2005 We had the huge snow storm, tress were down everywhere and no power for 8 days. Hunting was very tough.

Remember look at the catapiller middle band. The larger it is the worst winter we will have?????

Remember the bigger the squirrels tail, the more snow were gonna get.....

Remeber Clusters of pine cones in the tops trees, brings us the winteries.......

We have tons of trailwork to get down and a bridge to replace behind Harwood Union so I am hoping for warm and dry temperatures during november.

Come December I am hoping it gets cold and stays below freezing so that all the waterbars and wet spots freeze up. Then if we get a big dump during the 2nd week of December I will be smiling.

I hope you're right...time will tell. But can anything be worse than last winter? It can only be better.

Isn't that true considering that I put on zero VT miles last season. I didn't bother purchasing a TMA
All we can do is hope and pray to the snowgods :fluffy:

Speaking of which,deer season start there yet?

2 more weeks....

Yup, 11/15 rifle season for what 2 weeks, then 2 weeks of black powder?

Its been moose season now. Ive seen a few cows in the back of trucks.

i remember bein in spanish class in late october and it snowing really hard but not sticking cause the ground was too warm..

Hate to bust your Bubble, BUT,.......

"They believe that if a wooly bear caterpillar's brown stripe is thick, the winter weather will be mild and if the brown stripes are narrow, the winter will be severe"

But my Educated guess is a normall or slightly snowier winter than normall.

Oh man....Now I have to go through the trash and dig that sucker out and really look at him. If I remember he was mostly brown.....freaken caterpillar's

dgree,

If you plan on hunting, better check the regulations book. Rifle season is from 11/11 to 11/26. Then there's a one week lag before the muzzleloader season (and second bow season) which goes from 12/2 to 12/10. Good luck to all the VT hunters out there!

Thanks hilltopper, I haven't got this years regulation book or my hunting license yet.

i love hunting season because i know right after rifle and muzzle loader season, the trails open very soon! plus i just love hunting in general. :beerchug:

We need this snow now not back then

So have the catapillers been big brown or not?

I don't know much about catepillars, but it looks like the middle of next week there is an outside chance at something.

BIG BROWN STRIPE on all the wooly bears I;ve seen...But I pray every day.
