Darn it! Another 15-18" forecasted for the I-35 corridor!!!! That's too bad

Same here in Prior Lake 15-18" forecasted.
Hope I can make it 5 miles to the free Slednecks demo at Canterbury Saturday–If I'm snowed in I might just have to ride the sleds down there.

Darn my 800 o is in the shop, I'm going to have to ride the 440 this weekend again.... can't wait for the day when my second sled is as fun to ride as my main sled, time for an IQ racer!

jdesign
I will never buy/ride a rev.
My supporting brackets that hold my trailing arm bolts (by the gas tank) blew out. I had a trailing arm dragging on the ground when I notice it. Thanks for insurance and chad at diggers- hopefully I'll have it back by Sat. snowfall.gif

...WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO 8 INCHES...AND POSSIBLY MORE...IS
POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHEAST MINNESOTA AND
NORTHWEST WISCONSIN. IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW THREAT...WILL BE STRONG
EASTERLY WINDS THAT WILL CAUSE CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.
THERE ARE STILL QUESTIONS ON WHICH AREAS WILL SEE THE HEAVY
SNOW...SO STAY TUNED TO LATER FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS FOR MORE
INFORMATION AND POSSIBLE CHANGES TO EXPECTED SNOW TOTALS.

SNOW...POSSIBLY HEAVY...WILL START TONIGHT AND PERSIST ON AND OFF
THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SNOW COVERAGE AND INTENSITY SHOULD
DECREASE FOR A TIME SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THEN INCREASE
AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. TRAVEL MAY BECOME VERY
DIFFICULT ACROSS THE REGION THIS WEEKEND...PLEASE PLAN
ACCORDINGLY.

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS THAT MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT TRAVEL. CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS.

your not gonna waste time watching stupid stunts if we get 15"s are you? i was gonna race there, but not if we get good snow
jdesign
I'm going to take the wife and kid if the roads are safe enough to drive, otherwise it sounds like a good destination to ride sleds to and check it out.
Yep, I'm going to kick it with Chris Brandt - were tight like that.
Kinda hard to believe that this guys going to be jumping 300ft when its dumping on us - no way!

jdesign

He said he would still go for it in the snow, but not if it's real windy like they are calling for. 300 ft and wind could really send one off course!!! Better him than me.

www.nws.noaa.gov ---- This is the site you should look at for accurate forecast. Friday night 2-4", Saturday a new 3-7", Saturday night another new 7-11". Sunday a 90% chance of snow. Gumper800 is negative and thinks it is more important to hold hands this weekend then come out and ride. HAHAHA. The forecast is for southern minnesota, prior lake will be the same i'm sure.

WEll everyone called for just snow, I just let my dogs out at 9:30 here in Big lake and its raining. Not heavy rain but its rain. Will be bad if does not switch over soon with all of the puddles/lakes of melt on ground already.

Damn NWS for cursing us with snow warning.
