Holy ballsackers, I can hardly see 50ft out the office window!!! LET IT FRICKIN SNOW!!!

and now it stopped!!!!!!!!

You may already know this but this is where I find out where it comming down around town ......./www.dot.state.mn.us/tmc/trafficinfo.....and click on traveler ........and the camera's . Company said we can cut out earler ..... time for a beer....

I'll be heading outta here before noon for sure.

Sounds like it is supposed to be on & off this morning and then the heavy stuff is supposed to kick in this afternoon with wind...

WIND....
The drift machine WOOHOO!!!!

Rode the sled in this morning from Lakeville to Chaska....rained like a SOB! Every trail I rode was chit! Don't any of these area clubs use their freaking groomers when we have a foot of snow on the ground? I thought chit would be smoothed out for the new snow??????? Goggles kept icing up, but it was better than getting stingers in the eyes when I would take them off.....I'm looking forward to riding past all the traffic jams on my way home tonight! Hopefully riding in the blizzard will be better than driving!

Bummer that its raining outside the metro.
I'm just North of Brainerd, 7 miles, near Merrifield. We had maybe 1 or 2 inches over last night. Its foggy right now, and light flurries, no wind as yet. Barometer is really low, 29.5 (dunno how accurate , but it seldom goes that low on my cheapie baro.) Temp 31 F.
Groomers were out earlier this week, trails are open, excellent in woods and shaded areas, some minor bare spots in open full sun areas. Lake riding is good with several inches of powder, but if we get strong winds,it will get bumpy. Better riding close to shore line.

I rode about 80 miles Tuesday up to Emily, then south to the Bridge Tavern N. of Crosby, and back. Not bad for MN lately. I hope we get the dumping the WX is hypeing, otherwise the trails will be travel worn by Sunday. As long as there is rideable snow, I'm sure the groomers will be out.

PM me w/ questions if anyone needs more info. I am an officer in the (all volunteer) Crow Wing County Snowmobile Trail Association.
Think MORE snow.

We plan on riding SE Minn on Saturday (Racine, Stewartville, around Rochester, Elgin, ect...) Anyone else riding that area?

we plan on heading that way depending on the snow/rain today

pussy

Heading outta work that is... so I can get on my sled!!!
it's about 12:00 here in Prior, Probably coming down an 1" or more per hour.
Should be pretty good riding later on today. See ya.

office is closing at 1. Where are you going to ride JD? I live in Shakopee

Going to ride to Captain Jacks right now with the wife. Later on bout 4-5ish going to go out with 4-5 other guys to Horse and Hunt club & St. Patricks. If you guys wanna go let me know. Nothing to hardcord tonight, have some guys going that have'nt sled'n in a while.

I'm in Ely and we're getting screwed again. Not one flake all day. I've been watching the radar all day and it comes toward us and then splits and goes North and South. Just like all this year, and just like all last year. I think I'm cursed.

Really coming down hard now in Minneapolis: Pics taken about 5 minutes ago!

were getting the shaft on all the winter storms this year up in ely! it pisses me off royaly!

I'm guessing your gonna see some snow, if your watching the midwest radar there is a very heavy patch in WI heading NW. but I would reccommend heading about 15 mi north of cloquet; after this storm your gonna find about 3-4' there

Quick update we have about 8" since this morning in Minnetonka

Snowing REALLY hard again!!!

Snowing like it is supposed to here in Carver. Dave Dahl said that 16 inches is not out of the question for the east side of Minnesota.

Lakeville trails and ditches are great...

Its snowing like hell here in two harbors. complete blizzard and white out. its hard to tell how much snow so far but the drifts are getting big! up behind two harbors is going to be insane riding by sat. morning thats when were going. it will prob. be the best riding ive seen in the last 10 yrs. on sat. my group will be staying off the trails and out in the woods working all the powerlines and gas lines. i will put the summit to the test on sat.

The sky is falling

We have 10" in Buffalo so far, expecting another 6" to 9" tonight. I'm guessing your drifts along Hwy 55 will be pretty awesome again.

it's snowin like mad now!!! WOHOO be carvin the drifts up in the mornin :P

Two Harbors - Heavy snowfall, 50 mph winds, 50 feet visibilty. Goin out tomorrow for a while and out on Sat with a small group. firered I'd like to hook up groups but my little 500 fan 121 just barely had enough at WOT to keep moving forward in the drifts today. I am going to look into transplanting what parts I can into the 700 in the morning.

Here's a video I shot earlier. Video Link Two Harbors

here in Brainerd we already got a few inches today and tonight we are talking blizzard all the schools are closed tomorrow,I got the day off,,groomers have been out all day today!!! I guess the snow dance is really working!!!

Life is good

Glad I moved the fuck out of there!! HAHA

We have probably 10 inches so far in Alborn, and crazy winds. ZERO visibility. Took the Bearcat 340 out today, topped out at 30 in this deep stuff. LOL I'd say we have close to 3 feet on the ground in most spots, and many 6 foot drifts. Trails are immaculate!

we probably have 2' on the ground.. with 3-6' drifts all over the place

MX86...

Are the trails looking good for this weekend?

i was out today.. corners are a little icy, swamps are blown over... and are kinda bare, but it should be pretty good. groomers are going out tomorrow night

my dad and I are heading out in the morning i'll try to post some pics

shane, people are meeting at my house at 9:30am. im taking my daughter to my moms house at 900 and then back to the house. i have to tighten my track up alittle and im ready to go. we are planning to meet up at the state trail parking lot on hwy 2 at 1100am to meet up with kyle beardlsey,todd johnson,and mike brant, alos we will have lorne,jeff,jason,ryan bergerson,myself, and you are more than welcome to join. the more the less i have to work when i get the summit stuck! lol. we plan to run the state trail to the lane road, up the rosinni,to the powerlines than go out into the deep stuff from there! its going to be insane.you know how much the rosinni area gets all the time. prob. at least 12" more than we got here. and the drifts should be almost inpassable if we try to go up the power line. we might have to break the trail from the top down this time. the first hill on the power line is usually the worst!. late lunch at the lake. is verone working today. if so we'll see here there. let me know whats up..

no, she'll be working at TH Ford today. Me and Travis Mettner will either meet you at the state trail parking lot or at the Pequayewan. His F5 has a high idle and a dim temp light on issue were gonna check out this morning. So if I dont see you at the State Trail Lot, We'll meet up at the Lake for lunch & beers.
