I keep hearing bad things from all the farmers and people who don't sled that there is going to be a deffinite lack of snow this year. I can almost see it, after the amount of rain we had this spring, summer, and fall now there isn't any precipitation left for winter. Almanac says mild with not much snow........PLEASE SAY IT AIN'T SO!!

This topic is so depressing I don't even want to comment on it.

4mula you are pathetic. Why would you listen to someone that is negative to begin with. These people are called dream stealers. Keep a positive attitude and just wait. Have faith that God will deliver us the snow we want. If by chance we dont get any throw your sled on a traler and find some!

We ALWAYS get snow.

If it stays mild like this we have to get some snow eventually...the moisture can't evade us for too long!

Here is a paraphrased version of the Almanac for the Prairies...doesn't look that bad, does it?

"December 2004
1st-3rd. For the western slopes of the Rockies and all points east, stormy conditions prevail: rain, snow, then clear, cold. 4th-7th. Another storm from British Columbia moves into Rockies by the 7th. 8th-11th. Storm from the Rockies brings snow to Prairies. 12th-15th. Pacific storm brings widespread rain, snow to Rockies. 16th-19th. Considerable cloudiness, a snow flurry. 20th-23rd. Waves of storminess produce periods of heavy rain, snow. Bitterly cold temperatures follow. 24th-27th. Generally fair, dry, very cold for Christmas, Boxing Day. 28th-31st. Snow. "

snowing here in Thompson like crazy haven't seen snow like this for years :banana: :beerchug:

Lucky bassterd!!

It is finally snowing here now too!!! Some big ass flakes unfortunately I dont think it is supposed to amount to much!

I agree .... I have never in my life seen a winter without snow ..... we need to stop over analizing the weather, and just have patience.

They are saying this year could be a mild el nino winter, which means warmer weather than usual, but I doubt that affects Manitoba much, especially further north. Its finally here I think, no above freezing temps in the forecast, and more snow on the way. :banana:

Snow here in the Duck mountains now,,, we might be sleddding this weekend up there.

how much snow you guys got up there.... thinking of heading out this weekend if you guys have enough

Dave...my Dad says 6-8" and as of last thur-Fri there was open Water on Wellman and Glad Lake, we are planning on going up Dec 4th-7th...

Rotaz phone me later in the week and update me on conditions!

track

I will know more tomorrow, going down to - 21 tonight,, they are driving quads around the lake, but I don't think anyone crossed yet.

in 2 weeks we will have to have the big showdown

All our lakes are frozen up here and we got some decent snow and were suppost to get more snow soon so I guess the Almanic is wrong.

It's snowing a little more right now in winnipeg.

I pick November 3rd.

This topic is 3 and a half years old.

ok....now this is just lame starting this early....maybe in september

with the weather the way its being this year, it could snow next week

Well you started it.......Just 3+ years ago. Thought I would get er going again!!

LOL...holy crap...didn't even see that when I posted....well at least I started it at the right time! I haven't gotten word yet on next year's sled...so I could care less right now!

it was pretty cool at work today. a little colder and the rain wouldve changed to snow
