Good morning fellas!

Yup, snowed most of the day yesterday (light). Didn't accumulate to anything so let's hope today is the same. I was gonna bring the camper hunting this weekend.......guess I choose wisely. The couch or floor of the cabin sounds better than refilling propane and possible frozen lines.

There are some areas that stay open until December. each club determines when to close its area based on those factors I believe. We just started into it mid summer so I don't know all the inner happenings and reasons. The friends we go with know the backroads and class 4 roads really well and they say they still ride later into fall typically.

Ahhhh, that makes sense. Most of the trails around here are DNR run. Only ones that really get blocked are the snowmobile trails in the spring. They keep the wheelers off of most of those as they tend to cut across private land.

Good morning Cory! Now to see how much snow accumulates today. Wise choice on the camper. I keep hearing rumors of more snow coming on Sunday. I guess we'll see how good the weather guessers are.

Good morning snow white MN. At least it wasn't for nothing, sounds like a 115 year record was broke.

I wouldn't bet on it. chances are the weather will rebound and you guys will go to above normal temps for a while. I have seen where we get some big snow early in the fall and then turns crappy warm and doesn't straighten out until January. I look at these extremes like pulling on a spring, it will typically snap back to the opposite extreme and eventually settle out to more typical. But what really is typical with the weather

My guess is it will rebound as well and warm up again for a bit. Still doesn't make up for the fact that its the middle of October and I am plowing snow! Haha

Evening guys!

Well let's see what we get for snow tomorrow. Worked on the Peterbilt tonight. I got the radiator back in so the truck is drivable once again. That is nice.
