Knapp, I am floored your still without. Here south Ontario we had squat last year and I didnt even sit on it, but now we are covered, another 6-8 inches today. Best in a few years, see if it holds through end of March.
Unfortunateley at low speed (25mph) in twisties 30 minutes into first ride in 2 years, I crashed my awesome '17 LTX LE and been out for a while with bruised ribs, thank God for Tekvest, as I slammed the bars with my chest, no breaks, contusion on right thigh from bars is near gone and now shopping for a '23-24 leftover LE with EPS qs3r but might have to settle for qs3 or 9000RR, but love that Yamaha blue.

We just got 2" yesterday. Gives us a whopping 4" on the ground... I almost thought about taking the sled out today but decided against it. The last time I went out in low snow I pulled a stud out of the outside band and ruined a track.
We are way down in snow for the season average. We had 4" in December that thawed and now the 4" we have on the ground which we all know isn't squat. I guess If I want to ride, I should move to a good lake effect snow area or go further north, neither of which is going to happen. We had a good snow year three years ago and got real lucky that year, LaNina was supposed to give us both snowier and colder for this winter, well its been cold enough but we've been lacking in the precipitation department.
Southern Ontario keeps getting hit, we got another 3" while out riding today, and forecasting 8" to a foot before noon tomorrow.
The interactive trail guide hasn't looked this good in Southern Ontario in many years. Where you see red below it is almost all from landowner agreements that had to be resigned this year and have not been processed yet. Most of the yellow trails are due to drifting snow that has not been groomed yet, not lack of snow. Ran into two guys on the trail who had driven from Michigan for the first time.

No trailer? N WI is rideable, so the crowds in the UP should be scattering some. Go blow the cobwebs outta that thing...lolWe just got 2" yesterday. Gives us a whopping 4" on the ground...

Another hour clearing the driveways today. It just doesn't stop snowing here. I bought my first sled in 1986, and I think I can say this is the most we've ever had since then.
This is like a 70's winter.

Oh ya, nice enclosed and a truck that does't come outta the shop much either, but I have a dog thats not doing well and a Daughter that going to give birth any day, so gotta stay close to home for now. Was hoping for a good season with all the talk of LaNina and all.
