Will Snow Help?
 

Ok, it's -30 and snowy, my ONLY escape is the upcoming Toronto boat show, where I will "enjoy?" 8 billion sq ft of 18 ft bow riders and deck boats, with a handful of 50
Ft yachts and maybe a couple of Performance boats.....maybe.

So, .....with the abnormal amount of snow we have been getting around the Northern Great Lakes, what do you think the water levels will be like in the Spring? Does anyone think this so called "plan 2014" will be good or bad?

I believe 2014 will be the best Boating season ever . My home backs on to the Grand River and never have I seen it frozen completely over . The deepest snow drifts in years . Water levels will be high , beer will be on sale , the sun will shine , pretty women will work on their "full" tans and gas will be reasonable .
Yupp that's what I believe .

I like what you believe. Lol

''will snow help '' !!! I thought I read '' will snow MELT '' !!!

Let's hope! I like your attitude!!

Actually, the way this winters going I am
Beginning to wonder if this snow will EVER melt, lol

I am no expert but my guess

Yes a Tiny bit

Lake Superior feeds the rest of the lakes. There needs to be a lot of snow melt and water run off up there

Last summers cooler temps helped stop evaporation (they were not that bad we still put the normal amount of hours on each boat)

More Ice Coverage definitely will help a little

Overall I doubt we have been keeping track long enough to even understand the cycles of the great lakes. Lets hope they stay full of beautiful water for us to enjoy!

Yes it will help, How do I know? cause I said so!!!!! LOL

Bahahahahaha, coming from a midget. 3' is deep for you Ryan. Said with luv, lol your pal Santa.

Where on the Grand are you? We live in Waterford, and boat out of Port Dover.

At this point, I don't care if water come up, I just want it to THAW OUT! LOL, sick
Of winter!

The snow is lake water evaporated and dumped elsewhere. Best scenario would be a hard freeze on the great lakes. Upper Lk. Mi is frozen now from Beaver Island north.

I heard a couple days ago that normal ice coverage on the Great Lakes is 12% in January. As of last week it is 27%, way up with another Polar Vortec on its way. Good things will come from this, more water!

Great! If we can keep the Asian carp out of the GL's it should be an awesome summer (-:

Cool! A good solid freeze should hopefully kill
off some of the bugs too, more water and less bugs equal a damn good summer (-:

Michigan has the most snow cover in the nation

Well, we just got ANOTHER 15cm's today, Man I miss summer.

Anyone with a 35zr or 36 NT Supercat near the St Lawrence on here? I need a ride in one, or both, this summer, will buy gas and bring beer (-:

38ZR in MIchigan, near Detroit Come on Down.

Sounds good! Will try and get down this summer! I will also be at the Alex Bay and 1000 Islands Run (to watch) So anyone heading to either one let me know, Thanks!

And THANKS Mark! For the invite (-:

Michael

Well, we got ANOTHER load of snow recently, sure glad I didn't buy that Mach Z my buddy was selling back in November, because I didn't figure we would get any snow this year!!??

GRRRRR!!!!!
