Suicide Watch
 

Since this is the NE section I thought I would recieve the most simpathy.My boat is wraped up in it's winter condom.And there is no snow anywhere even north of the border.The snowmobile season is what gets me threw the winter and without it I'm about to jump off the Bear Mountain Bridge.Just thought there might be a few fellow sledders/boats in the same situation feeling my pain.Here is a couple pic's from two weeks ago to help you make it threw this these tough times

Ewwwwwww what's all that white cold stuff? :cool-smiley-027:

I feel the same way live wire. We need more snow! I only have 3 days and 190 miles on my sleds so far this winter.

COnsider your self lucky. Mine has 78 miles of private trails.:(
Snow tonight though maybe?

How much snow you end up with? it was a dud down here. we had a heavy snow warning in effect when i went to bed. i woke up to 1" of slop!

5" so far in Boston, :( Gladhe8er, where is that picture in your avatar taken.?? Island Pond, VT. ??

That pic is at "The Big T"...a section trail between Indian Lake, NY and Inlet/Old Forge, NY.

nice in vt road 2 weeks ago

3 inches at most :(

A couple of Pics of TUG HILL last year

Some more

These pictures make me miss home!!!! My dads cousin owned a dealership and we were lucky enough to "test drive" the sleds all winter:D

Man I Feel your pain!!!

Seems like Everyone rocks REV's around here. I'm a firecat guy right now, although that XP loks like a possibility...The girlfriend has a REV 600 HO SDI.

Seeing that pic of the OLE BARN gave me goosebumps is that fourth lake in the other shot

Actually, it is Lake George. It was taken from up on Prospect Mtn Highway.

I'm heading up Wed we have a camp in Brantingham hopefully be heading over to OF .There is the possibility of some significant snows coming in this weekend and early next week .

If you go up this weekend give me a call.

Maybe...
Depends on if you guys get some decent snow tonight/tomorrow.

4-5" at most is all they are talking about before it changes over to slop

Figures. I'll likely save it up for the weeend after...

I've got my snow dancing shoes on. I was really banking on this being a snowy winter so that my mind was off the new-to-me boat, but it's starting to get difficult!

You should have had that new boat sent right down to Florida

Screw snowmobiles. I have them but only use them once or twice a year when some of my stupid Floridian friends think its cool to drive 1800 miles up north only to freeze there asses off stay for 36 hours and drive back home !!:D:D

Sounds like your florida buddies would like a change in the seasons.I love the fact that just as I'm getting tired of the boating season its time to get back on the bikes ,soon after that its snowmobile season .Then back to the bikes for a bit, then its boating season again .GOTTA LOVE THE SEASONS

Same here...only I do quads instead of bikes.

I don't know how long it will last, but Ft. Drum is getting pounded right now which means Tug hill is getting hit even harder. Wish I would have never sold mine.

Tug hill is set up for some decent snow thru the weekend..

cold arctic air and winds out of the NW 15-25 mph = lots of snow

I have a quad also a 07' wolverine with 60 miles on it there just isnt anywhere to ride it legally around here.And I'm getting to old to try and out run cops.

you just need a faster quad that doesn't take any effort to out run them :p

Ha Kev
Any interest in going to the Sacondaga Poker run on June 28th, a bunch of us are going up.

Jim,

I definatley apprieciate the invite but I will be bringing the boat down to Virgina that week. Hows your winter been ,have you been out on the sleds?Its been great riding the last couple of weeks.

I hope all this rain that went through last few days did not happen up north. I know it was not snow. I talked to a buddy up in Maine and he said it did not rain as much as in MA. I am heading up tomorrow AM and hope to ride all day Friday.

Where are you riding? We have about 4' on the ground here in the Sebago lake area. You have to stay on the trails or your done. Also the street crossings are a biotch the banks are like cliffs. Went up to St. Agatha and that was unreal like snow super highways. can see riding into May at this point if the rain keep down. From here up the ridings the best I've seen.

I know upstate NY got rain. Looks like another nasty mix of freezing rain/sleet coming for Saturday. I'm gonna head up and try to ride somewhere.

It rained a few days back didn't put a dent in it.
Here's a house pic.

Two More
 

All in all it turned out to be a pretty good season.I had some of the best riding I can remember the last couple of weeks.I have two more trips planned March 14-17 , 28-31 I'm hoping the conditions last. If so I'll probally have 2500 miles for the season which is about average season for me. I am eager to get started on my boat motors upgrades so I'll be putting the sled away early this year to get a jump on the boating season.:boat:

One more weekend of riding for me. 885 miles so far...hope to crack 1000. It all dpends on the weather this weekend.

P.S. Nice pics Hydro. You will be riding through April!

Ha Kev
Not alot of ridding so far this year about 1000 miles when I'm usually good for 4. Going up this weekend are you. If so and you want to meet up by Braningham or Stillwater call me in Long Lake 518-624-4215 Saturday morning around 8:00 and will see whats up.

I have a house that I am building in Naples. I hear ya with the crossings. It is insane. I ussually can ride over them at the end of my driveway and then ride down the road, cross over the road and into the woods. Now I have to ride down the road all the way and try and find a place to punch through. Amazing what these sleds will go over if you beleive in them!

As long as you know whats on the other side! :eek:

I just got back after 4 days up in B-ham riding was awesome! If I went again this weekend my wife would string me up by my b*lls. But thanks anyway, I'm headin back up this thurs.
