Hey guys, i live in Central New York, last weekend i was in red feild New york riding in about 24 inches of snow.
lol Seven days later,December 14 now, its supposed to be 53 degrees and rain for the rest of the week. Looks like we might be having a green Christmas and a crapy riding year, just a gess.
How the weather where you live?

The weather sucks but it is only the 14th of december. The year has just begun. We will get snow. This is only a teaser for the warm weather lovers. Winter will come and it will slap all of them in the face.

CNY here too Sledhead.
I took the rest of this year off from work, hoping to get a jump start on my miles this season, only to be faced with the possibility that my grass will grow so long the only thing I'll be riding is the ol' John Deere

I was pleasantly surprised to find more snow when I got home this week from school than when I left last weekend after this warm week we had. Night and day difference by going 70 miles north.

I am praying for that day. I'm going to go postal on the next person that talks about how nice the weather is. Keep the faith guys, it is still early.... at least for us MidWest guys.

Yeah..this is a real bummer. I just bought my first sled and I can't wait to get that first ride in, probably won't be til mid january the way things are going.
It probably wasn't the best year to get into it, but I keep my fingers crossed! Like xcr440 said, this weather is just a teaser.

Darkstar I think you, Bmxican, Miker, and I should all get praying then because by the looks of it, we may not get snow until just before or more likely after Christmas. I just hope its cold and theres enough snow to snowmobile over winter break because i'm going to Brainerd. They should have snow, but its been proven to not have any before either.
