And the real-world results:
And it's still morning.. Ah, well, I shoulda covered it up. Anyway, school's out cause of the freezing rain and it's a disgusting day to be riding so what do I get to do? Hang out on snowmobilefanatics of course.

been raining here on and off all day and still have 14 inches in the fields, wet stuff though but the trails are turning to mud and slush. when it cools down they will be ice. hopefully we will get the usual snowstorms in march before the gates are closed on april 1st.

its raining pretty good in Thunder Bay. The only upside is we should have a solid base after this, but i hope the we keep most of the snow, or get a lot more.

Ditto that! Grass and mud. On the bright side I took my Banshee out for a couple mud-hole shots. Warm enough to skip the coat.

I took a piss in a snowbank that I do on a regular basis 4 days ago, and thought to myself "Man the snow is really starting to melt!"
Today I said to myself "Oh S?!* My memory failed me as to how the hill was sloped towards me and my piss would usually get soaked up like a snow cone. Not today!!!!
This is my fault for buying a new sled, 12c or 53.6f for wed feb 11/09. THIS ROYALLY SUCKS!
You can taunt mother nature all you want but it gets to a point where you have to take your streetbike for a rip!!!!!!!
