Amazing in a very bad way.

Oh Well gonna have to work next week after all.So much fr sledding vacation!

We are rebooking for week of Feb 20 I guess.

Hopefully things will be back to whatever normal is by then.

J-G we will eventually meet.

Northern NB took a hard hit from this storm as well and trails closed there.

Here on South Shore(Bridgewater area) of NS we have all bare ground.+ 10 today and very heavy rain and winds gusting 90 kph.

Guess I will be putting some wood in the basement now that the snow is off the pile.

I would much rather be in QC on my sled though.

As I have always said "Mother Nature can be a fickle Bitch at times" This is one of them.

hHi J-G

We just got about 1 ' in total over last 2 days here.

Hopefully you will soon get some there.

Our snow is the light fluffy stuff but will help cover the Ice that is on our trails here.

We need some mild weather for it to be packable and groomable though.

We ended up with mainly Bare ground and some icey spots here on South Shore of NS after that recent rain/meltdown.

Hope to meet up with you in a couple of weeks time.

Hi Jean-Guy...

Almost unbeleviable the lack of snow everywhere. Everyone heading to West Quebec, it is going to be a mess there, maybe they can hire you to groom some of the bumps... :drinks:

If we don't get to the Gaspesie this winter maybe we will do a tour in the summer on bikes, I have some guys interested, time will tell. 8)

hi phil !!

very sad indeed !!no traffic at all here.i thought that winter 87 or 88 was bad...but this one is nt too nice right now.i see more 4 wheelrs right now than sleds.

my newphew bought a 800 summit with 2.5 ''...'' lugs'' ,only 3 week ends of riding..1300 km .no riding for him since at least 2 weeks.he was riding mostly at the faribault camp..trail 595 .

maybe i should call fcmq ..for grooming..who knows !!

abitibi is very nice..big lakes..huge rivers....but its flat compared to gaspesie..fun to go up hill and down hill while grooming !!

gaspesie is very nice during summer too.you won t regret ..if i can find a thread about gaspesie (summer pics ) i ll pm it to you !!

winter should be like the pic....taken march 23 th 08...that year ,my last run was on april 2 or 3 th..after a 1' storm or so !!nice drifts that day !!

trail for the lake right behind my truck..at the farm.about 1 mile from where i took the pic this morning

I was thinking that yesterday that they should bring some groomers up to the areas with snow and broken or busy groomers! But I know we talk about this here in Ontario all the time too. The areas with snow are in need and the areas with no snow have a lovely groomer sitting there doing nothing!
