6 to 8 inches here in manning wet and sticky but great ride today! 30 miles on new xf800 high country. this sled is the real deal! but not the muscle sled my brothers apex is, that turbo is an animal

Talked to a buddy and looks like nothing to speak of in Oakland. I'm in Des Moines this morning and there is nothing.

We got about 6 inches here in Sioux center

 

[Steelman]

SW Iowa got about 1". Was up in Marcus, Ia and Sioux City, Ia. both I would say had 3-4 and not much more then 5"

I hear ya. Have not even took it out of storage yet. Looking forward to riding west.

Still no luck to ride here in SW IA. Got 2" last night. River by town is starting to freeze up nice, but they are talking 40's this weekend and next week. Won't make it. Does not look good for the rest of the month either.

 

[maddog21]

yes its gonna be a ugly weekend & next week. I just got my snowmobile back from the shop today then rode it at home for alittle bit... ah that felt good.

Glad the sled is ok. How much snow do you have? We will be grass by the end of the weekend. I new there was a reason I was going to start going west

about 7 inch of powder with no windy from this week someplace I found more than 7inch today when I was out hunting.
lets hope that snow wont melt alot.
I just got my first Iowa permit sticker for my sled this year in case if I want to go to Lake View and Okoboji for winter game this year.

Winter Games/Iowa Forum ride should be a fun time, if we can get enough snow. I'm not feeling very good about it.

Snow is pretty much completely gone in Northwest Iowa again.... with temperatures in the 40's next week I don't think thhings are looking very positive for the winter games!

 

[dsmitty166]

There are parts of the lake that aren't even froze over yet

 

[maddog21]

starting to see some ground around here now. might will rain this week. gonna be sucks this month.

 

[summit154]

Rain will get rid of the rest of the little snow we have left....maybe we will get lucky and that rain will be about 12" of snow instead!

 

[Steelman]

Now your talking. Now come back to earth. You live in Iowa. LOL

 

[dsmitty166]
