Lets try this again for this year. Did not get much interest in this last year, but is fun to hear what everyone is hearing.

My weather forecast shows record snowfall, one blizzard after another starting Dec 1 through March 31. I put more miles on a rental sled during one trip to the Snowies than I did on my ZR all last winter. Come on Snow Gods!!!!!!!! We are due!

Im predicting strong snowfall at the start, then a steady let down to the rest of the season as usual.

I like the first part, but we all know how it really is around here every year.

You better keep your sled here this year, does not look good for out west

The last two years in a row I have been out west when we got the biggest storms of the year in northwest iowa. Now obviously the riding here doesn't compare but it sure if fun doing a little ditch hopping when the snow is half way decent. Otherwise the sled sits in the garage all winter til the next trip!! LOTS OF SNOW PLEASE FOR IOWA!!!

 

[Steelman]

Lets hope for a lot for Iowa and out West!!!!!

I already plan on two trips west. Feb and then Mar. I think it is going to be another year like last. I only put 434 miles on sled. Should have less then 300, but rode a few days on marginal snow.
