Michigan Tacomas

Hopefully! I'd like to XC ski, skate, and fat bike a few times this winter.

 

I’ve been several times, most recently 2 years ago. I would not try it in December, they can get a lot of snow overnight.This is the snow gauge down by Houghton/Hancock

 

Motels should be open for snowmobiling, if you go check out Brockway Mountain Drive, awesome views, especially for fall colors, too late for that.

There's really nothing in the way of snow up there right now. You can check some webcams in the area. I'd probably estimate an inch or two and melting.

 

I would agree. I think it was 2011 with the mid or late February “snowpacalypse” storm we had gotten. I went to snow blow the driveway (with a 30” unit”) and the snow was over the opening of the machine nearly bogging it down at times. Our taco was an incredible truck to drive through all of that mess.

 

Possible snow coming next week!

 

Got my leaf blower on standby, snow blower moved to Alaska

 

Weather app says chance of light flurries this afternoon. I only had literally 1 good day to shovel the pond hockey rink last year…Not looking much better this year..Hoping for a wicked cold late winter

 

Last year we got one of those wide shovels they use during media timeouts in hockey games so we could shovel our lake. We have not had a good reason to even assemble it, sadly.

 

I live in SW Mi, saw golfers out the other day

 

They have some of the best downhill MTB trails I've ever seen ! Hope to get up that way this spring .
Iron Mountian is in my trip plans this year too

 

I want one of those but can’t justify for said reasons. Once it’s consistently cold again maybe I’ll pick one up.

The weak edge on a snow shovel leads to a multiple punches in the gut with rough ice and takes forever haha. And the snowblower leaves an inch or two of snow and requires shoveling so it’s pretty much double the work

do you flood your rink?

 

No, we have a family cabin on a lake so we have to just hope the underlying ice is smooth or it makes for some interesting skating. I also currently live in an apartment complex but the goal is to one day have a back yard rink.

 

As a delivery driver, this has been fantastic for this time of year, only 45 days of hell to come, maybe, instead of 90 days of hell this winter..

 

I just want some snow to take my kid out to do donuts. And use that little mirror defrost button for the 1st time haha

 

I think it was the blizzard of 68’ I remember best. I’ll have to google it, do they still not plow the side streets in Detroit proper. They didn’t when I was a kid.

 

Nope , lucky if the main drags here are done . They usually plow Gratiot , but south of 8 mile they don't. Usually go out with a tow strap and yank people out for 40 bucks a pop . 68 before my time , but I do remember riding in my dad's truck in the late 80's with snow rolling up over the hood . And it was lifted on 38's too . crazy thinking about back then , and how much snow we got and today we haven't even gotten anything yet
