Paula Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 My bike get blocked in so I don't take it out, I use to ride as long as there was no snow. We need a good hard rain before mine comes out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ants Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 It finally started to thaw, a couple weeks ago. I took the dog down to the trails yesterday and there is as much dirt/mud as there is snow now. Its going to be 60 out tomorrow!!!! Im picking up a new ATV in a few days and its getting broken in, no matter what its like outside !!

Doc Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Well, here's the good news. The melt has been so controlled and slow that most is gone or very thin without any flooding this year. Not even a threat of a flood. The swamp is still low, and the ditches down my driveway are handling any run-off including the occasional rain. If you had to plan and execute a controlled winter thaw, this would be it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thphm Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It is still winter by me snow everywhere,it's down to 6"-8" deep, with very few bare spots except where I plowed as the driveway and around the house. , the bad part is that it is very wet with ice under it. It took me 2 hours to make a 100 foot path with the 4 wheel drive JD with the bucket on the front , a full weight box on the back and chains on all four wheels.That was going up hill at about a 15 degree angle,only another 500 feet to get to the fire wood I have up there. So the stories about the snow keeping the ground from freezing is not true, since the average temp. around me in Feb. was 9 degrees. We will see if the warm weather we might get today does some more melting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kot2B Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Stone let us know how the hatfield and McCoy trails are. We have been thinking about taking the RZRs there. Winter was absolutely brutal this year and not only has my house been beat on but I had a ton of problems with the cold and the plumbing in my rentals. On a brighter note at least we got lots of sap for Maple syrup. 20 gallons of finished syrup to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
