If anyone is wondering WHY it has not snowed (1 inch or more) in Syracuse NY for 276 Days... the reason is below...
--------------------------------

According to experts at the Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University, as Thanksgiving turned into Black Friday, the region had gone 275 days without an inch or more of snow, tying a record set in 1946.

It didn’t snow an inch or more from Feb. 28, 1946, to Nov. 30, 1946. This year, it hasn’t snowed an inch or more since Feb. 23.

What had been a very snowy winter came to an abrupt halt in late February. The next month proved the least snowy March on record, and the only measurable snowfall in April was 0.7 inches April 7.

800cc, Liquid cooled, 2-stroke, 150 HP, and it's my first sled... when it doesn't snow here they get pretty cheap. It's the first time in 10 years I have NOT dreaded winter

WICKED looking bike ...
the first ones ware the ones that bang you up, BADLY

Jeez;

If all it took to stop it from snowing was you buying a new sled,we would have pitched in long ago....

Have fun in Tug-Hill it's coming...

Still no snow... (We're deep into the record now)
A friend of mine lives in Lowville on the snowmobile trail. What's amazing to me is that I can get from Syracuse to the Arctic circle on published trails. I've read there are 200K miles of registered trails in the US alone. Anyway, this was purchased at the suggestion of my "Counsel of Experts" (AKA: the guys at the bar) after listening to me complain about winters in NY for 10 years. I bought the Sled, and look at me, I'm STILL complaining

Hope your tuned up,snow,cold,and lake effects are here!

4 inches today...
FEET this weekend... everything is ready...

yay for you... i have a new bigger carb on the way for one of my hopped up atv!

Whoops, 45 degrees and raining... 4 feet in the Tug Hill Plateau over the last several days, but it's dissolving quickly...

did you get to ride?
I did on saturday... in the rain.. 44deg...
it was friggin cold, but the ONLY way to get to my stand that day was on a 4wheeler

I did!... I have 1.3 miles logged in a circle in the backyard (3 acres)

I actually hit some Ice, got sideways and got pitched off, so I have my first accident too.

LOL.. there's that .. break anything? parts, bike, or human bits?

Nuthing broke... I was going pretty slow and sacrificed myself for the sled... I'm one of those guys who wears a helmet when he moves his bike in the garage

my helmut and goggles have saved me from an annoying to deadly accident more than once

how about NOW?
I am in detroit this week, and the so far missed here .. going home in 4 hours!

NOTHING!
I rode anyway, on 2". For the first time ever NYC has more snow than we do. I'm sure this won't last too long. But for now it's a little weird.

Snow? White Christmas?

40 degrees and RAIN... The grass is poking through what little snow we had. Dallas gets snow sheeze.

well. .. does that ride have reverse? I could make a KILLER kart out of it!!

Yes it does... in an ingenious stroke of engineering the wise canuks have provided a button that actually reverses the motor (!!!) so you can go as fast in forward as in reverse.

Anyway, I plan in putting wheels on the front and a slick track on it in the summer and taking it to the local 1/4 mile track. This is pretty common and all the parts are commercially available. Average times are high 11's low 12's. Race sleds pull 8's
