Went out Saturday for a few hours and got back home just before it started to rain. It felt nice to be out riding. I also managed to get out for a bit yesterday so it was definitely a good weekend.
Thursday, February 1, 2018, 11:47 AM - An injection of warm air, but in the wrong place, has set into motion a developing frigid pattern across most of Canada for the month of February and with it, an abundance of winter weather across the south.
This bullish push of mild temperatures near Alaska acts like a surgical knife as it thrusts into the Arctic circle and cuts into the coldest air on the planet, the polar vortex, forcing this region of frigid air to settle into more southern latitudes. This type of pattern can often lead to a dominant cold snap for many areas across Canada and will be the general feature for the month ahead – but it will have starkly different impacts depending on location.
WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS:
Polar vortex settles over Hudson Bay for much of February
Coldest air targets northern and central Canada, with periodic shots of bitter cold air across the south
Abundant winter weather ahead for many across southern Canada with several shots of snow
Well...there's always March to look forward to. Maybe.
March...perhaps mid march would be a nice little early start to the season
Feb 18th.Great spectator event or just run what ya brung! http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforu...rix-de-Snow-2018&highlight=Grand+prix+de+snow
If the snowmobile trails are still closed there's a good chance I'll go to this, I missed it last year because I was rebuilding my bike. Question though. What are the events? Is it a race like a winter hare scramble or?
Very cool. Thanks for the link. I won't be going to the effort of studding tires so a broken collarbone might be in my store for me but what the heck the dirt bike needs some time on it.
Btw I checked out some of the other links on that page and judging by your sig you have a green trials bike. If so good chance it's you in one of the pictures on the direct motocross article if you didn't know that already. Nicely done!
OK now I'm getting PMS.
I shouldn't really... as if there is one month of the year that I am least likely to ride my bike it is February. I think the last few years have spoiled me a bit and hopefully we will get a few days of no snow and no ice or snow covered roads.
