    The winter forecast for our area is mild & wet and the summer forecast for 2018 is hot & dry.

    For this winter we are close to the line that says mild & snowy.

    I like the part of, "We'll see how wrong they are." Tis only a guess.

    If we have another no snow year, maybe it's time to sell the sleds.

    I remember when we sold our machines. Part of the same problem with lack of snow or lack of snow over a period of time. It is disheartening to own a machine especially if you can use it only a few weeks per year. That is one good reason to go to atv's rather than snow machines unless you live in a good snow belt.

    It seems like we get a good snow followed by a good rain in the winters of the last two years.

    I hope we do, nothing like pushing snow with the tractor in colder weather.
