I am watching this weather and depending on what happens I might head north for some snow fun. Anybody want to make a day of it? Not 100% on this yet but just throwing it out there. //popcorn//
-
I have thought about it.
-
Already planned... did you see the thread?

Looked at the thread about snow and I guess that would be the one you are telling me to see. This is a bit more to the point. So by tonight we can have a definite plan set and list of riders. Watching and hoping for the white stuff.
-
I haven't been home all week, but the girlfriend (Connie) says that we have 4-6" of snow. I live about 4 miles from the back entrance to Charlie's Creek. I'm headed home now up 515

Sounds like a plan. We closed the restaurant and I could head up today. I asked my wife to go ahead and leave work eailer. I hope she did as she works downtown.
Ben, let me know as I'm right up the road from you.
-
Let's make sure it's snow and not a sheet of ice. I am game
-
If it's snow, I'm interested too.
-
I will continue to post up thru the day and tonight. Like Bobby said, if it turns out to be a sheet of ice you can forget it. Getting up there would be the hardest part of it all. I know some good roads we can hit in helen or Dahlonega so we have choices.

Are you talking today or tomorrow for the possible trip?
-
In Helen it says it's supposed to start snow @ 4pm
-
Weird, no snow in hiawassee, but lots past shake rag (bell mountain)
-
I will be on Fort Mtn. playing if we get any snow. It is only 6.6 miles away from the house. :)

My Jeep is not rode worthy at the moment or i would consider it. Stay as far away as you can from Tray Mtn, there will be a thousand Jeeps up there all weekend.

No tray mtn... no brainer. Mortalis, Saturday.

Dang. We only closed the restaurant today, so I might go today. Got any good places? Pm me if you want.

The four inches I have left here in hiawassee after the rain, is pure slush! Knock someone out with a snowball. If temp drops below freezing, them it snows it's gonna be solid ice under the new snow. There was no snow down low until you pass the high school in town, headed towards Clayton.
Just a heads up
-
Interested...need firmer plans, though

Firm being the key word here.

Hiawassee around 430
-
People must have stayed home or it hasn't hit any farther south as the Atlanta map still looks 90% green which usually doesn't happen on the nicest of Fridays.
I made it from Dunwoody to Kennesaw in 35 minutes at 4:30 pm (departure).

I think a lot left early because offices were closed early and schools were letting out early and there were no after school programs.

People weren't idiots or no one was on the road or ?
nah..idiots were still out there. But traffic was light and there weren't any major incidents.

So.... What's on
-
another club has a scheduled ride at Trey
tomorrow not sure if it's still on...
-
We have probably 1". From what I am hearing around town the roads are slick. They have closed down a few roads that have big hills
-
They just closed hwy 52 right past my house going towards Dalton
-

Doug I'm up in Ellijay and would be happy to meet you around Dahlonega if you wanted. Nimblewill Gap up to Amicolola could be a snowy ride, but not sure how many others will be on it.

Well based on what Bobby knows, may be a challenge on some of the roads.

There is another big wave going to hit up here again. My suggestion it lets all touch base in the AM
-
Who did you have in mind?
I'll be going a with a group of about 30 up Tray Mountain tommorow.
-

Wonder which group that is.... Hrmm....
It's a group that hardly ever rides.....
not one of the ones posting rides every
week where they shouldn't be

Going to be crowded lol. I might just go to Helen for a beer.

We got more snow over night. Also lost power something last night. It's back on now.
-
I plan on heading to Cashes Valley around lunch time I know I have a couple Jeep following already
-
I also have seen a group heading to Springer Mountain.
-
Ehhh, I am staying home. Not enough to get me up there. Probably be a mad house anyway.

My house this morning, Hiawassee. 7" plus, frozen snow with new dry snow on top. Back roads are pretty slick, windy and cold. Several trees down. Good luck, I think I'm staying home

Looks like the best ride of the year.

Looks like fun! Wish I could've joined you guys. Bobby which part of the trail are those more rutted out pics from? Doesn't look familiar. But looks fun.

Went up Tray with a group of 50/ 60 Jeeps. 3 miles in we came to 5/6 trees that had fallen, one fell & missed one of our Jeeps by a few feet. We got everyone turned around & got the hell out.
Went to Big Daddys & got lunch. We got a group of 7 Jeeps & went up the back side of Tray. Really pretty & no trees were down.

WOW, I also had a tree fall less than 5 mins after moving my Jeep back a few feet when we were up there Saturday morning.
