Hey moderators. Is it possibe to place SRX600's post (no.9) of the Hardy webcam onto a sticky in the Dakota section? Since it is always updated it would be an excellent source of snow and weather info for those checking on the Black Hills.

Figured it out. The post has been moved to the Trail cams topic and is now sticked at the top of the fourm. in the ND/SD Cams section.

Hopefully this is what you guys were looking for.

Looks like there is supposed to be a good chance starting Saturday night into Sunday night.

From the look of the Cams not much has stuck. Is the weather pretty warm?
My first trip your way was planned for 3 weeks from now and its not looking good.

 

[polaris dude]

no its not, and there isn't much moisture in the forecast either... :/

Definitely too warm. Put up Christmas lights today in without a jacket. However I did ride on Monday. Hot Springs got 5 inches and I made a few full throttle pulls in the ditch in front of the Mammoth Site. This was the second time we got 5 inches this month but it only lasts 2 days.

Im right there with ya. Its been 60-65 here for the last week. The rest of this week is supposed to be close to the same before it cools off.

However, It looks like the forecast has the potential for some snow coming up. Possibility of 5-11 inches. It would be a good start. Not near enough for me to bring this 910 up there though. Maybe my Van Amuburg XCR 800 triple mod or my 03 800 Rmk.

Hard to say, ground is too warm and the air gets too warm during the day.

Where are you seeing the forecasted amount of snow?

I saw it on the weather channel on TV. Who knows if it will come true.

Hopefully the snows starts pouring in. I would like to get out to the hills a couple times this year. Always used to hit it up a couple times a year, but just drove right on past every time last year.

 

[polaris dude]

^I agree. I got out to the hills once and it wasn't pretty. But it does suck to have to drive 10+hours to get to the big horns or anywhere else.
