Default Favorite weather conditions?

So just to get a little conversation going, what is your favorite weather condition to bowhunt the rut?

Please share stories, reasons why you like said weather condition, etc.

I'm a fan of light snow fall. I've always had better deer sightings with a light snow and killed my first deer (gun season however) in a light snow. It's beautiful to watch snowfall from stand, especially when the deer are out and about!

I love me a nice Light snow, Especially when the ground is covered with like a inch of fresh heavy powder.

Light snow meaning it will be cold and the deer will be moving.

my favorite time to deer hunt, and when ive seen the most deer is on a calm, light drizzling day, with a temp around 35-45 *

next i like a calm, clear, cold day, around 20-35 *

I like a Cold Crisp morning with a light snow begining to fall. I like this even better when the first heavy snow of the year is just hours away. This means there is a good chance that the deer will be out and about after food before the storm. Then i like to be int the treestand when the storm quits if this happens in daylight cuz the deer will really be moving then!!!

Cloudy, cold around 30 degrees, little to no wind. Maybe a flurry or 2.

I like it like this. I saw the biggest buck of my life stick his head out from between these two spruces while hunting Alberta. I love the snow/cold for the rut, which we don't get in Pa.

As long as it's cold, I don't care too much. Hate the wind though.
