Got up this morning to freezing rain which turned to snow very quickly. I went to check the dog's food and water and there was 2" of water in the food dish. The forecast is for 4 - 8" more of that white crap! We've had 77" of snow, 3" of rainand 1 1/2" of ice so far this winter. Who else has gotten hit this hard this year (other than Iowa)? In one winter, we have gotten over 2 years worth of precipitation. I can't wait for this to melt off (slowly I hope to prevent flooding) so I can do some shed hunting.

Luckily here in North Mississippi, we have only gotten rain. Seems to be a lot more than the past few jans and febs though. Maybe this is a good sign.

Minnesota has been lacking in the snow department this year (24" where I live I'm guessing) but the cold temps have reared there head to much this winter. I read on the news that Madison Wisconsin has 70+ inches already, thats a record for them as well. You can have it!!

I'm going Ice Fishing on Tuesday through Thursday to the old king of big crappies, Upper Red Lake In Northern Minnesota! 15" crappies use to be the norm on this lake, kinda got fished out though! Can't wait to get out of here for a few days and relax.

If this is global warming, I think we need global cooling for a while to get rid of this stuff! With the snow we are now getting as a bonus mother earth is giving is winds sustained at 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph. After spending 4 hours on the lane yesterday to get the packed snow out of there, I now cannot even see the lane! After I got finished yesterday, I had snow piled up 3' on each side of the lane. OK all you yankees, lets box all this stuff up and send it south of the Mason-Dixon line and watch them freak out!
