Yep we heard it all that year.Turkeys were frozen solid to limbs,a herd of deer was found frozen solid standing up in a valley in Potter county,and alot of other stories.I heard it all that year.
The following winter I went to camp in march to have a well dug after a long time of deep snow and I did find two skeletons of young deer where the snow had melted.It was right beside the road so I couldn't tell if idiots poached them,starvation,or predators got them.Being right beside the road I'm thinking idiots shot them and left them lay.
