Horrible weather around here over the weekend... I went out spotlighting last night for 3 hours - almost froze to death and hardly saw anything. Gale force winds made it feel like a blizzard, and snow was drifted all over the roads - luckily the drifts were only a couple inches deep.

Hunting out of an icy tree is scary. Weird thing is: Once you get past the icy trunk andclimb up into the stand and get settled in - you don't want to risk life and limb getting back down. LOLNothing sucks more than sitting in a stand, staring at the ground thinking "man, I sure wish I was down there... I REALLY don't want to climb back down this tree."

Also, when the trees are icy, it seems like there's enough limbs snapping and trees falling to makeyou tighten up the safety belt and take a little more defensive posture... Not fun.
