Default Let it snow

I was just checking the weather for our muzzy season,they are saying a high of -2 all week and snow every day.Well after our shotgun hunt 2 week of rain and 50kmh winds the cold and snow would be a welcome sight.Season starts DEC 3rd
can't wait.

oh ya it does, but when it does I do not want to know about it... We have hunted in -20 but i would not want to make a habit of it - but we can rationalize it by saying it is a dry cold so it really is not as bad as it seems... it is all about fooling the mind...

Suppose to be 18 in the morning and I am thinking that is plenty cold... Need to make them elk think the same thing so they will get up in feed in the morning even though there is a full moon tonight...

In my part of the world, that's what we say about +35! I do believe I would die at below 0.
