Please Guys - Turn Some Cold Air Loose
 
Come on you guys up North. Send some of that cold South.

Hunted Saturday morning in 78 degrees and high humidity. Deer didn't even bother getting off their beds. Saturday evening - on my standat 3 p.m. in 81 degrees.Saw one very small yearlingdoe that looked lost - someone must have got her momma. On stand again at oh-dark-hundred this morning in a short sleevecamoT-shirt. When the dawn came the fog was so thick I couldn't see20 yards. Gave up after two hours and went back to camp and cooked myself a big breakfast.

Our rut usually kicks in the week before Christmas, but I'm not even seeing any scrapes yet. NEED SOME COLD AIR!

We had -8ºF last night. Would that cool you down enough?

Last weekend my blind turned into a iglo. Had 1/4 inch of ice on it from freezing rain. You can have all of that weather you want, I don't want it.

No thanks Cauygad, Don't want it ALL - just a little will do. :D You can keep your snow FG, although I do suppose it makes tracking easier. Deer don't leave prints in pine needles. And Cage, so far as I'm concerned, ice is useful only insingle malt Scotch or a chest of fish.

If you don't like the weather here in Eastern NC, give it a few hours, it'll change;).

Well last night was a real eye opener.. we hit -18.2ºF. When the dog and I went out for our morning walk in the woods, needless to say it was brisk. Of course it had warmed up to -8.4ºF. I did not see any grouse which was OK. With the gloves I had on, shooting the New Englander might have taken some time.

Normally we are not this cold at this time of the year. The real cold comes the end of January and February. We can hit -40ºF or more then. Not every night thank goodness. The water pipes would never stand the strain.

I have a sister that used to live in Statesboro Georgia. I could not believe people lived in that country. Hot, humid, BUGS, but the local population just did not seem bothered by it all. Thank goodness for her in ground pool.I guess you get used to every part of the country you live, and learn to adjust.

It was really warm here above Memphis mid 70's and raining with lots of tree top shaking winds. Tried to deer hunt all day in it. Never saw first one.

I sure would like to send you some rain, ever since I laid out a plan to do some testing [shooting] its been raining it got to the point where it was hard to see the 100yd target a couple of times. Lee

Semisane, see what you have done to southwestern OK. We are now having an ice storm:D:D.Yesterday afternoon i was run off a deer stand by the weather for the first time in 30 years. The cold i could have tolerated: Ditto for the freezing rain. But the thunderwith the lightning strikes very close bywere too much for me, so i left.

RE: Please Guys - Turn Some Cold Air Loose
 
Well, falcon, I hereby submit my plea of "not guilty". I feel I bearno responsability for freezing rain, lightning, thunder, or any other weather releated events that may affect others on this forum. All I am asking is for the jet stream to shift South a few hundred miles to allow a cold front to lower our temperatures to what they should be in mid-December (day time highs in the 60's, night time lows in the 40's). I feel this is not unreasonable and will not tolerate accusations.

got a little light rain going on right now. You all know what that turns out to be once it gets colder out.. More snow! Only calling for 1-2" of snow for today and then another 2" tomorrow.
