RE: What The HELL???
 

it's a little brisk this morning.. this one always reads warmer then it really is, so I like it a lot more then the one that tells you the real temperature outside. My other two say 5º



We've only got about six inches on the ground. I sure wish that big lake effect storm would head over here and drop a couple feet of snow for us. Then you can have some real fun. This is my side yard by the kitchen. This is where my grouse all come in to eat... or be eaten..

No major snow in lower Michigan yet. But this morning was 9 degrees and I had a little crack in my winshield that turned into a two footer over night. Now I need a new windshield.

:D:D I had to put on an extra jacket just to look at those pictures. Sure is pretty. I've never hunted in snow. Would be interesting to try some day. It must be a heck of a lot easier spotting a deer.

RE: What The HELL???
 

Easier to spot, track, and stalk as the snow gets things nice and quiet. As I am sure Statjunk and other snow bound members know. Also it keeps the less then dedicated hunters,moving around as they hate to stand and shiver. So they push and movedeer. The problem was, there were no deer to push this year. :(

I live in what's known as the snow belt. Its the part of Wisconsin that when you hear... it snowing in Wisconsin. :) its my house they are talking about. The last few years have been mild but we used to average well over 120 inches of snow in a winter. We are no where near as bad as what the Yoopers get in the UP.

My neighbor always tells about the year the snow was so deep that the train went by his place and all he could see was the smoke from the engine. The tracks ran along the road, and the snow plowed up off the roads was so high, and the train tracks of course lower then the road bed, hid the train from sight behind the snow banks.

We have not had a good snow in this part of OK for about 20 years. Maybe we will get one this winter-hope.

falcon, you are welcome to our ration.But I would rather have snow than ICE.

Ya'll southern fellows would never camp on a northern fellows door step unless ya'll wanted to end up like a pop sicle. Best beat on the door and hope we let ya'll in.

Sunday morning here we had 6 inches of new snow that started Saturday afternoon. At 6:00AM as I looked at my weather station we had 12F with a wind chill of Negtive -3F wind was from the NW @ 9 MPH. I went hunting but did not open the window on the west side of the blind.
Monday evening it started snowing again, turned to rain just after first light Tuesday. Rained till after last light and turned back to snow. Aint any critter that walks or crawls can move in the woods with out every thing in the section hearing it. That crust makes a squirrel sound like a elphant going thru the woods.
This morning I saw 18 baldies and heard every one of them coming before I seen them. Every one of them had frost on their backs and icecles hanging from their chins. I'll upload a picture of one in a bit.
We have a good 8 inches of snow on the ground despite the rain Tuesday. Supposed to warm this Saturday and Sunday.
My brother farther north than me got just over a foot of snow Tuesday.

The coldest its been so far is only -8.8º so that's not too bad. When you get them -25º mornings that's when it starts to get your attention. Actually the other night be had a walking moon. For those that live in the city, a walking moon is a full moon on snow with little snow cover. Its so bright out that the trees have shadows and you can go for a walk without a flashlight, in the middle of the night.
