Try being in Springfield last year. It was 5 times as bad as St. Louis. Missouri state was closed for a week, which never happens. Funny pasrt was this happened at the end of christmas break so we got 40 days off for our break. I came back to school and my apartment was 34 degrees inside. Luckily the girlfriend had electric by then. They are saying this storm could be like last years, but i doubt it.
Dude....I saw the carnage that that storm left last year....it was awful. You can still see the damage that the majority of the trees down there incurred.

I'm in the metro-east STL area and we were out of power a few days over here.

It's been raining all weekend here but no ice yet where I'm at. I'm SouthEast of STL.

Just open that window over the plot and your set.[8D]
That thought has crossed my mind. It would definately be the most comfy blind I ever sat in.

By the way this was last year in my neighborhood.

I to was iced in today, but I am lucky enough to be able to get to some woods without actually driving. I went out for about 2 hours this afternoon and just slowly walked around and checked out some fields. I had not seen many fresh tracks, so I figured the deer would need to feed at some point.

Finally after a little over an hour I saw my only 2 deer of the day, 2 does. I was able to slowly stalk within 42 yards of one of the does, and held tight behind a big pine tree. I knew the doe was going to cross between 15 and 20 yards in front of mewith the route she was taking.

My mistake was that I was so focused on the closest doe that I wasn't paying attention toher partner. After hearing it blow behind me I soon realizedthe other doehad came into the woodsand gotten downwind of me. Oh well still had a fun time freezing my butt off out there.

Last year's storm was a bad one. I was stuck in my house for the better part of 3 days, but it was in the middle of shotgun season so I was able to get a little hunting done and was lucky enough to harvest a doe by following some fresh tracks.

I live on top of a huge hill and there was no way I was going to be getting off of it last night during the middle of the storm. Hopefully it lets up a little tonight so I can make it to work in the morning. On second thought I hope it keeps on coming so I can hit the woods again

Had one here last year that left an unbelieveable amount of ice around my house. I didnt go to school for 4 days and the power was out for that long to. I will say it was the most beautiful sight i have ever seen though.
