But man Im telling ya, that is cold here in South East Va, Today was high of 38 and we were all bundled up like it was -10 below!! Go ahead, laugh, but damn, that's cold for us!!

RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
Yep, I know how you feel, our high today was around 34 here in salisbury, nc. Forcast for tomorrow is a low of 13 in the morning and high of 38. You would think maybe we could get a little snow to go with the cold temps, but nope nothing but carolina blue skies down here.
|
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
Windchill will be in the single digits for us tonight...
 |
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
34 is nice sweatshirt and jeans weather as long as I'm moving. I love the cold except when it gets below -10 for a temp (not including windchill).

RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
Had a chinook blow through today and melt quite a bit of our snow. First time I've seen it above freezing in awhile now. Pretty nice not having to wear long sleeves outside.
|

RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
38???? Awe you poor baby. Cold weather hasn't hit here yet and it was below zero the last two nights. Got to a high of 11 yesterday and 10 today. We're on a warming trend though, it's only 2 outside right now. OH, did I mention all the snow on the ground and frozen lakes and rivers. 38....Pfffffffffffffftttt It's suppose to get up into the 40s Mon or Tues. If it weren't for the snow I could go golfing.

Us northern guys know how to dress for the extreme cold. 90% of the battle is having the right cold weather gear. I've found the key is to stay DRY meaning don't work up a sweat while walking to the stand. NEVER wear anything cotton. Stick to wool and synthetics. Layer, Layer, Layer. Keep your head, face, and neck warm. That works wonders!
Also, those boot insulators that go over your boots are VERY nice to have when it's cold. And keep chemical hand warmers in your pockets too. ;) Also, put down a rubber mat or carpet on your treestand platform. That keeps your feet warmer. For the coldest days, I like to sit in a ground blind so I can wrap up my feet and legs in a big wool blanket. ;) |
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
Thats not cold. It's been 7 degrees here the last 2 mornings.
|
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
pshaw!!! We have been waking up to 0 degree weather here in North Central Kansas the last couple mornings!!:D
|
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
I second that pheasantfanatic. We were hunting pheasants the other day when it was 3 degrees here in NW Kansas. Kept the birds sitting pretty tight and we had a good time.
|
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
Yep, can't beat that kind of weather for pheasant hunting!!:)Where are ya from, frog???
|
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
It's funny what peoples perception of cold is. Besides hunting, I work outdoors at times and now anything over 10 degrees is decent!
|
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
That sounds like a heat wave to me. Yesterday was nostril hair freezing kind of cold. Minus one degree. Fortunately there wasn't any wind with it or it would have been real ugly outside.

RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
It was cold here in Virginia this morning--20 degrees with the wind blowing is cold pretty much wherever you are.
|
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
I live in Quinter which is about 50 miles west of Hays on I-70. Small town with a Dairy Queen and some gas stations out by the highway. How about yourself.

RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
I know guys, up north is sick, I would not survive!! How do you guys do it?? Im used to going bass fishing the weekend after deer season, not kidding at all, caught 10 bass last year on Jan 12th on The James River and kept catching them every trip. We get cold days. for us it is cold at 40. Typical Jan and Feb days often reach the mid to upper 50s, water temps on the river run 43-56 deg. any given day. keeps the bass biting all winter.

RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
I tell ya what.... When I was an Ironworker, I pulled a job in Harbor Beach, Mi. in February. Hanging steel, 10 hours a day and it never broke -30 with the wind chill... That is minus. I aksed God to take away the cold for a week straight and I would never complain in the summer when it was 100 LOL.
|
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
It got down to 15 here last night, wish it wouldve done that a month ago. Now that the season is out, it gets cold enough to get the deer moving.
|
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
Hmmm You didnt have the thermometer upside down did ya?
ORIGINAL: virginiashadow It was cold here in Virginia this morning--20 degrees |
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
Big warm up coming. It's already up to 17 at 8 AM Now they say we'll be in the 50s possibly on Monday. Dad nab it. We need ice for fishing. We're going Sunday come hell or high water. My buddy is hitting the ice today.
|
RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
I thought it was cold when it was 8 degrees here the other night, until I talked to a guy from Michigan that told me it is not really cold until you hit 20 or 30 below. It made me say thank GodI am from the South. I thoughtI would add that the high for Monday is 70. :D

RE: Not used to cold weather!!!
