It's 19 degrees here with a wind chill of 3. I believe that is the coldest day we have had all year.

I'm heading out in about an hour

I have the same weather here. -45 with the windchill. And I was out fishing in it yesterday. I was abhle to move around and I still only lasted 2hrs. When weather hits like this its best not to sit facing the wind

SISSIES!!!! I think the coldest I ever hunted in was -20, with a medium breeze, but believe it or not, I really didn't end up getting that cold. I was on the move, sneaking through some woods with a lot of pines in them, and actually got a couple shot opportunites. Deer don't move very fast when it's that cold either!!!! [&:]

Well we got about a foot of snow in the last 48 hrs, but -17 air temp with -43 wind chill right now. The sad part is this is a 2 day high. Cold weather bites!
What a puss !! You've got trees and a pop-up blind to block the wind. Man up and go kill something!! [8D]

I would usualy say that I have no idea what snow is like. Living in LA I have seen it 3 times in my life, and once it was while on a hunt in Texas.

We got some snow last week. 8 inches, look out!
Haha.

Your a better man than me. Like I said I went fishing the other day and lasted 2 hrs. I was free to move around. If I sat in a tree, I don't think I would last more thqn 20min.
It might ound girly but heck when I was fishin I didn't want anymore fish to hit. Everytime they hit I had to re-bait and almost had frost bite every time. DAMN cold
This is the coldest december I can remember. Early november was nice. This, all i want to do is sit inside. Now I wish I had an ice fishing shack

I understand exactly what your saying about baiting the hook when It's cold. That sucks on the fingers!!
