Here in eastern nc, its 17 degrees, winds 15 - 25. Snowed last night and will drop into the single digits tonight. I'm going hunting but, I'm wondering will they (deer that is) be moving early or late or just get hunkered down.
2 cold fronts came thru yesterday and now tomorrow a warm front comes in.

I hunt Illinois alot during winter , it seems to me that deer still move in the cold alot , however the rumor has it that there since of smell is better in the colder temeeratures.

Being from NC all my life (central), I have learned that on really cold days, the deer stay bedded til it warms up a tad in the mornings. They are smarter than us hunters[&:]. This huntress does not hunt when it is below 25 degrees as it is useless here til about 9-10 a.m.[]

Good luck this last week of season!!

blowing snow, cool( not even close to cold temps, lol) outside, coldfronts? find the thickest patch of woods, and stillhunt it, that's where they will be, and the most likely will stay there until the wind lets up. snow isn't much of a concern for them, it's cool to track them down on those days. fronts like you spoke of should mean movement to food sources just before and after they come and go. sounds like it should have been a couple of nice days to hunt.

Im sure that the cold will have them moving around alot.
