The weather the last few weeks has been a tad harsh, even by our standards. Was gonna fling some arrows today, but decided to suck some coffee instead >:D

How deep is it Rich.

Trapper, It varies from one foot to 20 foot depends on where the wind is blowin from, eh? Our "official" snow fall to date is just over 110 inches. The deal around here is the temps near zero, 20-35 mph winds and lake effect snow and wind chills about 20 below zero. Nothin new but it aint let off for about 5/6 weeks now and getting a tad old....usually there will be a day or two where it will get about 30/32 and melt down some but not this year. 8)

That's crazy, were having our worse drought in California history over here. We would gladly take some of that snow. It's gotten so bad that horse ranchers have had to sell there horses to slaughter houses or just give them away becauase there is a major shortage in feed.
-
Say Yes to Michigan!
-
It's been similar in Southern Indiana too. Not that much snow though. Cold as heck though and not letting up. It did get above freezing over the weekend. Took a great walk w/ my 6 yrold yesterday.
Bowman53, I heard that too, man that blows for you all out there. Hope you get some precipitation soon.
-
Glad I can walk barefoot on the Beach down here. ;)
-
Ugh, don't miss that! I'll take the sand, instead.
-
I feel for you, at least we are getting an occasional break down here in Indiana. I went to bed last night it was 43 degrees (had been near 50 all afternoon), I got up to go to work it was 10 degrees, by the time I got to work it was 8 with wind chills at -15.
We have been to a couple of bow shoots so far this year and both have hit on one of the upswings. We plan on doing another this weekend, I hope that trend continues!

Pink fletching and allow about 20 feet for windage >:D
-
Not much better in NW MN. 50 mile an hour winds yesterday. Highways closed down. I have about 2 feet of snow in my driveway right now, and no snow blower...Stay warm everyone...
-
I have been enjoying the dryer weather
when the temps are 0 or below I feel better
I have been outside more in the last 3 weeks or so than I have all fall and winter combined !
Gets a little hard to see ta times with the sideways snow ,but I can't see real well anyway so I keep going
Went up to that state up north for the archery expo had a good time and saw a few friends
Take care Rich , spring will come sooner or later
-
yup, been a real michigan winter...we've had it all; snow, ice, extreme cold, wind, and even all at once, ha!
Be nice to get a break, been cooped up with the kiddos most of the winter - to say i'm ready for spring is an understatement!
Now i wonder what summer is gonna be like... :o
-
Us guys in the UK would gladly trade some of our endless rain for a bit of a dry spell....Rain, rain and more rain with gale force winds tearing up our woods and flooding all around. :-\ :-\

It has been a tougher than normal winter here in Michigan. Last week we had 74" on snow so far and a normal average winter is only 65" for the whole winter. Kids have been off school so much they have to make lost days at the end of the school year.
Today, one county sheriff will have his deputies write a ticket to anyone driving (excluding emergencies) and another sheriff will have his deputies write anyone who winds up in a ditch for driving too fast for conditions. This is really serious weather.
In Minnesota propane went from under $2.00 a gallon to $5.80 a gallon with a 100 gallon fill cap per visit. Here in Michigan it is up to $3.50 a gallon.

We have had some of the cold here in eastern Nebraska but none of the snow. It is extremely dry - a "corn field" fire yesterday forced evacuation of part of a small town just north of where I live. Unheard of in January! We could use a bit of your snow - but I guess it falls were it falls! Stay warm and keep you path opened up!
-
This cold weather is getting old. I was gonna post some similar pictures but, didn't care to spend enough time out side for a photo session. I am ready for spring.
-
doesn't sound like there is much relief in sight.
I enjoy ice fishing but this winter just plain stinks.
fight blizzard conditions to and from work been run of the road twice by people in the wrong lane shoveling and blowing snow every day.
come on july!
-
Rich, LOL be careful what ya wish for. Were gett'n it here in S.C. now. Everybody paying for high heating bills this year!
-
I usually like winter but I'm done! Woke up to -12 deg with - 35 wind chills. I work outside and now when its 15 to 20 deg guys are acting like its spring.
-
No snow yet since December 7th. Some in the forecast though. We shall see....
-
Well thanks, Rich, now it's snowing in Florida with a little sleet thrown.
-
We are still in the freezer, and I'll tell you I would not wish it on anybody.

I love when it snows in the south!

$5.80 a gallon, thats highway robbery. :o

Wow, Rich that makes me love Ky even more. You need a snow periscope to shoot.
-

Bite me ;D
-
Here to Mullet! we just got our roads open after 2 days of ICE and snow,lived here 95% of 51 years here and never saw anything like this! Two truckers were killed on the river bridge when they hit the ice nite before last, what a mess.
-
we finally got a trace of snow on Yosemite Valley. 6 inches at about 6000 feet.

Oh come on now Rich, you must be kidding, that must be photo shop! I say that because, uncle Al, (I invented the internet) Gore says we are having global warming, and the ice sheets, are melting, and the Polar bears are running away, and other absolute Bull Twinkies! According to Satellite photos, the ice sheets are expanding at a rapid rate. The Ships that were caught in the ice, a little while ago, with Scientists, and "Tourists", which the press seems to have neglected to explain why, the scientists were there, and whom the "Tourists" were. The Scientists were there to study, the melting ice sheets, and the "tourists" were reporters who were going to push uncle Al's money making fantasy about global warming, and the melting ice caps. But upon seeing the ice actually thicker, and expanding, and the cuddly Polar bears, returning to their normal hunting areas, they instead fabricated the story that they were tourist, along for the ride to see the polar ice caps, when somehow, they were trapped in ice. Uh, uncle Al, the earth goes through cycles, we are coming out of a warming trend, and going into a cooling trend. It has been this way for Milena! Rich, I hope you get some warm temps soon. I talked to a Friend of mine in Ga., and he had 3 inches of snow, and was loving it. it has since rained, and warmed up and the snow is all gone. My Girlfriend's Sister, and Brother n Law,in Mass., are not having too much fun either.The temps in Thompson Falls, Mt. have been better than the east coast. They are going to get some single digits, next week, and then it will warm back up. It had been in upper 30's to low 40's for the high, and lows of upper 20's to low 30's. There is an accumulation of about 8-10" of snow so far, and they were due to get some rain, so that should melt that, and then the freeze will make for lots of "Mr. Toads" wild rides! We have had some really nice weather down here, a few lows in the upper 40's and lower fifties, and highs in the upper sixties, and low seventies. But it has been raining for the last two days, and is supposed to continue raining for a couple more days. Been long hard rains, and drizzling rain, most of the day. Rained a bit early this morning, but the sun came out, and now it is getting cloudy. Wish I could send some to California, and some warm temps your way. Hang in there, and try to stay warm, enjoy a hot toddy, and enjoy some video's like "Ice Age", or "Jeremiah Johnson". ;) ;D ;D ::)
