Fuc kit I may never fish again it looks like.

Winter storm warning in effect. Totals have been upped to 6-10 for oswego county. I'll wait to see what the look out the window or even better, the "open the back door" forecast :)

Hahhh, only inches bear...lol

Last storm they predicted 8-12 inches throughout three days but we ended up getting two and a half foot in less than 24 hours. The big one before that they predicted up to 6 ft. But it seems Watertown ended up topping off at 32" over a three day period with that one. Just like last Wednesday when they predicted the overnight low to be +3 when it ended up being -24... and so and so on... a bunch of years back Mr g. Was the weatherman for the morning mayor Harry Harrison and I always got a kick out of him changing his forecast from looking out the window. Lol!!! At least he was honest!!!

We have only gotten a few inches from this storm so far.  It is supposed to gear back up in a bit to give us a few more.  South is getting way more than north. Looks like Syracuse is going to get hit  again  soon.   I will not go out and plow until tonight so I only have to clean up once

Coming down at a fair pace again here.   Do not get me wrong this is no lake effect storm and there is decent visibility.  It looks heavy though.

We got about 12". Biggest snow fall this year. Woke up , plowed my place, moms place then headed north where I'm house sitting and plowed my kids place. Now I'm plowing at work.
Jack I agree. I hate snow !! Love winter though .
Going to be a tough drag on the ice this weekend

Just got through plowing.   Easily a foot.   Been a tough day.  First they cancel my appointment at the pain clinic tomorrow.  Then dad's plow stops working.   No power to the controller.   The fuse it was wired to was not getting power.  No time to figure it out so power wire to controller  is just wired to to battery with an inline  fuse to protect  controller  and a switch to turn the power to the controller off. Will figure it out later when the snow is not piling up and I can pull it into the garage out of the weather.  

Well my  rig up worked to get the rest of the drives plowed.   Not having my tester this afternoon or the owners manual I just did it as quickly as possible to get out of the wind.  Seems the fuses I tried this afternoon were for the blinkers and only powered when the blinkers/flashers were on.     I found my tester and dad had the truck in the garage and I tested the fuse that powered the plow control and NOTHING.   It says trailer control in the manual.  I am not even going to mess with it.   I moved the wire to another fuse for cruise (that the truck does not even have) and it worked well.   It will stay there probably forever or until that one craps out.    
 
Neck has been good lately, but my sciatic nerve has been acting up leaving a burning tired clutch leg.  Was supposed to get some new meds to try  tomorrow tohelp with that, but will have to wait.   Been living with it for a while so no biggie.   It gets worse when I am stressed out so just got to take a step back and breath

I hear ya clint... definitely gotta take a step back sometimes. And yes gerry, hopefully jack is OK. But something tells me hes the type to have a generator for emergency situations :)

Was just reading an article on ocean temperatures regarding 2013. They are saying despite the colder trends since 2000 that have skewed peoples thought on global warming, the worlds oceans are warming at a faster rate than ever. With 2013 being a tremendous increase. Kinda scary as they said land on "earth" contributes only 2% of the earths total heat retainage. While water masses retain more than 90% of the earths heat. The chart they showed dates back to 1950 in which they measure the oceans temperatures in units of "joules". Since 1990 the chart has been a steady exponential climb. The article is on the wunderground.com website if anyone is interested in reading it.

Glad everything is going OK down there Jack.   I always seem to lose weigh the in the winter
too.   I have a portable back up genny that I had wired in so I can back feed safely if needed.   Not that big at 5500, but keeps the water running and the heat and lights on.    
This last storm was about 14 inches, snow wise.   Not the most accumulation, but by far the largest water content.  This snow was small flaked and heavy,  like pushing sugar with the plow.  Looks like a small amount of lake effect, mostly for north of us and then the storm for this weekend has been down graded to just a light snow at best.
Sure wish I was on my way to my doctors appt rather than sitting here.   Wanted to talk to them about actually how bad the neck is, and possibly getting on some new meds for the burning feeling.   Was also hoping they could light a fire under the Neurosurgeon and get my appointment earlier.   Hopefully they can fit me in next week.   I just feel bad because now I have to cancel my patients at work for this...........
 
PS 6 below when I got up this AM  now it is up to a balmy minus 3.   

they say ill have power again by monday and i have 5 trees and countless limbs to cut up and clear....all good....more fire wood for the fire pit :)

Keith,hope you get power sooner.If you're
 not getting out this would be a good time to tie up some of those hellgrammites during the day.....spring WILL get here soon!

Bear hope the best for ya bud

I hear ya bear. It is what it is and ya gotta roll with the punches.

Lake effect hovering... Low of 9 predicted. If lake effect comes in it should probably hold true or even not get as cold. But if it stays to the north and clear skies prevail I'm guessing at least zero.

Still not a sizable thaw in near sight. Lower end may ice over to the wall pool or at least the flats until fishable again. Yeah, I'd say a typical winter from my older (young) memories. There may be a chance that many of the winter fish have already come with the higher flows that have been above average for most of the winter. Will they all be up top? Or will a good amount winter over under the shelter of the ice down low??? Either way, I d think some are wintering over down low under the ice.

Clint... you definitely did see that ;)
