Is it time to go ice fishing yet ?
It's cold out here

Geeez I hope not. Bad enough walking into the big box stores before Halloween and seeing decorated Christmas trees.

But then again, Christmas begins at the North Pole and muup north water do become solid really realy early so.... why not, as long as younz keep the cold stuff muup there, for a couple more weeks.

We got about 4" of snow from the first blast overnight, followed by short burst of lake effect.

Ground is still quite warm so the snow is quickly melting away on the roads, sidewalks, and my driveway. The porch and deck however, are a pain in the asz keeping the snow cleared.

Right now I'm thinking.......it's time for a Snickers Bar!⛄

Be safe everyone.

Just came back for lunch. Deer moving good today in this nasty weather.
I'm very leery about pulling camper tomorrow and sleigh riding down the mountain tomorrow. This road never gets salted, only sanded.

Better safe than sorry Rich.

We just took a ride down the mountain. I don't know, its frozen road with sparse sand.
It might be locked in for winter. Wife will be pizzed, mice happy but I would survive at least to see another day

The last couple days there are 8-10 deer camping out behind my house some times a couple buck show up to check if they're horny then when the doe show no interest the buck leave to find some "hot" ones.I used to sit in a stand to see this,but now I only need to look out the window

We got 3 to 4 inches from the storm and some LE expected tonight. Up north got more like 8. I have been made whole again as the folks from Temple forks replaced the end section of my pole after I LOST  it and redid ALL the eyes and guides. Cost $35 plus $10 shipping but well worth it . Turn around was 10 days and they are in Texas.

It's coming down hard .......

Just starting here. I spent yesterday and today moving lots of things, junk truck, camper, 2 off road vehicles and a trailer outta the way so I can plow. Also stocked the house with 2 weeks firewood.
Wife, kids and grandchildren are supposed to fly to Florida tomorrow 🤔.
Thankfully they're getting a sweet hotel near airport today so I don't have to drive them at 3am tomorrow.

Hunker down and stay safe folks

Yea I am as ready as I'll be. I did asphalt killings on the driveway and I'm sure I will have a mess in the spring. Tractor is moved inside, plow is fixed and under the shed roof. Chickens are out away........
