Halle had been at work all day yesterday she made it home just after 9pm Chris worked from 1pm till 8pm
You can still see their tracks in the snow but they are filling up fast now.
We are suppose to have blizzard like conditions today.
March 20th 12days away Come On Spring
I've been watching the weather channel in disbelief. Some of the places getting snow that's never had it on record !!!!
So far all we've got is rain, besides the flood watches all is good. I'm tired of shoveling so the rain is a good thing imo.
Side note: I've noticed the migration back north has started as well. Just had the dog out and could hear whistling wings coming over the house through the fog. Got me all jacked up !!! Think I'm going crow huntin in the rain.
Couldn't agree with ya more Bill...I'm sitting here waiting for my partner so we can drive two hours in this nasty crap to go qualify. I thought he just pulled up but it seems that was lightning during a snowstorm :confused: I don't get it...I thought that was called heat lightning - where's the heat :shrug:

Same here Bill !! Had thunder and rain at 5:30 A.M. Now snowing,calling for 3-6in. Come on Spring :shrug:
Snowing like a son of a gun here to, freezing rain all night last night. Bad part is I am packing the truck now to leave for Parkersburg, WV. Its going to be a long ride!
They have rain there now, but what we are getting now is headed there way. I dont look for a very good turn out tonight. Forcast for there says 5" today and tonight.
See you all in a couple days!
Brent

Becareful Brent I was gonna come down but this weather changed my mind
Drive safe Brent, keep it between the guardrails !!!
Well, just got the call, the seminar has been canceled do to the snow storm and roads being closed.
Brent
Looks like home sweet home to me :yoyo:
Look at it this way, Spring's just around the corner. I'm not sure which corner :confused: But it's gotta be there.
Nothing but rain here in Pa. so far. The creeks are already full, there will definately be some flooding.

This has got to be Ole Man Winters last licks, hope you have a blower Bill or a young boy willing to shovel ya out.
bootmud, we're still getting the rain up here in Susq.Co. as well. Hope it stays rain !!
Brent, least ya didnt have to travel in the slop. I'm never worried about my own driving, I'm always worried about
the other drivers out there that take risks.
I agree, it would of took me 5-6 hrs to drive 3!
I think I will spend the eve with the wife and kids!
Brent
I don't have a snow blower or a young feller either and if ya was gonna shovel this driveway out ya just might want to pack breakfast,lunch,and dinner :roflmao:
Yes my drive way is a about 1/4 mile long
Hay Bill , What are you going to do when winter does get here! :laf: :laf: :laf: :laf: I have been down yer drive way a few times and don't believe Nobody is going to shovel that one ! Stay Warm and in the House Boys!
I was really looking forward to Brent's seminar, but I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt trying to get here. I just came by the WVU-Parkersburg campus at about 4:00 PM and it was still snowing. The wind has shifted around now blowing from the West and drifting snow across the roads where they had been cleared off an hour before. It's really nasty out. I called one hunting buddy of mine to let him know about the cancelled seminar. His wife told me he was out coyote hunting in this mess. He is still recovering from the flu. Now that's a dedicated coyote hunter! I think I'll follow Brents lead and just stay in this evening. Maybe watch Brents video again. Hope they can reschedule the seminar. I know a lot of us were looking forward to it. Stay Warm. Stay safe!
Jim
ya got a plow on somethin ???????????? jepers creepers !!! 1/4 mile I couldnt shovel for sure, even with all the training mother nature has giving me this year.
No plow either.I am probably gonna have to hire it done,but everyone is so busy,by the time I could get it plowed it will be run downand hopefully starting to melt mother nature put it here so I will let her take it away :laf:
Quotemother nature put it here so I will let her take it away
Amen to that, I've tried it, but if she drops below freezin at night, you're in for a fight indeed !!! :innocentwhistle: :wink: :biggrin:
The Temp was 24 when I got up this morning and it is 24 right now.The temp never moved this is just crazy
I woke up to a balmy -22 F this morning. No new snow though. It must be the global warming. MI VHNTR

You tell 'em Jim! :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
I am worried about the woodcock already nesting here on my place. She had four eggs last time I bumped her.It was a total accident I found her nest. She just happened to put it in the fencerow and the storms we've had the past few weeks have played heck with te fences. We had enough to completely cover her up if she stayed put. I will check her from a distance in the next few days and see if she made it or lost them. Jimmie
We got about 10 inch's here in central Kentucky with rain sleet and freezing rain
Looking forward to April 12th Turkey season :bowingsmilie:
Any news on the woodcock Jimmy ? If she did loose them, do they lay more than once ? I'll have to do a search on it.
Knowing nothing about these birds but realizing they are a couple hours south of me in Kentucky,, Isn't it still about a month early for birds to lay eggs?? :shrug:
I haven't checked her yet. And as far as I know it is at about this time they are usually doing their mating rituals. I heard the males in late february when we had some warm day's. I've know there have been as many as three diferent mated pairs here in the past but this is the ifrst time I ever came up on one nesting that I knew of.
If she is still on them , they should hatch in 3 more weeks I think. Jimmie
Thanks!! Just wondering out loud. :wink:
And I wondered what that noise was :laf: :innocentwhistle:
Just hecklin ya dude
I get this :doh2: when I think too!! :roflmao: :roflmao:
She was sitting tight and pretty today. She is hard to see with the cover and her natural cammo. Thank goodness for the big black eye of hers. Now we just wait a few weeks and see if they hatch after all tey have been through. Jimmie
Thats pretty neat, thanks Jimmy. I'm always amazed how mother nature works.
