    15 this am with single digit windchill which is pretty cool for this neck of the woods.

    Buddy texted me it was better than -30 with windchill in my old stomping grounds up north with a high of about 0 today

    I have not seen Mt. Washington, but have read articles about it and know it must be very windy up on top. Here today in SW Missouri, it was 20° this morning about 6 am with wind chill factor of -6°. Now it is so windy that it blew one of our old (really old) metal porch chairs off and about 20 feet across the side yard. Temperature is 32° now with wind chill at 21° with a south wind of 17 mph. It has been a miserable day as we spent the day doing some necessary grocery and hardware shopping in town.

    Seventy here, but too breezy for me to cast on the patio, so set some GC's on some 30-caliber boolits, and called it a day...

    Great news, it's suppose to warm up enough tonight, so we can get another 8" of snow tomorrow, and then back to below 0.

    Freezing rain turning to ice, here now. Suppose to get 8 to 10" of snow, and I would rather have that, than this ice.

    There’s all kinds of cold. Dry with no wind, bring it on, -40* no problem. When you add humidity and wind, just around freezing is the worst I’ve ever experienced.

    I am not a fisherman but I see lots of people out there on the ice.
    Never understood ice fishing. Lots of people love it but it is not for me.....
    My handle actually comes from lobstering....I had a small lobster boat and fished 25+ traps in Portsmouth Harbor for many years.
    The old timers always called lobstering fishing, and they called lobsters bugs....ergo fish4bugs!

    Maybe I missed something, but as I understand it, you fellows are sitting on ice, in the middle of the lake, staring at a hole waiting on a fish to bite. I'm sitting in my recliner with a crackling fire, a laptop, and a spirited drink while my fish are being fried and delivered.
    I know I'm old, but WTH????????

    Went thru Gunnison one evening, heading home. Looked at the trucks temp gauge and the engine temp was dropping. ???. Passed by the temp display at a bank. It was -34 out. Poor old 454 wasn't making enough heat to bring the engine up to full operating temp.

    7 degrees this morning and a high of 28 predicted
