    Snow,snow and more snow

    we have been getting pounded by a snow storm every week for some time now
    it makes getting out to shoot and hunt more difficult
    I have my own range and it does not get plowed so I have to count on my 4x4 to get me back into the woods to my range though the snow,been stuck twice so far.I carry a snow blower in the back of my truck to clear snow and a set of tractor tire chains for traction if needed.
    testing new loads is getting harder to do and hunting is out of the question at least until some snow melts
    walking for miles in knee deep snow is out of the question for me at this time now when I was younger I would not be bothered so much by it but age changes alot of things
    you all in snow country getting snow?
    I hear global warming is causing this cold and snow

    I am in the same type of boat here in Goodhue county. Don't feel like you are the only one.

    We had a super mild winter with almost no snow until about three weeks ago, then it became every few days we would get more snow.

    About two feet on the ground now. Went out to my range to try and shoot yesterday and it was knee deep and just not worth it.

    I hate off-roading in snow; it's worse than mud and you can get stuck with no warning.

    My dad is having issues down in Arizona and is wanting to drive back with his pickup and RV and I told him he can't get into his house and should just stay put. He won't listen and will be headed back in a couple of weeks.

    Hi...
    Sitting here in the house watching the snow fall in South Central Pennsylvania.
    8" on the ground and the forecast is for more snow and then changing over to freezing rain and then plain rain.

    White eagle, I'm about 210 miles east of Wall Drug, and I'm sick of this every other day snow also. At least the wind blows 45 mph every few days so it drifts back in the places we just plowed out, like the drive ways,cow yards and feed yards. I haven't shot a cast bullet since deer season, and probably won't until spring comes in July

    This year we had about 10" of snow up till a week and half ago. That's 10" in Nov to Feb. Usually have 25 or so up till then. We got an 8" snow three days ago, followed by another 8" last night. They are guessing about anther 6" Friday into Saturday then it might get serious on Tuesday with more snow.
    I guess I picked a good time to retire.

    Climate change will occur between the middle of March and the first of May when it will start to warm and get hot there after.

    Send it my way. We had a 7" snow over Christmas, but since then, maybe 3 or 4 snows of 1/2" and the 7" snow is long melted off.

    Flagstaff is supposed to get 19-25" of snow starting tonight (2/20) through Friday. This would be on top of more than a foot of snow already on the ground. Woo Hoo

    I really do feel for all of those caught up in the snow and lousy weather. My wife and I winter in southern Arizona now to get away from the Michigan winters. We're about 15 miles out of Tucson . . . it was a balmy 32 degrees at 6:30 this morning when I walked the dogs . . . . lots of snow high up on the
    mountains . . . for those caught in the really bad stuff . . . be safe, keep warm and spring Will get here . . . someday! ShooterAZ . . .keep warm!

    We're getting rain off and on today. It's annoying but way better than the freezing rain they were forecasting.

    Freezing rain this morning at 0415 when I left for work. Driving in it sucks. Now just rain, stop tomorrow then rain for the next week I think. Backyard is squishy to walk on and combined with 36 degrees makes for a miserable day

    Spring on the way, just seen a flock of Robins headed north this morning. Usually when they gather like that, it wont be long coming.

    Is spring coming early this year? We have 2 feet+ on the ground and snowing now. The worst part is the deep snow and slush on the lakes. Makes it tough to go ice fishing.

    Yup, it's global warming that's causing all of these low temps and snow and ice!
