    -22 this AM.

    It'd be a lot more tollerable if we hade more than 6" of snow on the ground.

    At least we're making crazy good ice out there... speaking of ice, time to go try and thaw out our waterlines :sad:

    Its been a pretty mild winter so far. We are finally having some cooler weather. Still pretty balmy compared to Minnysoda. Its 17, which isn't terrible, but could do without the 25mph winds.

    I'm not a big fan of winter.

    Sure, but it has more to do with the water freezing. Even the rivers will freeze. This does not make me happy.

    Around 0 here. Potential snow storm moving in for tomorrow. Snowmobilers and ice fisherman now can quit their complaining.

    I was able to pull the ol' man's icecastle out with his tractor the second week of Dec :tu:

    Haven't gained a hole lot since, but there's still a good 14-18 out there last I checked.

    The weather around here reminds me of being the middle of January.

    25 degrees with a stiff wind. Been feeling colder lately, but overall it's been abnormally strange around these parts. We've had ONE significant snowfall this year that amounted to about 6 inches. 2 days later it was gone for the most part with a 49 degree day and rain. Nothing in the way of snow in the near future either. Strange..... really strange.
