So how far south is this thing going to go? How bad is it going to be for the folks up north? I just pulled my trapline and the temps dropped 13 degrees in a little over an hour...

On the other hand, our waterways are mostly ice-free. I just turned on the light in our pump house for the first time all year. What a great fall and early winter we've had.

We've been lucky so far but something big is coming. Can just feel it.

Right now it's 47 degrees and sunny here. That's pretty damn good for the middle of January in New England.

If we get 3 or 4 in he's of snow and single digit temps they don't even close the schools up here. Other parts of the country shut everything down for less.

People up here who believe hamburger grows in the supermarket (okay, not really but you get my point) have little to no understanding that activities like hunting fishing and trapping out food on the table for some families and businesses.

I hope whatever comes that it doesn't affect your trapping and other outdoor ventures too much.

stay warm folks.

I still haven't worn a jacket with sleeves yet.  (lightweight puffy vest - for the win).

I'll probably fish Clearlake and the Delta this long weekend if my electrical connectors ever show up in the mail.

We have a Wintery Front moving into Central Texas starting today.  Our forecasted temps for today are 23-63dgrs with the next 3 days looking like mid teens for lows / high 20's for the highs.  There's a chance of some light rain that will turn into snow flurries Sunday Night into Monday.

Other than this 3-4 day Wintery situation we'll (Central Texas) will have bright sunny days with some days being mid 30's / 60 dgrs days later on this week.

Gotta love these Texas Winters  ;)   I'm not complaining one bit after living in Alaska for 9 yrs. and dealing with those Winters up there  ~shade

We have been looking at negative temperatures here in Northwest Ohio.  Wind chills -20 to -25 degrees.  Bit chilly.

A little extra chilly here in Louisiana, got about an inch of freezing rain/sleet on the ground. Got cold enough before hand that it all stuck to the roads so it's extremely dangerous on the roads since Louisiana has like three people that have ever driven in these conditions and zero equipment or deicing agents to use.

Low's in the teens highs in the 20's for today and tomorrow...

We've shut down our restaurant for another couple of days. It's 11 degrees outside right now, and getting colder. Still not bad as long as you're doing something. And supposed to get better after tomorrow.
