must be a storm brewing....

I drove home last night and with in a 1/2 sq mile of the house I counted 18 deer out on the move and feeding in the fields....just down from the drive a big doe and 4 smaller fawn crossed into our pines...I wonder if she "collected " some orphans or had 4 last year...I've only seen that one other spring/summer here...the doe was skin and bones but the fawns were healthy looking at the time and made it through to fall..

4-6" in wayne tomorrow. so over this snow...

They know the sequester is coming!!!HAHAHA

I listened to the trees last night ...they sounded like glass ball barrings rolling every time the wind blew.....This morning a sheet of ice lay over the snow covered ground and I have watched as the ice builds up..... lowering the tree limbs in a light misting rain...We are due to get another 2-4 in. of wet snow on top of this....I'll be moving the car to a more open space from trees and clearing roofs and boat & tractor covers later...Everyone drive carefully today.

PS ...just as I posted this...the snow started..snow big flakes and fast

I am in monroe /genesse been snowing here for over an hr

[growalot]

Paula did you guys get the freezing rains ?

[Paula]

we had rain and sleet but did not freeze. I was outside 615 this morning and it was not really that cold

[growalot]

Not a good situation...I had a young buck on the trail plot yesterday with a very swollen ankle...limping bad....add a layer of ice over a few inches of snow..then snow on top of that...the wild/domestic dogs and yotes have a very big advantage.....

[MACHINIST]

lots of wind in Fulton,little snow

[Five Seasons]

big heavy stuff now

[growalot]

Wow ...any body in this stuff..DO NOT HAND SHOVEL...I want to see your deer take next year

Just clearing the car...boat and tractors was rough...This stuff could make killer snow /ice balls....and it's like walking through a slurry of partially set concrete....Temps quickly went up to 36....Snow changed to rain and a ground fog crept in from the valley floor

Just be careful out there
