[WNYBuckHunter]

THats what im hoping for as well. I cant get to my trailcam now, id need a snowmobiele or snowshoes. Its close to impossible to get out to the good spots for predators too.

Last weekend it was in the mid 30's at my place and it felt like heaven, haha. It was nice to see stuff melting but now its cold again toady. We have had barns collapsing around home the last week or so, the one we get our milk from made the news on yahoo...we are famous in Northumberland finally!

[Doewhacker]

Is any one else getting snow today? We are up in the 6-12 range and I hope they are wrong.

This morning, yet again the roads were an ice / slush fest.

The Jeep was in it's element yeah yeah. I like it, I love it, but have had enough of it.

[WNYBuckHunter]

We are getting hit pretty good today again. I took my daughter sledding, might have been the last chance we get this year.

[Culvercreek hunt club]

Anyone ever wonder why Alaska has the highest # of suicides by state?

Alaska #1- 21.8 per 100,000

New York- #49- 7.2 per 100,000

Thought maybe there was some kind of weather correlation there.....maybe next year. ???

[Geno C]

could be truth to that wooly

[Doewhacker]

The roads are misserable and they bumped us up to 8 to 16 now...oh boy. at least its going to warm up next week.

rained all dat today washing the mess away.Just gotta get thru march.Lets hope the end of winter is comming.I know we still have to get thru March.But lets hope.

With the amount of snow on the ground here in the southern tier (Horseheads area) we need a slow meltdown - or there'll be flooding galore to the south and east of us.

[G-Man]

Calling for rain this weekend which means more flooding... deer herd had to suffer this winter lots of deep snow,ice layers hard to get to food, neighbor was having logging done, deer just stood waiting for the trees to fall to get at those tender tops. They would only move 50-60 ards away while the loggers were working as as soon as they would leave to take the logs out,the deer would rush to the tops only to repeat when the skidder came back.. I fully expect a drop in antler size this year based on similar years. Even though they made it through they won't have the nessary nutients is excess to start horn growth and will need to replenish their bodys first, doe might of lost a fawn or two as well....

[Doewhacker]

Got atleast another foot from last night to this morning..its never gonna end!!!  :'(  This storm had a mixed bag of crap, ice, sleet the whole nine, it caused a large limb to come down in the back and take out a section of fence. Kinda like a grand finale....

[First-light]

March storms are the worst for deer kill. Reserves running low.

[G-Man]

I left over 10 acres of corn standing for the deer this year and the field is empty since middle of feb... still need to get thru march, deer look good but they must be nutritionally stressed,lot of ice snow pack to get thru and even our two little melt downs didn't help as it snow immediately following the melt,all but south facing slopes have a least a foot or more left. Even if deer don't starve they will be in such a stressed state antler growth and fawn reuitment will suffer.

[FULLDRAWXX75]

I just came in after 2 hrs. of shoveling, we got hammered with @ 13" of sleet, ice & snow mix from 4 pm yesterday until 11am this morning. This crap is little shoveling oatmeal.................................it was in the 50's to previous two days so the lawn and driveway are like pudding underneath this crap. Now, it is 38 degs and everything is turning to muck.

Man I hate these late season storms.

  Way too long & too much snow,  enough!!

[Single_shot]

I wish it were snow coming tonight and tomorrow....the 3" of rain the weather man is calling for, is a concerne for my basement,even though I have a pump...it still makes a mess. I have about 3" of snow here it will melt and add to the mix. This sucks.

[MuzzyLoader]

WAY TO MUCH snow in the hills and mountains around here... with the anticipated amounts of rain coming there'll be more flooding than we've seen in a long time!

I really feel sorry for people in low-lying areas and those living in the Chemung/Susquhanna River basin area (all the way to the Chesapeake Bay).

[ny hunter]

We got hammered with snow in Jan,and Feb.Now rain I hope we get a nice spring.Not go right to the hot humid weather.

[ELMER J. FUDD]

The '10-'11 winter was how a winter should be here in the hudson valley. Just enough for me.
