Blizzard on LI

[BizCT]

Going to be -8 (not counting wind chill) Saturday into Sunday. 13 straight days under freezing means ice fishing. I’m not happy since I don’t ice fish anyway I would rather more fish (trout) in the local reservoirs in the spring.

Here’s a pic as of 345pm. Wind still howling. I’ll be praying Sunday my pipes don’t freeze. Might leave water running over night.

Is there a bar within walking distance ??  That's my favorite place to get stranded...

They have plows but not equipped well enough for decent snowfall in the amount of them. 

I don't think so. They do a great job on all the roads and use some heavy equipment. HellI was in Northport this afternoon and they were trucking out the snow on main street with backhoes and dump trucks. We get it done !

round 2

it stopped snowing here in Suffolk county,but the wind is still ripping.I could barely tell what I did this afternoon. Hopefully I don't have to do this before work tomorrow.

We have plenty of heavy equipment with some big plows to get it done down here. I've been going since 6am. This pic is one of the harder spots to keep clean. There is open a farm field on the left and the wind whips in right off the sound causing some pretty big drifts in the road. Once the snow stops, the town clears this spot with a giant truck mounted snow thrower. This pic was taken at about 1:45 this afternoon. I was not plowing this road, but just using it as a turn around for an adjacent road.

this is going to screw up the shotgun season for a while here.

I don't think so. It'll be windy and cold for the next 2 days and when it opens on Sunday, they're going to be very hungry and easy to track. Not to mention probably herded up pretty good. Aside from having to trudge thru the snow,, I think it's going to be a pretty good first week.

Here's a vid from Staten Island today during the storm.

Be safe everyone. Snow is a hassle, but sub-zero temps and high winds can kill ya.

It just goes to show you that even even on a windy nasty day, they still have to feed. And it's usually somewhere out of the wind whether it's in a hollow, behind a house, or anywhere that there is a lee.

Made it back to Westchester last night from Queens.....Everything was closed so no dinner.Drive was slow no one on the roads only took me a bit over an hour.....

[NonTypical]

26 hours of plowing. I'm done. I officially hate snow now. 

[ny hunter]

I can't wait to move down south....A few more years and I well be done with snow !!!!!

Whats up with the tag?

No hunting in Staten Island. I’m no expert on that area but I believe it’s overpopulated with deer so they catch the deer, tranquilize them, and sterilize them. I’m assuming they also added the tag

Ah Ha.......Now I get why I saw a dead buck just over the Varazano bridge a few months ago with a tag in its ear #440.

Yes, i have a friend that witnessed DEC or a state agency where they would tranquilize bucks, sterilize  them and then place an ear tag. This method does not seem to be working as the population is still increasing. Besides theres always  unsterilized deer that venture over from NJ.
