Ice storm.

[Nytracker]

 Teenage girl just took out SIL mailbox coming down a small hill. Mom and dad had to come pick up the car as she was to scared to drive . Dad drove her to work .

While I was outside  I watched town salt truck .. 6 wheel dump truck come down the other  hill sideways.  Back wheels got on shoulder and pulled him back in line ... just missed  guardrail  before the bridge. These were small hills . And they weren't going fast . 

Be careful out there today.  

Chemung county is where I'm at.

I cancelled my trip to the range because i didn't want to attempt driving down the escarpment .

We got ice in cattaraugus county. Accidents all over the fire radio 

[Swamp_bucks]

Ice is starting here waiting for the snow calling for 12-16 with chances of up to 20.

Wife and I just got back from pulling down the 3 ground blinds. (Steuben county) Should have done it yesterday but didn’t want to disturbed our hunt . It is crappy out , be safe guys and girls .

Ice is starting to accumulate here. Just walking to the garage and back was a little adventurous, and that’s on gravel. We were going to have our grandkids from Friday morning to this afternoon. We took them back to Rochester last night to avoid driving in this crap today. I was tired as hell and on the road til midnight, but today would have been a hellish round trip.

My buddy next door is down from Rochester and is currently in a hang on stand at the bottom of a creek bed. He’s a diehard. Me? I haven’t even got dressed for the day yet, and am waiting for football and grilled tenderloins. And no Bills game on today. Oh well, go Bills anyway!

Well now I feel really lazy. I’ve got a hub blind in the bottom of a little gully 200 yds from my living room that I should have pulled yesterday and I don’t want to walk down there this morning. Hell, I’d have to get dressed first.

Maybe later, lol.

Yeah good call, I'm basically due west of where you hunt and my wife said the driveways a sheet of ice,  it's crappy down this way 8n. I'm debating if I should head home before it gets worse.

So glad I pulled the plug on today’s hunt on Friday. Lol. I slept in, the kids and I made my wife breakfast in bed for her birthday. Now her and my youngest are off to church and my oldest and myself are headed out to the garage to Butcher up the Thanksgiving Buck.

Wait til the driver finds out how much it cost to replace a mailbox.

Haha. Poor dad of the HS girl who hit my mailbox had to pay thousands for her car damage and then $600 to me for a new one

That’s why I was glad to see this thread , real time reports from around the areas !  

She’s got to set aside dedicated hunting time ,she sat Sat AM and Sunday PM, opening week end , I’m convinced if she sat both ends of those days she’d have one .

Back to the storm , oh and our friends are going to the Giants game today , should be fun .....

I left Canadice at 6:30am today to get back home......I didn't need to shoot a doe (to give away) that bad that I wanted to monkey with driving home this afternoon in this crap.

Around Rt 98 and west on Rt 20 was terrible, all the way to Union Rd. Got home around 8:30am.  Local roads were bad around here but now they are just wet........

[landtracdeerhunter]

 Windy with grapple coming down and 7 am.. Changed to freezing rain by 8. Came in bound at 10. My orange outer garments were solid ice. Fire arm icle. Great day to be out!

Post and a box, an hours time ,what are you looking at $100-$150 ? 

[Nytracker]

 I did mine for under 200 .... 600 must have been some mailbox you put up. 

[Nytracker]

Full on sleet  a few minutes  ago back to rain ... 

I 86 between elmira and  chemung is closed to all traffic.

Bizzy has all kinds of angles to cover.  $100-150 would be a fair down payment......

Nothing here yet in the hilltowns of Albany county, but the radar shows it's close. About 19 degrees. Forecasting up to a couple feet of snow here before it all ends Tuesday morning. We were supposed to have a family dinner today. Put it off to next week. Just me and Mrs grampy keeping warm by the fire. Will go out and snowblow and shovel after each ten inches or so to keep up with it. No big deal. This ain't my first snowstorm!

 

I need to see a pic of Biz's $600 mailbox!!!!!
