So hows your weather?

Nath · Post by **Nath** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 1:05 pm

We are enjoying a cold spell at the moment. Temps hovering just below freezing with rain or sleet and snow for many in the north and east.
I enjoy the cold from a hunting side of things, makes fox hungry and more tempted to a call.
How goes it for you guys?

Nath.

Borregos · Post by **Borregos** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 1:18 pm

Not much snow on the ground here, but some promised for tomorrow. Temperatures a few degrees below freezing today but the strong wind is giving us wind chills around 10 degrees F.

Cold man ... must be 71degF here today. Probably in the 50's tonight.

We no longer have 'weather' here in the U.S. since the Bush administration caused global warming. Hopefully, we'll return to having actual 'weather' after Obama is installed in office.

Jayhawker · Post by **Jayhawker** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 2:11 pm

Looking for a high of 72 degrees here today with bright sun and only a hint of haze in the air. That's one of the really nice things about SoCal.

dr walker · Post by **dr walker** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 2:28 pm

Good luck on the foxes, not that you need much luck. You seem to always bag a few.

76 degrees here today. I picnic lunch every Friday by the river, water was like glass today. beautiful.

Don McDowell · Post by **Don McDowell** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 2:58 pm

Hovered around 12 all day yesterday, got down to -3 last night, Holding around 35 right now (noon) and maybe supposed to get warmer tommorrow and then another front comes thru Sunday -Tuesday, and maybe something in the works about Thursday.
Not much snow this time only an inch or so.

TedH · Post by **TedH** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 3:32 pm

We had the coldest night of the season last night. Got down to 13.1 F. No snow to speak of so far.

I'm out today putting the wire braces on some corner posts I put in the pasture this summer, getting ready to stretch some fence wire soon. I sure like the wood heat in my barn today when I knock off to take a break, darned Kansas wind has ice in it. Rimfire, send up some of that Florida air will you?

O.S.O.K. · Post by **O.S.O.K.** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 3:48 pm

Cold! was 37 degrees F this morning and is 52 degrees right now - overcast. This is winter in central Texas. Usually in the lower 60's or 70's for highs and upper 40's 50's for lows.

Feels good though!

new pig hunter · Post by **new pig hunter** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 8:29 pm

weather is just fine in SoCal, rode home from lunch on the motorcyle in shorts and t-shirt. Nice day, no clouds, bright and sunny.

Cheers,

Sometimes it's partly sunny here, othertimes it's party cloudy.

Cold at the moment! I think we are in the 20's right about now. Best to you Nath.

iceman · Post by **iceman** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 9:16 pm

It has been just below freezing lately. Just a hint of snow here and there. The ground is frozen pretty much everywhere. A little snow cover would be nice to brighten things up and help save hay fields from getting too much frost kill over the winter. There might be a little snow this weekend. Trying to walk quietly in the bush is almost impossible without a little snow. Take care everyone.

jeepnik · Post by **jeepnik** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 12:00 am

Just another beautiful "winter" day in SoCal. About 70° on the coast. Drove home down the Pacific Coast Highway. Saw a couple or Pepperdine co-eds out jogging in short shorts and sports bra tops. Darned, I miss summer.

This all pretty much fell in the last 12 hours.

maroontoad · Post by **maroontoad** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 9:58 am

That all looks and sounds very nice.

Today it was 114 degrees and 95% humidity. I took an old friend (up from down south) hunting and he collapsed at the 3 mile mark, even though I made him wear and drink from 2 camel baks. To add insult to injury, none of the potential game were silly enough to be moving in that oppressive environment.

There are definitely periods during the year when even the most addicted hunters should stay home (I just can't tell when

).

Snow.

Kodiakk · Post by **Kodiakk** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 10:34 am

A 1/2" snow on the ground and about 30* right now. More snow forecast for next Wed. & Thursday. Don't matter much, 'cause I'm goin' quail hunting come h*ll or high-water

.

Old Time Hunter · Post by **Old Time Hunter** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 10:55 am

Never changes I guess...fourth year in a row this what Dec 1st has looked like:

Just finished shoveling the additional four inches of snow that fell last night...and still falling. Trying to get into the woods to do some muzzleloader hunting but getting too tired

Nath · Post by **Nath** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 1:09 pm

You guys have some amazing weather variations!
Sure make me feel how I have it easy here.

Thanks for sharing

Nath.

Post by **Old Savage** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 1:26 pm

Regular late fall - high 30s to the low 50s overnight and 50s, 60s may be 70s in the day. Bright and clear.

Post by **Old Savage** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 1:28 pm

So in Leverland we have heavy snow to 114 degrees and 95% hmidity and all points in between - too bad we can't just teleport to where we would like to be.

KirkD · Post by **KirkD** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 2:48 pm

It's been snowing here just about every day for three weeks straight. It's coming down pretty heavy right now and they say a storm is moving in later today. In the bush, it's about 12" deep. I think it's hear to stay for a while.

Nath · Post by **Nath** » Sat Dec 06, 2008 3:00 pm

Tell us Kirk, do you ever get fed up with it or do you take it in your stride?

Please, the same question goes out to others

Don McDowell · Post by **Don McDowell** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 9:28 pm

Bet she'ld have a hell of a time trying to figure out how to feed cows, and most likely don't know the first thing about cooking in elk camp, let alone guttin an elk she shot.

Huh? Fortunately, I am a happily married man - so she is useless to me. If one was young and single though...

Nath, it has been cold here by local standards (in South Carolina). Low 30's - even high 20's overnight, but getting up into the mid-50's during the day. It was only 36 degrees when we marched in the local Christmas parade Saturday with the Cub Scouts. I used to live in Michigan, and grew up in Indiana, but my blood thinned really quick when I moved down south! This is now COLD to me.

I will contend that 30's and 40's here is worse than 10's and 20's in Michigan. At least up there when it got that cold it it was dry - almost no humidity. Here it tends to stay damp - and the cold just cuts through you to your joints.

Yesterday was -11C with a wind chill taking it down to -22C. Still held our bi-weekly silhouette match though (handgun and levergun). However I only shot three of the four guns I intended to shoot due to severe finger coldness, must be nuts I think.

Well done borregos, can you get solid fuelled pocket hand warmers. We see alcohol fuelled ones for sale over here called "peacock" or "the peacock! I think.

No, not my scene, now if she had cast skillet over a log burning stove in the deep woods..........

Do you really think she would "need" to know what to do with them. I'm pretty sure she could convince others to take care of the snow.

Gday all.
Clear and hot about 38 degrees C which is the high 90's F. Low humidity about 20% with the promise of a crackup thunderstorm in the next few hours. Good drinking weather, no good for shooting though, the mirage on the local range has to be seen to be believed. Thats Australia now that summers here. Global warming you ask, aint any hotter than any other December day in the years gone by. In fact years ago it would have been in the 40 degreeC plus range. In winter here we can go to minus 4 C at night, but the days usually will hit 20-22C . We see frost but never snow in this area.
