Great photo. I’m guessing those boxes are yours (they’re too strait to be from a roll off company).

So any of you guys in your AO's get smacked with the cold front being called around here the "Arctic Blast"? Been hovering in the 40's for a while then BAM!! The 20's are amongst us. I know that ain't squat for some of you guys but when it drops like that it's a skating rink around here. Been a fun few days travelling.

So what goes best with freezing weather and wind? That's right. Cold ass Beers n Crabs. Beer, Crabs, n somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 5.56 cases frolicking around the bed. Perfect.

 

[MtnCreek]

A little sleet mixed with light rain this am and calling for 40% snow Friday, but I really doubt that'll happen.

 

[oneshot86]

i dont want to rub it in but its got to be almost 80 and sunny here... 20s, holy shit, i havent seen anything like that in years

This is why we hate you my friend. Last time it was in the 80's around here was right after 1979. lol Damn I'm reaching, but it's all I got.

 

[MtnCreek]

You'll get yours come July/August. :-D

 

[1J04]

Aug/Sep usually. July around this place isn't what it's all cracked up to be. But if July isn't filled with rain like normal we're usually looking at the woods being shut down during hunting season.

Geezus Mike, it's a frickin heatwave 20 miles south east of you.

 

[bogeybrown]

I was out in shorts feeding Splitzilla yesterday, low 70's and humid as balls ahead of the front.

It came through last night and dropped the temps probably 20-25 degrees overnight but it's still raining with humidity over 90%. It says our current temps are mid 40's, but with the damp it feels quite a bit colder. I use my northern woman as my temp gauge; 40's in the North was T-shirt weather for her up there and down here she's laying in front of the fireplace trying to warm her feet.

The power of humidity to make you miserable cannot be overstated.

That is a big time no shitter man. Humidity, wind, and freezing or damn near freezing temps will take the piss n vinegar outta ya pretty quick.

 

[1J04]

I can't really blame the poor bastards I see off the road around here. Hell, I'm loaded for Bear and was still slipping here and there yesterday.

This is why I was asking.

The old Victrola gets wound up a few times during the Christmas season.

My post count is way off too, but I'm not going to bring that up either. I think it's his time of the month (28 days a month).

Did a little varmint calling this evening close to a goat barn on my deer lease. No better way to end the day.

 

[tnichols]

It has cooled off here as well. Just bumping up against freezing during the day, low 20’s at night. Third day in a row of HOWLING wind. Makes shooting tough but I still give it a go. Pic is from gathering data yesterday prior to shooting. Wind speed is in knots. Multiply x 1.15 to convert to MPH.

 

[tnichols]

Aviation and local weather guys on the news describe this as “breezy” . Hope I’m not around when it’s “windy”.

 

[MtnCreek]

Blustery is what you don’t want to see.

I don't think he likes my Christmas lights.........

Watching and listening to Rebecca play Christmas music on her piano.

 

[aac_shooter]

Rare occasion, got a few inches of snow in the Texas hill country.

My son loved it. Probably going to pull him from school tomorrow to hunt.

Good for you! School can wait a day. Hunting in pretty country with his dad? Memories for life.

Guess I was wrong. Good news is I have a snow ghillie. lol

 

[powdahound76]

My parents let me skip school a lot of times. My dad and grandad always used the line "I'm not letting school stand in the way of your education."
My kid will get many opportunities throughout school for the same.
Good on ya!

 

[kill_zone67]

Good for you! Make great memories with him!

[Tucker301]

Did the VA Beach run again today. Hoping that's the last of that for a while.

Got home around 3 to wet snow just starting.

Promised my neighbors (Riley's folks) I'd feed the animals for the weekend while they were away.

Got that done and settled in for the rest of the day. It looks like this might be one for the books as far as pre-Christmas snows in these parts.

SQUIRREL!!!

 

[Foul Mike]

All I see is that Tucker has a great PLACE TO RIDE DIRT BIKES OF ALL KINDS.
Sorry, I took Cap lox off, I hope he has lox as well.
Let the planning for the PARTY begin. Let your imagine begin.
Full lock slide going SIDEWAYS, for me.
Tucker, I don't believe you have any worries, We are all too old to ever make it happen but wouldn't be wonderful if we could? FM
portapotties and all.

 

[Tucker301]

Ha ha! I need more movers practice.

 

[tnichols]

Great weather Tucker! I like it

LOCAL'S ARE CALLING IT THE LARGEST COYOTE "EVER"
​

:Local folk lore be damned", said one innocent bystander gathered at the shin dig. "That Yote's been causing problems forever", said another. "Good riddance" said Cattle Farmer Bob. "That there damn Yote's pulled down better part of my herd. Even took Betsy. Betsy was special. (I'm just gonna throw in one of these (") quote marks thingy's real quick cuz it just feels like it's time)", Bob continued with "Betsy could really give ya the goose bumps when she wanted to".

Ok look. I dunno if this beast has taken out literally 100's of cattle, on it's own, in the dark, wind, n rain. I don't know. But neither do you. So don't judge. It very well could have.

What I do know is I really like the handiness of packing my homemade AR around.

143 yds. "Almost" missed. Went for the headshot and just about brushed it's teeth. Bella isn't particularly impressed with an animal she loves to chase when it just lays there.

 

[MtnCreek]

Tucker, I’d say we set an early snow record here. We were supposed to get a couple inches and ended up with 6 or 8. All fun till the power went out a little while ago.

 

[aac_shooter]

Got a double this morning. Still a little snow on the ground from Thursday night. Rare in the Texas hill country.

And to think, it hasn't been to long since you popped your AR cherry. The dark side is where all the fun is.

great job guys, great pictures

Them biguns is simple.
Nice job and pretty Yotes brother!

 

[1J04]

Actually watched a little news. Some ya'll be geet'n pounded. Dayum.

 

[aac_shooter]

We got 4-5” of snow where I was hunting, on Thursday evening and Friday morning. Just a little outside of Boerne, TX.

[bogeybrown]

As with aac_shooter , we got some very rare snow down here on the AL coast last night. It was a legit snow (for these parts) for about 5 hours and most unusually it hung around overnight. Unlike northern snow, it was polite enough to melt off this afternoon.

I even cooked a steak in the fireplace, just cause I could


And aac_shooter, that stretch of paradise out around Bandera, Boerne, New Braunfels is the prettiest area of Texas I've seen. I loved that part of the Hill Country.

 

[Major Wader]

I'm a Georgia boy now, raised in Alabama, but I LOVE Texas and Texas hunting. I'm out there every chance I get.

 

[oneshot86]

dang bogey, what the hell is that white shit

 

[tnichols]

Great job on the yotes fellas! That little dab of snow will be gone quick for ya’ Bogey. Like the fireplace cookin’! You’re getting a nice stash there to!

 

[powdahound76]

It was 65 in Denver today....

On a good note I fixed my girlfriend's fridge when she was freaked out she was going to have to buy a new one. She was so cute worrying about me taking care of her stuff and when am I going to get to my stuff. I smiled, kissed her, and told her that her stuff is my stuff.

 

[2ndamendfan]

Barely been above freezing (35) last 7 days, looking like at least another week. 15 degrees right now. In January we usually have a 2-3 week spell where it never gets above 30. Weather inversions are a hoot.

 

[Tucker301]

The sun should return today, but we enjoyed this little weekend snow.

 

[Tucker301]

Just a great Virginia weekend here!

We wandered over to Farmville again yesterday and bought more stuff, including this print that caught my eye, because it very much reminded me of my grandparents' place near here.
Next snow maybe I'll slip over there and snap some pics of it.

Lunch at Charley's again. A cup of their famous chili, a nice ale, and a turkey panini (Italian for sammich, Larry).

Buttercup is growing quite fond of the sound of my Polaris coming up the hill. She's the neighbor's cow I'm taking care of while they enjoy a much-deserved vacation.

The electric fence controller was covered in snow and ice, so I peed on it to thaw it out.
