Well it's damn tough down here(Florida)our 3rd cool front this season.Gonna be in the 40's tonight with a wind.Had to put a jacket on last two mornings.It's almost 70 right now(3pm).Darn aggravating having to put coat on and take it off an hour later.
Funny thing is we wait for this all year.The weather girl has us froze to death and when summer gets here(next week)all they do is complain.

Well where I am summer is great it was 90 degrees one day last year rest 80's about warm as it gets, But watch out for winter, I am half way down from you northern guys but get blasted with high winds here on the mountain 40-50 not uncommon, and it seems as though this area makes its on weather sometimes, but I like the solitude, but as I get older its harder to keep it all up! Got the equipment! just the old bodys not what it use to be, just do it slower, gary

I love the snow. It's snowing here now in Pawling, NY. I have a friend who plows me out and does the walkways gratis, so I don’t have to bother with it. I like to snowmobile and check on the deer herd. The fields are covered with snow but they still are hitting the sorghum and timothy fields. There are dig marks all over the timothy fields where they dig to reach it.

We generally don’t have any winter kills on the property but if we continue to get snow and it piles up without any thawing, we could have a problem. I hope not. I hate the thought of deer starving to death. I’ve seen it and its not a good memory. You can generally tell if a deer is starving since their hair stands straight out giving them a fuzzy appearance. Also, if you cut into their bones, the marrow will be red and not white.

Although I love to see a snowfall, I’m hoping we get a thaw soon so that the snow doesn’t continue to pile up.
