To all my northern friends .......
 

.......your weather is down here in my yard drunk. You need to come get it and take it home.

But, please come back down in March and join us at Sparta, GA for the Old Hudson Side-by-Side Shoot. We promise to do everything in our power to ensure the weather is more agreeable than it is here this weekend! Wind chill tomorrow morning is supposed to be 9 degrees. :shock:

You can't appreciate the warmth without an occasional taste of the COLD!

Well now you know how we feel in August when you allow the 98 degree,100 % humidity air to escape to us. Only returning the favor. I always blame it on my granddaughter in S.C..

One good turn deserves another

I beg to differ, Stan. What you got was the pushy neighbor. The unwelcomed guest is still here, up North.:)

Garry until reading your posts about weather the last few years i thought of your area as a ''southern '' state. I was obviously wrong. Your photos remind me of the winters we used to have 20-30 years ago.

Daniel (and Stan), North Missouri has prairie weather and is subject to wild temperature swings. I’m a Southern Boy at heart and still get disconcerted when my nose hairs freeze when I walk out the door. :rotf:

We haven’t cracked 21 since early last week. Someone didn’t take enough of this cold air down to Jawja!! We don’t have much snow which means not any ice either. Just cold and windy.

We have not seen above freezing in a while Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday low single digit high yesterday 13, I feel for you guys up north! Snow still laying around here but thankfully not much, The wind is a big problem high wind warning here on the mountain, Gary

Gotta scare the masses with some kind of catastrophe!

Nothing like sitting by a 🔥

If the “News” media didn’t invent these and expound on these wearher, political and social catastrophies they wouldn’t have any reason to exist…

…hey, wait a minute, so we really don’t need the news media after all do we?!?!

I've a friend in Hamilton, MT, with whom I talk every so often. He said they missed hitting the record low there by one degree a few nights ago. It went to -37 degrees. Record was -38 degrees in 1956, as I recall him saying.

I'd have to close off the vents in several rooms of our old ca.1875 farmhouse and only heat two or three rooms if it got as cold as y'all get.

That was often the case in the old days when folks heated with wood. Some going through 20 cords or more in a heating season.

Crazy weather all right. I think I found your warm weather. Up here in central Canada a bit north of Winnipeg our continental climate would often mean around 40 below this time of year. The forecast for this week is around 32F for the day time high. Next week it will get as high as 41F day time and 34F for the night time low. Barely got the outdoor hockey rinks' ice in and they'll be trashed after that.

We had a high of minus 6 about 5 days ago. Today it's 36. Nothing abnormal about that here on the edge of the prairie.

Check out John Madson's Where the Sky Began and you can read some of the accounts of incredible temperature swings in just minutes on the prairie. Fascinating stuff, and fodder for current discussions of, as is trendy to call it now, "extreme weather."

What Stan says.

Put some wood in and it gets nice and warm and toasty.

Unfortunately, our leaders (?) would like to ban them. Boo Hiss!

I like the ingenious wood box expander and the Colonial humidifier, you must be one of them there engine'nears.

Yup. An ungunear would notice that!

Our psychotic weather did it again! It was freezing for a few weeks through Monday 1/22. A front blew in carrying a lot of rain and naturally warmer temps. It rained just about all day and night Tuesday and Wednesday 1/23-24. That got rid of the ugly white stuff. It’s been much warmer since with a high of 58 on 1/26!! I like that!! “They” are calling for above freezing temps for the next two weeks. March will be here soon (not wishing away time) and the light at the end of the 6 month NEPA winter will be getting brighter!!

Mike, you're right, the weather in NEPA has been tough. We had to cancel our annual ice harvest in Tobyhanna on Millpond #1 for the second year in a row. Last season we had 10 inches of ice at Christmas and open water the third week of January! Open water again today. Interesting history on the old time ice industry on the interrnet at Tobyhanna ice harvest.

Ice harvest ?!!!!

We be fishing for bream down heah, 75 degrees this aftanoon. :clap:

Ice
 

Stan, We were fishing last week(through the ice). Bass, perch and pickeral. All good eaters!
