Crazy weather. JJ Roberts posted earlier in this thread about the Calgary, Alberta, zoo bringing in the penguins inside because it was too cold. Today at 2:00pm it was +47F there.

As silly as it sounds, they did bring the penguins inside because it was too cold.

I have seen that vehicle before. I think it was during our last snow storm here in western Ga. Think deer Mills.

Last day of deer season yesterday (thank goodness). It was 21 with a 10 mph wind for a windchill of 9 as the sun went down, and I was sitting up in a stand hoping for thirty minutes after sunset.

When we got out of the car to shoot clays this morning it was -7 but at least the wind finally quit blowing 25 mph. It was actually quite nice to be out burning some powder.

Here a few photos taken this afternoon around Falmouth, MA (on Cape Cod for you non-New Englanders). It's been a balmy 12 degrees all day. First photo is of The Nob facing Buzzards Bay, it's all ice for 1 mile out into the main channel, second photo of Quissett Harbor and a third of Falmouth Harbor. Even the Swans are running out of open water. Also saw quite a few ice skaters playing hockey on the kettle ponds.

Finished off the last day of the Virginia gun season with friends in Louisa County Virginia ! At 06:30 it was 2 degrees after the sun came up it dropped to 1 !

We sat the first two hours or so then did man drives the rest of the day . Not a deer was seen just a lone red fox .

Not very positive in the harvest department but that's not why I go there for the last day each year .

I've got a pheasant encounter on the slate for 1/16/18 other then perhaps a venture to the skeet field or sporting course I'm most likely done with guns in the USA until after I return from the South Pacific in March !
