Richard, I don't envy your winters of deep freeze and prolonged darkness.

Roger that. The darkness is worse than the cold but the two together gets a bit old sometimes. I'm not an avid skier so I just hang inside and do projects. I'm rebuilding a vintage Zeiss petrographic microscope as of lately. We're up to 6hrs of daylight now I think and gaining 7min/day. It will come fast. Spring is just around the corner. This has been about the warmest winter I can remember; it's hardly been below zero by more than a few degrees.

well we got buried here in eastern PA. An honest 30" to plow this morning. Five hours on the tractor to clear my 600' driveway, the barnyard, and help out a couple of neighbors. That I guess is to make up for the very warm late fall and early winter!

Felt good to get out and stretch the legs today.After the temp got above 10 degrees, I headed a little North where the snowfall was only about 6", we only got 10" here at home. Was at a 3000 acre hunting club I belong to--and yes, we own all 3000 acres. No fine double gun hung over my arm, but instead an H&R Handi-rifle in .223. I put in 4 1/2 hrs in the fresh unbroken snow. Saw 3 bucks including a nice 10 pt and probably 20 does. The object of my desire today was coyote, I saw 2, but they saw me first, and no shots were available. An unfrozen pothole/beaver flowage had about 50 mallards on it--mental note to try duck hunting next year.
At home, the wife had laid out a package of walleye, so I made deep fried beer batter walleye. Gee, I wish it would snow again next weekend.
Hope you all have not had too much problems surviving Snowmegeddon.

Geesh Harold, I'd settle for 6-10". Please no more snow. Come down here and see how you would feel about 30".

We had a little snow fall on us during our duck hunt Saturday morning. It is not anything like what you guys north of us are getting, but it added some excitement to the hunt.

Here in the lehigh valley ( extreme east middle portion of state) we received 24-30 inches of snow. Some records were broken. After shoveling for hours, it was time for some bourbon,my pipe, and some perusing of my Parker books.
