OMG it's cold!!!!!!!!

I bundled up today like an Eskimo and went out for a couple of hours. The wind was horrific. But, when you get a nice signal you seem to forget the cold. But, not for long. Did not find much, but got my fix. Hope I never get to the point that I have to find something awesome or I am not happy. I think when you first start you are happy with clad, then happy with the first wheatie, then happy with the first Indian. Then you are Not happy unless you find silver or gold. I still love finding it all.

Don't worry your not alone. Winter for me is the time to clean and research the years finds. Also do some homework and find a new spot when spring comes. Clean and revamp equipment if needed.

I feel for you guys, I see the weather reports and just hope everyone stays safe, I am lucky living in California can detect year round but I don't get the older stuff where I live.

Cold and stupid here.
It was bout 19 here this morn, with wind, and who but me could find himself on a snow covered roof 50ft high!? Got the job done though! ;)
The ground here is frozen less than an inch deep. No problem diggin'. Warmer temps this weekend. Hope to dig.
Stay warm.

I regret that I can't get out with the MD. I'm on some meds that slow my heart rate just enough that I have trouble staying warm.
But, that's not the biggest problem! We have about 3 to 4 inches of snow on the ground, depending where the sun has shone and where the shade has been.
It has been down to 8 degrees for the last 4 mornings. The high for the last three days was 28 and 29. Today it got to 34. It's gonna be a while before much digging happens!
At least the main roads are clear. I went to Boise for a little shopping this morning. Just about everything around is snow covered. Also there was a bit of fog. The trees are so beautiful when they are 'flocked' with fog!
