Ester day afternoon he temps started to fall as the rain came in, then it changed to snow and started to stick on the ground. We got our first measurable snowfall of the season in the Chicago area and 14 hours later its still here and only 24 degrees outside. I am not ready for winter yet.

Winter has set in early around here (Chicago area). Yesterday it did get above freezing but the ground is frozen and most inland bodies of water excluding flowing water has frozen over. The ice isn't solid enough to walk on but is frozen over.


Time to start cleaning equipment, taking batteries out and making our Christmas list and wish list for next season. Then start researching for next year.

Today I took the batteries out of my detectors, pinpointers and headphones and out it all on the shelf in the basement. I have a few more things to out away then will bring one out at a time to give it a thorough cleaning before its completely tucked away for the winter. Winter seems to have arrived earlier in Chicago this year. Time for research and dreaming of warm weather and beach hunting.

Still on the warm side of the front (54degrees) this morning, but falling through out the day. I think today is the last chance for me this year, so I'm going. Going to be in the 20's tomarrow, and for a while......................I hate winter!!

Well see our civil war relic hunting season is just getting started here in Sunny Southern Tennessee. We have been waiting for the yellow jackets , ticks and snakes to go to sleep. Not everyday is nice but we have many days in the mid 40's to mid 50's. You guys just need a change in Longitude.

If anyone decides to come out to Guam where it's 85 throughout the year, let me know. You guys can all help me clean pull tabs off the beach.

Even in S. IL it's to cold to hunt and with the temp being in the 20's the last 4 -5 days the ground is getting frozen. I tried hunting last winter in frozen ground and it wasn't fun. Just to darn hard to get past the 1st inch or 2 of frost. I don't mind the cold because i can dress for it but I hate wearing myself out trying to dig plugs in frozen ground
