For all you watching the snow fall. A nice warm summertime shot for you. This was my first pan with gold at the South Yuba Hwy 49

BRRRRRRRR! Too cold up here to think warm. Got the heat lamp on behind the Sat dish, Firebox full, generator gased up, and makin hourly trips out to the awnings to keep the snow knocked down- "LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!" Homemade Woodstove Chili coming up tomorrow!

Too Late! I went out to run some materials this morning and had to thaw out the sluice. Once I got it going I ended up getting some pretty good gold today. Water was cold so I wasn't moving fast and only did about 4 buckets worth but got about 3 grains worth out of the cleanup so far. Still have one more set of mats to do but I ran out of light.

BTW Aufisher......I'm glad I had my sunglasses handy when I saw that pic. Positively BLINDING!!!

 

[Aufisher]

Cold gold is best ha! Had to break the ice with my rock pick to get my biggest pieces.

Don't feel bad Aufisher, between my 1/2 bald, 1/2 white haired head, and extremely fair complexion, he'd need a welding hood! LOL

Heck I'd freeze my tail off in the middle of the summer dressed like that! Wow I can't even imagine getting to mine in weather like that. Lucky!

Highs here have been in the mid-20º range, and down to 15º currently.
Got the miller table running right behind me, a space heater at my feet,
computer + HD TV..I'm set for winter..

Well as the user name says... I'm IRISH! By the end of the winter I pretty much glow in the dark because I'm so white. I'd never be able to do any "mid-night mining" in Calif because I'd stand out like a lighthouse.

Does that mean we could use you as a lantern then, Jeff?!

 

[Aufisher]

More balding miners! I am in good company!

 

[Hangtowndiggins]

^^^ lol I'm only 29 and already look like mr. Potato head so don't feel bad, at least the ladies dig it haha. Here's what I'm waking up to in pville a solid six inches, I'm ready for it to melt, at least it should get the seasonal creeks flowing!

 

[Aufisher]

Dang! I bet you will still go out. Time to feed the Bazooka!

 

[Hangtowndiggins]

Yea my heart tells me go but the wife tells me no, too cold to sleep in the dog house tonight! Bazooka is definitely hungry, had to throw it in the closet don't want to look at it. Hate to break my 6 Saturday digging streak but is what it is, better safe then sorry!

 

[Aufisher]

That's ok there is always Sunday gold to be found!

 

[jeff of pa]

a dusting of snow & ice hit here overnight after Mid 60's thursday.
Tomorrow night we are supposed to get hammered By Ice

Thanks for the summertime Shot. Hopefully We get an early Spring here

 

[fowledup]

Aw geez, is winter ever gonna end? I can't take it anymore! LOL. Forget all that Woodstove Chili, let it snow, let it snow BS I was spewing earlier. Went out to plow our road and driveway -Tractor broke a belt, been outside crawling around in the snow trying to get it tore apart all morning. Taking a break waiting on parts to get here, then back at it. Let it snow my azz, what was I thinking?

 

[mtau]

20 below with a chill factor of -40. No placer mining here for the rest of this year, but looking forward to next April.

 

[63bkpkr]

mtau, -40 OUCH! Maybe Hangtowndiggins will share some of his chilli with you as -40 is Chilli Weather.

I love the picture of the snow! In fact, I love winter. Time for cross country skiing with only a 60 lb pack. Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells................63bkpkr

Good night Johnboy --
