Uh oh !!! old man winter coming this weekend

Also in N.E. Ohio.. To have snow SAT. and back up to 55 on Mon...
 

Possible snow this weekend in northwest montana. Nooooooooooooooo !!! I want to go detecting, rats.:unhappysmiley:

Right above you in Saskatchewan buddy. I wanted to go out today but it's supposed to be snow and plus 2 C. for a high. I might go anyway. I still manage as long as the ground isn't frozen, makes for a mucky mess though.
 

Ajhh yes…….guess I left the states just in time…...
 

Hey cjrjr507 - Libby is my "hometown" I was born there (we left when I was a wee one) I wanted to ask you how that area is treating you
from the metal detecting standpoint - I remember going back there when I was ten or twelve , and "Libby Logger Days" was going on .
a big carnival if I remember correctly - I'm thinking the grounds where they used to hold that would be excellent hunting .I'm guessing
you're not having much competition from other detector folks in Libby .

Already had some snow here. At 11,000ft. yesterday just snow blowing all day long but not much accumulation over 4 or 5 inches. Maybe 3, 4 weeks til the ground freezes and that's pretty much the end of it for me til about the end of May.
 

Yea you can feel it getting close here in Montana. Gonna be sad till at least April. :sadsmiley:
 

I was just out there cutting down 10 dead locus trees for my heat supply. The wood burning heater is on the way. The splitter is sitting there waiting. I got a late start this season. Frank five star.webp
 

Yes there calling for Miserable, cold wind, & flurries here so far :(

I have my Nieces Wedding to attend So wouldn't be outside much anyway.
But still I hate it !

Gee, reading this stuff about cold and snow……Nov through April…..half a year…….there exist warmer climates…..
Yet there is something refreshing about the colder weather and it's related activities…..

I had frost on my windshield this morning :-(

Days are getting shorter too. My after work hunts went from 4 hours in the summer down to a measly hour to hour and a half before it gets dark. Just a month ago I could still manage almost 2 hours a daylight. I would consider night hunting but some of the parks that I hunt boot you out after dark due to crime problems.

This weekend I'll be cleaning up my woodstove and possibly firing it up for the first time of the season. I have developed a great dislike for cold weather, I can honestly see myself moving somewhere warmer or becoming a "snow-bird" someday.
 

yup winters coming, going to have to wear pants and a sweat shirt more often here in north Carolina

AH yes, the Snow Birds! When I was last in Quartzite, AZ, in January a few years ago, The population jumped from 4K to 300K when the Snow Birds arrived. The place looks like the worlds biggest flea market. You can buy anything there for a good price. Long term camping on BLM areas is $35 a week. Great hiking and prospecting for gold.
