    As long as we get the snow to go with the cold I don't mind. I hate frigid cold without snow to play in!

    Thanks for the post thewoodlands and for the caterpillar chart Deererainman. I was needing to know exactly how much wood to pack into the shed for winter. Which will get done in the next few days.

    I think we'll run into the same, maybe not the blizzards but the rain after some snow always makes a mess.

    Well I wasn't thinking before, about with the warmer temps, could end up getting freezing rain and ice storms and that's the last thing I want

    I'm thinking 1998 was a strong El Nino year which produced the worst ice storm I ever saw, this area was without power for a month.

    The bigger the muskrats make their huts the harder the winter will be. Another but I don't buy into this one because of experience otherwise in my hunting days years ago...the more fat a deer has on it the harder the winter.
