Please tell me where the old time winters are then? The kind that froze the ground the first week of Nov. and keep you by the wood stove to the middle of March. I am tired of this cold for a week, warm for 3 weeks

Big Daddy. Global warming is hardly a myth. It is real and it is happening. It has nothing to do with the left wing media. What would they have to gain from this "myth" if it really were made up? There are always normal fluctuations in climate i.e. warmer/colder winters than normal. But overall annual tempuratures are rising and it is affecting our climate. We need to do something about it instead of pretending it's not there before it causes too much damage to the wilds, lakes, etc that we all love to hunt and fish in. My two cents.

There is no factual information saying that warming trend we are seeing is not a normal flucuation in the earths temp. The earths temp has never been static, it always changing. Why do we think that we can do something to make it stay the same?

This global warming thing is only an unproven theory.

Not so sure about the global warming thing myself. Up here in the LOTW area it's mid 20's and snowing pretty good. Fished Morris point this afternoon and I'd say we got about 5-6 inches anyhow, and it's still coming down.

Oh, oh? I probably should have kept my yap shut! Just goofing around, don't want anyone to get their undies in a bunch...you can catch my take on GW in the Outdoor discussion and agenda thread...a "quirk of nature", hows that?

Why turn this thread into an argument over whether or not something is fact or fiction? What I'm wondering is how this rain and these 40° temps are affecting the ice. Is it still going to be safe? Or do I have to wait for another week of freezing temps?

Nah, in my opinion, it would take a he11 of alot more rain and warm weather then one days worth, to degrade the ice past the point of being able to walk out safely on it, but a guy might fall on his arse, even with cleats on (Unless they are the really good kind, which I don't own, just the cheapos).

We had some cold weather and no snow, it made some good hard ice...alot of the lakes have people driving on them, especially further up north.

I was on Ann on Tues. and I was driving my 4x4 Ranger Excab to the spots? There were some of the anglers in full sized trucks out there, must have been 12 to 14 inches of ice?

Down here it should'nt hurt foot traffic, be that as it may though, I won't be doing any driving on any metro lakes until I see others doing it and we get some cold weather again!

Duffer, there will always be those that will run with the rederic and say that the sky is falling when something out of the ordinary happens that fits there political agenda.

What really makes me laugh is when they think that mankind can stop mother nature from doing what she is going to do anyways grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif even if it is a myth!

This is poor timeing on her part thou. Sure hope that there isnt 4 inches of water on top of the ice by this weekend.

You guys just have to drive 4-5 hours north and you'll be content. I made the trip up to my parents place last night in the fog/rain/ice/yuck to wake up this morning to 20-30 mph winds from the northwest, 6 inches of snow last night with 4" more on they way, and 6 degree air temp outside right now. Talk about a night & day difference in weather.

I was planning on pulling the permanent up to Red Lake tomorrow morning but with that wind and the ice on the roads, its looking pretty bleak right now.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      By Wanderer · Posted

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
