Is this supposed to be an average winter?

What are you hearing as far as this winters conditions? Very cold, normal, mild?

If anyone here can predict the weather for the winter, I want to talk to you so you can give me next week's powerball numbers as well.

To bad we can't look ahead, hugh?

What is normal? Remember 1994 and 1995, back to back winters that almost wiped out the whitetail deer in northern Minnesota? The past three non-winters have almost wiped out every snowmobile dealer in Minnesota and the whitetail are running us over, I think we are due for a normal winter.

Weather forecasters [long-range]are saying this winter will be close to last year's conditions for snow and ice. They are looking for another el'nino winter - for Wisconsin that it is. We'll see.

I'm hoping we get to ice fish earlier then last year. Makes for a more exciting winter! I'm ready for ice anytime.

Good Fishin, Matt.

Normal Winter? What's normal about our snowy season? If we have ice by X-mas I'm happy,even with all my new to slightly used winter gear I can wait on old man winter. Besides, I have been loving the walleye jig bite thats taking place. I'm hoping to be open water fishing when most of you guys are out blastin bucks!
If I were to wager, I would place my bet on record setting snowfalls this year with all the moisture we've had. I don't know,call it a feeling,but that's what I expect this year. Once the ground freezes good is when I start looking forward to the hard water season.-TROY
