DeeDee Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Are you guys getting bombed with snow? I seen the temp. in a few area's. I feel bad for you, but at the same time wish I was in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Crichton Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Dee Dee it is just dandy weather were are having. You know lows in the upper teens below zero and highs not quite making it to 0.And that is down in the cities. I believe International Falls was -42 yesterday morning. Had a few more inches of snow this week, throw in a high pressure system from Canada or the north pole, and it is chilllllllllllly.Hey the bright side teens above zero with a few 20's thrown in there this weekend. A HEAT WAVE>>>>>>>G.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Almquist Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I think its great because it will thicken up the slush just in time for laker fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_icefish_in_my_sleep Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It was a cool -37 below here in Bemidji yesterday, today it's warmed up a bit, only -28! We say it's only really bad when we get the wind with it. Suppose to snow with the warm up this weekend. I don't mind the snow either, just hate the wind. DianaBerrrrmidji Mn.

Sandmannd Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Man it's cold out here. Truck wouldn't start, which turned out fine cause they canceled daycare for my three year old. So now it's Daddy Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinchicks Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Right now we are sitting at -24, with a windchill of -43. All the schools in the area are two hours late, and most churches cancelled activities last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeDee Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 My kids would miss so many days of school if I were there right now. I'm starting to think I should just stick to summer vacations. Not sure if I could get used to it again. I thought I was gonna freeze that first day in NY and it was 30 degree's and its about 35 here.

Iambjm Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 -21 in Eagan - I love winter - but I Don't like this c r a p - this ain't winter its torture - I agree wholeheartedly. I am not really a winter lover, but since I got hooked on ice fishing I can usually tolerate it. This year I feel like I am living in Siberia, not to even mention what my fuel bill has been. If I get by for less than $2000 this winter I will be lucky. So far since October a tad over $1000 and it is only January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambjm Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Aaaahhh, but no mosqitoes, or horseflies. No just frost bite, hypothermia, cars that won't start, black ice on the roads, salt eating away at the cars, falling down on the ice, fuel bills to equal the national debt, etc, etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicada Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Guess you can tell who's glasses are half full and who's are half empty. I figure, when it's -35 and I shiver a lot, it counts towards the exercise the doctor says I'm supposed to start doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Crichton Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 ULT I bet they are ready to go back, and think your crazy for wanting to live up here. Just tell them it will get better and you should get them outside in this weather for a while, so it gets in the 20's they will think "hey this isn't that bad out here, kinda nice".G.C.

Here's some pics of Gary's vehicle and a quote from his email-"This is what can happen at 50 MPH going under a bridge, when snow and ice chunks rain down on you in 1 swoosh, from 40 ft above, from another bridge. It was an eye opener." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
