A WINTER STATISTIC

[NY Bearhunter]

What do you mean? All of us guys from up North can drive on ice. Where's the problem? I'll take mud-season over bugs any day Bearhunter. We do have a mean black fly season in Maine, but luckily not here on the coast. We get mosquitoes instead - which sucks (pun intended). Weather update here is:
I'd say we got the full four inched of snow, which seems to be melting fast. About thirty degrees, but plenty of sunshine.

CAN'T DRIVE ON ICE... THESE ROADS HAVE ICE ON THEM FOR WEEKS AT END, IN FACT THEY MAKE ROADS OUT OF ICE FOR WINTER TRAVEL IN THE NORTHERN PART OF MAINE. I, SAY PEOPLE HAVE A HARD TIME DRIVING ON A CLEAR DAY IN JULY MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

YEAH, ITS ABOUT 35, WITH ALOT OF SUNSHINE WITH 3" ON THE GROUND. JUST ENOUGH SNOW TO MAKE A MESS AND TO CLEAN IT UP, NOW THEY ARE SAYING WE MIGHT GET WHACKED COME WEDNESDAY.

IF, ITS WARM IN EARLY BOW SEASON THE MOSQUITOES WILL CARRY OFF SMALL CHILDREN THERES SO MANY OF THEM.

HOW'S THE HUNTING BY YOU...

Just a short footnote:

I put new Cooper STT tires on my truck in October. I was on the road last night during the storm and was very impressed by the traction these tires have on wet snow. These would make great plow tires for anyone in the plow business or otherwise simply looking for a good snow tire.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT THOSE COOPER TIRES, THEY ARE GREAT FOR SURE.

I PRAY THE DIFFERENCE HERE ON THE DITCH THING........SOME PEOPLE RUN INTO THE DITCHES OF NORTH CAROLINA WHILE TRYING TO SHOOT AT A BUCK THEIR DEER DOGS ARE CHASING....AND NOT ALL OF THEM ARE DRINKING BEER EITHER.....JUST SOME OF THEM.


AND THERE IS NOT ONE SNOW PLOW WITHIN 130 MILES OF MY HOUSE....IF THE WEATHER MAN SAYS THERE IS A CHANCE OF FLURRIES WITHIN 50 MILES THEY CLOSE SCHOOL FOR A WEEK

IF THEY SAY THERE IS A HURRICAINE BREWING IN AFRICA....BATTERIES SELL OUT AT THE LOCAL WALLY WORLD

DIDN'T SEE ANYONE LOOKING FOR THEIR DOGS IN N/C WHEN I WAS THERE, ALL OF THE HUNTERS THAT I SAW AND SPOKE WITH WERE STAND HUNTING, AND THEY DID VERY WELL. ON THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT COIN, WHEN I WAS IN S/C SAW AND SPOKE WITH ALOT OF GUYS LOOKING FOR THEIR DOGS, THEY ALL HAD THIS GIZMO THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO FIND THE DOGS, SOME OF THE GUYS THAT I HUNTED WITH HAD DOGS RUN BY THEIR STANDS A FEW TIMES AND WE COULD HEAR OTHER DOGS BARKING IN THE WOODS, TURNS OUT THESE GUYS WERE LOOKING FOR THESE SAME DOGS, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY LUCK GETTING THEM.


PANIC BUYING IS A BIG THING UP HERE WHEN THE BIG STORMS ROLL IN IN THE WINTER, THE STORES REALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE AND RAISE ALL OF THE PRICES...
