Just an added note;

I expect with the amount of snow we have here where I live, and the White River (which I have to cross to get to our local shooting Range),,, well I'll be hard pressed to get any March TMA shooting done this month unless I get very lucky and we have us a warm dry spell... It's gonna be tough.

I know how Russ must of felt last year as he waited and waited for the snow to melt at his Range so he could get some shooting done. It's dis'heartening at best, not being able to get out and do something you really enjoy and look forward to doing... Well, it's time for a nice hot shower and afterwards find my pillow...  Good night all!  :shake

You guys are right! I'm gonna have to start thinking all three; tractor, dog-sled, and snow shoes... Once I get all three of those - I bet it'll never snow again... :laffing

And that might just be worth it!!!  :bl th up

That has pretty much worked for me (at least for the tractor part)!  :lol sign :hairy :toast :laffing

Well, I checked my boat that I've had covered on my patio throughout this past Fall & Winter, and I had a giant ice-cube in the bow (gun well)  that's about 8 inches deep...  Had a leak in the front part of the tarp I cover my boat with - and the bow sticks out about 4 inches from under my patio so I expect that's where the ice build up came from - from the run off above...

Not a big deal however as it's melting and I'm bailing the water out with a cup as the ice melts down. Doesn't appear to be any damage - though my anchor, two life jackets, one black bucket to put fish in (when we caught 'em), and my fishing net, are all froze in the ice a'little bit, but it's melting pretty good right now. We have warm temperatures a coming for the next 10 days - mostly mid to high 40's with a day or two perhaps in the 50's...

I sure as h-ll hope ol' man winter is through with us now...  :pray: :laffing

Good to hear, Rondo!  :bl th up

They are calling for mid 40's Wednesday, then mid to upper 50's after that... This snow ought'a keep melting pretty good.

I swear, if there was such a thing as a land Shark, I'd be it... Every bit of food I get near I seem to eat it, or snack on it when I pass close to it... So far the cat's dish has been safe... I don't like being bottled up like this when I have projects I want to do, but can't because of the weather right now... Well, time for a snack...  :Doh! :laffing :pray:
