The cold is here to stay, now lake effect snow is coming. Just saw 6-10" predicted for my county thru Saturday night. Then many chances next week with bitter cold. What a week to be on vacation for the mz opener. Bring it on!!!

What a week to be on vacation for the mz opener. Bring it on!!! Fooey on the cold. I'd much rather have 40°F than the predicetd 18°F high temp for next Wed. Now, if I could have 40°F AND 2" of snow on the ground I'd be in heaven. |

All you guys need to hunt a few seasons in North Central Wisconsin. So far north that you can walk to the UP, but far enough West so you are in the lake effect snow belt from Lake Superior. 9 day season, so you can't sit inside on bad weather days. It's usually windy (10-25 mph) and cold (-20°F to +20°F) with lots of snow. We have hunted in 18"-20" of snow... This season has been the best season weather wise in the past 5 years. 20°F temps, 1/2"-1" of snow and 5 mph winds for the opening day. We did get another 3" that night and temps were in the teens, but the winds didn't start until Monday, then they were blowing 15-20.
One year we had to call a guy to plow out the driveway just so we could get to the house. Another year it was so cold that the trees were freezing and splitting in the middle of the night - it sounded like gunshots.
On the flip side, one year we had 60°+F temps starting day 2 of the season and we all were scrambling to get what deer we had to the processors (and most were full) because we didn't have a freezer to put them in if we cut them up.

Happy to give a hand if y'all need some help next year!  Seriously though, what is the real snow condition up there in LaPorte area? Thinking about making a quick trip up for a hunt!? |

Winter storm warning Fri night thru Sat, saying 9" with 35mph wind. Sounds exciting!!! |
