For those of you who get warm weather and think there is global warming, just remember not everywhere is warm. The 10 day isn’t very promising either. Looking back on the daily temps, it was Christmas Eve since we last had 40 degrees. Yes, I have spring fever, and there is still 2 feet of snow on the ground, and not much will melt anytime soon.

At least it looks nice outside.

Hopefully we get a fast thaw and all that snow runs into my ponds. I did some cutting for deer beds a few weeks ago and am itching to get back out there. Some of the ROD I cut and put in a jar of water is getting leaves. Going to go cut some more and put it in pots of dirt. 4W if you still want some I am happy to share.

Ya I always worry that the buds will break with the warm weather and then we get a freeze. My trees are all on the shade side of the hill and in a small hollow so it stays a lot cooler.

Well it started. My dog didn’t want to walk in it this morning.

I am not complaining, we were told 15+, we got about 7 total so far. It is nice fluffy snow as well, not the heavy crap we have been getting all year.
But it is the end of February and I do live in northern Wisconsin. But with the 12-18 inches that was on the ground, and that is now all hard packed, and frozen solid, to have another 7+ on top of that, will be hard on the deer here on out.
I have about 10 regular deer in my small food plot daily since I dropped several trees for them, but they have ate most of them. I will be dropping more as soon as I can, I just had sinus surgery last Thursday, so I need to take it easy for another week, then I will give them plenty of tree tops to eat. Just to get my firewood on the ground for next winter, before the sap flows up too much.

We've had about 3" total all year in central PA and it's 70 deg today.
this is awful. Winter, go away! Even Perkins isn’t impressed!

I typically like one good snow so I can take the boy sledding then I'm good with snow and cold for the year.

I like a solid 4-6" snow in about mid March to get those frost seeded clovers pushed in a bit but other than that I think the fewer snows the better...

Come on over and take what you want, I have easy access, and I will even load it for you, all the way around my driveway, 5-15 feet tall.
