    I like M&M's in my Blizzard.

    It's getting a little more serious now. Got my Ice Armor & PAC boots. Headed out in the AM for a swing.

    Got about 18 inches here in southeastern MA overnight. Wind is howling.....lots of drifts. Let my lab out this morning to take care of business. He jumped off the porch and was buried up to his nose in a drift It's supposed to keep snowing all day and night.....3 feet of snow is a possibility here

    That is some low pressure Rebel

    Measured 15-18 in the field in front of the house. Hardly an epic blizzard. Who's up for a hunt?

    That's pretty funny Bri. Glad to hear that people still have power. Would be no fun with the temps being so cold.

    Thanks Rebel. My neighbors probably thought I was nuts out there. Guess we're not done. Been snowing lightly the past couple hours and the wind is kicking up again.

    I've only been out twice in January and on the second time (18th) I managed to find a 1831 LC in a woods. I just went out a little while to put my trash hopper by the road and I literally walked on top of the snow without even breaking through, it's way to cold to be hunting here right now. :D
