[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2218189, member: 91783"] Knock on wood we haven't had the long cold spells that we used to have , for a while now . At one time we would see from one to two weeks of below zero and in 1981 we were below zero for the whole month of December and got to 40 below for a couple of days . It seemed like all the animals were on the move for at least 2 days before that event . I had 54 acers at that time and when the spring thaw came I counted 125 dead antelope on it . We got over a foot of snow the day after Thanks Giving that stayed till the April thaw . The south facing hill sides got above freezing only because the sun shown on them and then only where they were protected from the wind . It's pretty common now to be good calling a couple of days before a hard storm and then as Reemty and others have said after it has dumped it's moisture even if it isn't very deep snow but is still cold they will be on the move . At this time we are running about 15 degrees above what we normally do this time of the year and the grass we got here is starting to burn up . Two nights ago we had wind gusts of over 70 mph , good thing it wasn't during the heat of the day but we are having winds of 20 - 40 mph during the day . With it getting so dry I have to be very mindful of the fire danger when driving and shooting ect. . [/QUOTE]
