[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2964646, member: 91783"] We are having winds gusting to 35 mph here today they shifted from the southwest to the northwest and the temperature is dropping now at 10:00 AM it was already at 46 but now at 10:45 it'd down to 45. Most of the moisture we get this time of year is mostly a problem not a help. The moisture content of the snow is low, it blows off into draws and drifts, creates slick roads and poor visibility for driving. The cold does keep the insect populations in check. I have seen dry roads in the morning, then the wind picked up snow and started blowing snow across the road, the snow would hit the warmer road surface start to melt and stick to the road as more snow blew and did the same then traffic packed down making it hard ice, and it just kept building up on the roads so by afternoon the once dry roads were dangerous to drive on in several places. Calling isn't something a person would even consider on days like this, and the wind was blowing all night last night and will be for a few days and nights. Making snares that are set the best option for coyote work, providing you know how to set them to keep the wind from closing them or drifting them in and freezing them to the ground. As I have said in the past tilt the lock upward a little so the wind doesn't cause it to slide closed and put the bottom of the loop off of the ground so the animal's feet go under it as well as it not setting to where it will freeze to the ground and helping the snow blow clear of it. Using locks that slide freely on your cable helps them work better when you get heavy frosts on your cables as well as when you get freezing rains or blowing wet snows but not much will help if you get too much of those conditions.
