Woke up to -17 this morning here in Duluth, MN....Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. The dog didn't even want to go outside. We've had a pretty wimpy winter up here and was hoping get an early start on the big pond (superior) but the harbor is refreezing as we speak. Glad I'm going to the florida keys in a few days, gonna try some bridge fishing for whatever swims!!!

8-12" is the forcast for Green Bay area tonite and tomorrow. As long as fishing is out of the question I can't think of a better way to spend the weekend than the fishing show at the arena/expo center here in town. Starts tonite and ends Sunday at 5. Lots of great prices on all the newest toys. Some really good seminars too. Stop and say hi at the Off-Shore booth on Sat or Sunday. Drive careful!!!!!

Same here in Chicago. 8 to 12 expected with more that that west and north of the city. It's not supposed to start until around 6:00 tonight, so I may go out and try for some walleyes in the afternoon at a small local lake. It'll probably be the only chance I get this weekend, with plummeting temps following the snowstorm. Brrr!! -17 below!? I don't know how you folks up there in Duluth can stand it.

Hey Buzzer, the wife and I saw a robin Sunday afternoon while on a walk here in CJ in the 60 degree weather. It was singing its little heart out. I think it will be singing for help come this evening. Crank up the snowblower one more time.

I really can't complain here in upstate NY. There's only been a few weeks this winter that I couldn't get my small boat on the local river. We had fresh walleye for dinner last Sunday! Only two weeks of walleye left and then it's perchin' time. Good Fishing, Sluggo (Chris)

I have six in Northglenn. Hoping for two feet. Wouldn't bother me a bit. It has been such a mild winter that if we don't get some moisture we'll dry up and blow away. Probably end up in Kansas. Heaven forbid.

I have a foot on my porch now and it is really coming down. It started last night about 8:30 and hasn't stopped. My neighbor owns a snow plow business, so he is keeping our street open.
Hiya, boys. I woke up this morning thinking March 1st.... spring, and lo and behold, what did I see at the bird feeder but some red wing blackbirds. Hang in there, it can't last forever :-)
Glad to hear someone has seen them Ness. Cant wait to hear their whistle! Means the fish are getting ready for a BIG spring feed!:-)

Yeah,
I just got back from Tucson, Arizona. The high was 88 F with lots of sun and eventually it cooled off to a high of only 78 F on Thursday. It's spring time there, big time.
