It's warmed up here and is snowing. Officially -8; about -10 in our driveway. It's a relief after cold for so long ;o)

You's must have sent that cold down here as yesterday it was 28 and this morning tis -4 , this is ok but could you send down a little snow with that too,,, maybe 3-4 inches please.

Ubob, seems like out that way you are more subject to winter thaws. It must get frustrating at times. It seems clear to me that we should not have used near as many aerosol spray cans back in the day, LOL.

Blister, "warmed up to -10" It always cracks me up when the Anchorage radio weather dudes call that "bitterly cold".

Though I gotta say I prefer 20 or so.

-10 is OK but I did use this last bout of it to frostbite my nose. Will be trying out the windshield extension on the snogo on this weekend's check.

So far, only had two cats eat the bait, and they were both this year and both decent sized males.
In one picture I photoshopped, you can see the duck. It was eating it, all content when we walked up to it...

Do you cat trappers, internet or otherwise, use offset jaws at all?

I have Victor #4 DLS and #4 Jump, non-offset.

I check traps every 3 days so no need to feed them ...besides I dont use bait anyway.

and yes offset traps are a good idea..I use the bridger #3 coil offset

SW:
What can I say the Goreoracle warned us. I remember when I had a wolf pack feeding on a fresh moose kill at dark and went home knowing tomorrow was the day only to wake up with the snowmobile setting on green grass after an all night Chinook.

the last couple days we had a nice dumping of snow woke up this morning to find 40 above and all the new snow gone overnight darn weather

Raining like crazy here in Homer. Just looked and St. Mary's is 36. bummer.

27 here and still climbing . Looks like bad news all around.

it was 50 in Anch.... It is 45 in Eagle River, raining and windy....

Zero here, so you guys keep that heat wave! Was 41 in Delta around 3pm!

I stuck the gunny sack full of White's frozen food for the trap line into the freezer last night. Good thing! It 'officially' 34 in McGoo right now.

Wow, pretty widespread chinook. It's been up to to 45 degrees and raining here for a couple days. Hope this is not whats going on up on my line, but
afraid it probably is. Pic's from January '09:

Hit 52 in Delta last evening...

UGH ! Please no more !!

I get to go check rat traps in raingear and extra-tuffs....gotta love it.....only thing is I made a set out on the ice for fox,chipped a hole in ice,put chain in,filled with water,it froze just hope it didnt thaw out and let chain come out if I was lucky enuf to have one step there

42 right now......man this sucks

The only good thing is that the marten are probably real active right now.

We had alot of hard rain,..when it rolled through here yesterday...you folks enjoy
