We are finally forecasted to get a few inches of snow here in PA early next week. Don’t laugh friends from the north!

For traps out now, should I do anything to prep them for the snow cover like apply fresh urine, lure, antifreeze, etc?

And after the snow, should I do anything like remove the snow from the sets, clear dirt holes, fresh urine, lure etc, or should I just leave everything be?

A lot of variables: traps 2 or 4 coiled?, how much snow?, is it going to thaw and then freeze? Are traps already bedded in waxed dirt or sand. As far as bait or lure, I'd just leave them alone, maybe re-fresh the urine, after the snowfall,
