Left the dang door open. My traps done froze up, that just ain't right for down here.

That is weird... usually you don't get record breaking cold in the South unless I happen to be visiting

We had your weather now you have ours we are givers up here we share.

This

Sharing is caring...

Blame it on global warming!!

Under ice beaver trapping has been enjoyed up here for far to long and no You can too maybe you can try Frost Scraping
Didn't that happen a couple years ago Seems i remember Bud Guidry talkin about froze-in shrimp nets or pots Don't believe I heard from him since

You ain't seen nothin yet, my friend. Wait till this Sunday and after, we be sending you some real cold! Our highs will be in the negative below zero temps.

25 years ago yesterday, we had the coldest day I ever remember. It was a Sunday. My truck was in the garage. I went out to start it. It barely turned over. I went back in the house, looked at the thermometer. It was -42. I told my wife not to bother even getting dressed. We would be skipping church.

Got ta love Bugs!!!

I hear when it gets cold, the feral introduced iguanas drop to the ground from trees ....keep looking up !

In two days it will snow big time for several days , and temps will drop in this region to around -20.

Of course it won't be near that bad in Georgia.

I remember the days and nights of the firing of the orange groves in FLA in times like this.

So everyone take care of the animals and get supplies before it hits. Keep the block heaters plugged in !

Dad spent a few years managing groves in Florida, I too remember the burners.

This area just south of Atlanta used to be peach orchards before they all moved south of here. I'm told all summer they would collect tires and railroad ties just for times like these.

To peel my traps out I had to bust an inch and quarter crust with the trap in it. Maybe I should buy some peat moss.

Gets so cold up here,,I have to open the refrigerator door to let some heat in the house.

Wow warrior, only an inch or so?
You can borrow my railroad pick axe if you would like...its the only way I can chip out trap beds around here. Two hands and lots of big swings, lots of big swings. After you work up a sweat you might even have a decent trap bed hacked out. THEN...you grab the sledge and try to drive in some rebar stakes too.
Waxed dirt goes back in the bed to replace the chips I hacked out.
Now thats real dirt trapping!

if you guys can't thaw those traps head to Angle Inlet across Lake Of The Woods 22 mile ice road. Article in the Duluth News tribune, but I can't paste it. Ice is 22 inches thick and will be freezing fast starting in a day or two

I just shoved a pallet full of firewood under the boat so I have it close by. Going back ut to split some more in a minute. But then terms like firewood don't mean nuttin to a Georgia boy I guess.

I have a nephew that lives in South Florida. A couple years agi they got a cold snap and those kizards where all over the place in the ground ciciadas

Wait till Global Warming kicks in , and the South has to deal with LAKE EFFECT SNOW brought down from the GREAT LAKES !!!

True.
