Today was the first day this year I heard the cheerful sounds of spring peepers. It was in the 60s, and I was trapping beavers in a short sleeve shirt. It was one of the few sunny days in ages, and it sure felt good. I know a lot of y'all are suffering from frigid temps, but I wanted y'all to know it's not that way everywhere.

Plus the old Toyota turned 700,000 miles and still going strong.

Old spring peepers are still frozen in around here. There have been times I have heard them during Feb. before but not this year.

I am jealous, I enjoy hearing them too. Won't be for a couple of months here though.

Im sitting in about 2 inch's of SNOW, lol. Crazy it's warmer up there than down here, doubt we ever got out of the 20's today, wind chills below zero this morning.

Paul, I thought you were a pretty good guy. But it was -24 here this morning. I cant handle hearing about the peepers. LOL. on the other hand though, I dont have to watch for snakes.

We got 12 inches of snow last night and I couldn't be happier. I hate the summer heat

Same here with the spring peepers. They been noisy for a week or so here on warmer evenings.

My Tundra only has 54,000 on it. Lol

Same here.

I actually heard some back in the beginning of December when we had a warm spell. looking forward to hearing them in a few months.

700,000 miles is impressive as all get out. I know it's been suggested before but Toyota should hire you and your truck for advertising purposes.

Starting to look like a tunnel of snow from my door out to the road. -32 wind chill forecasted for the morning. Nope, no chance of spring peepers around here for a while.

It was a around this time a few years ago we had peepers this early. Then we had ice a few days later.

All this snow got me hoping some will still be here during turkey season. Always wanted to hunt them in the snow but it will probably be a muddy mess.

Can't wait to hear those spring peepers!
Wow 700,000 miles! My new Tacoma has just under 9,000 miles.

Sure miss them, Mr Paul. I recall them in droves clearly in mind, growing up in FLA. Especially after rain showers.

It was a nice day here in NC today, needs a whole lot of drying out from all the rain.

Love hearing them.Be awhile yet here.

They are so loud here at times that 2 people cannot carry on a conversation near water.

4-6" of snow on the ground here. It's colder than normal down to the single digits tonight. We don't get as much snow as we did when I was a kid and i find it enjoyable watching my kids play in it.

Won't be long and it will be sap time, some seeds are sprouting, and the boys are talking about fishing..

I sold my 94 sr5 with around 315k. And I was very hard on it pulled trailers that I had to put it in 4 low to move them and 45mph max to the floor on a flat. Best truck I ever had.

Wife says she heard em here a week ago just before the big freeze moved in.

Yer a couple months ahead of us here for the peepers.When they start singin,,the bullhead start biting here.

It was nice in NC today. I am a couple hours west of Paul and further north, only 35 miles south of the VA line. Mid 50s here today with some sun and wind after 1 1/2" rain, some freezing the last couple of days.

Late tomorrow night and Thursday, we have another wave of rain coming with temps around freezing again. A couple of degrees can mean the difference in a light coating of ice to being a disaster. And power has not been totally restored to everyone just a few miles north of me from the last ice storm.

So ready for the rain to stop for a few days.
