has fall gave way to winter?

Looking at our weather predictions it looks like we had a short fall and winter is about here. What say you guys?

extended forcast;s i have saw agree with you.

WHAT FALL????

All the channel leading to our lake froze last night and trapping season is 2 days away. No open water trapping for this old man.

Exactly, all the leaves are on the ground and never changed color. And it's so cold I'm wearing wool socks, three of'em.

It was below 0 two nights in a row. -4 and -6 so its getting close. They are ice fishing here.

We didn't have a fall. Went right into winter, and predicted to get worse next week. We are running 20 colder than average...daily.

blame al gore and bill nye

We always had snow for deer season years ago. I like it when it gets cold, it runs the snow birds out of town. LOL JMO

Walkable ice here...

All we can hope for is global warming !!

Going to deer camp tomorrow, . About 8 inches of snow and more expected. That will bring the deer into the yard, start the migration. . old243

It's climate change LOL.

In our area I don't see November changing much as we have been below normal in temperatures since October. The last 10 days or so we are averaging about 10-20 degrees below normal. It will take a real warm spell in December to take November away and that may not be a good thing. We have had that in the past. I remember one season where I was wading a stream the 2nd week of December setting traps with a T-shirt on under the waders.

23*F this morning.

20 here,,keep the fires burning......12 here tuesday

we got about two inches of ice on ponds an a lot more cold coming next week ,some day it not going to get out of teens

Yes

Gonna get cold and stay cold I think.

northern fishing time

Yesterday it was cold with bare ground.

Woke this morning to 4.5" Inches of Lake Effect snow.

It will make those deers easier to see and good tracking snow.

There goes the open water trapping as most all still water is now frozen.

Snowing as I type. 2-3" on the ground already. 1st week of November is too early for snow/winter. With the future forecast of cold temps and more snow, it looks like it may be here for the duration. Last year on the 2nd Saturday of November, we woke up to 9" of new snow. Ponds are frozen over and creeks are slowing down.and tightening up. Not good for trapping.

We had the coldest October on record,snow in September and now it is running 10 degrees above normal and dry for the last two weeks and predicted dry next two. You guys may be swimming at Christmas.

last 2 days has sure felt like winter is here in south west va

Global Cooling.

A Mini Ice Age is upon us.

Like We had in the mid to late 1970's.

We're doomed !!

Unless, of course, the Fur Boom

of the same time frame returns.

how's the fungus -munungous.

great

Pulled my traps on Thursday night. All my ponds we're froze. Despite ten beaver, paddling a bloody canoe three miles though over 1/2" of ice got old quick. Next person who says anything about global warming is getting punched in the mouth

Hutchy,

Are you one of those Climate Deniers ?

w

Careful walleyed... I'm still sore from all the global warming I had to paddle through...

We had a low in the mid 20's last p.m., but yesterday a.m. it was in the teens. North of here in the Au Sable River valley it was minus 4 night before last. All the staging Sandhill Cranes around here are having to roost on ice rather than stand in water. Keeps this up and they will vamoose.

Its a normal winter like back in the 70's.It was common back then to see 20 below the first of Nov. Seen a skidoo in town today.Got about 3 inches of snow on the ground now and more coming.
I pulled all my traps and put away the 4 wheeler until it gets a bit colder,and the running water freezes for better access with the snowmachine.

You're doing it wrong, Hutchy.

Canadian Master Trapper BOCO would have gunned his Bombadier Sno-go across

that 1/2" of Georgian Bay skim ice and snatched out those 10 trapped beaver as he was

speeding by while drinking a thirsty beaver adult beverage.

Work smarter, not harder as he would say, Eh ?

w

I figured Hutchy would have been out trapping in his spandex speedo longjohns on his waverunner.

C'mon boco, you know I only use the waverunner for scouting, and the spandex speedo long johns are for special occasions only!

And what, exactly would you know about "smarter?"

Good point.

Well ...I was the one canoeing through ice, so jokes on me lol
