We have an inch of ice over everything with a temp of about 27F. It's starting to rain again so we're expecting another 1/2 inch of ice for this afternoon and tonight.

I unfortunately laid out a river line Friday but have been housebound ever since with our rigs glued to the ground. It's an ice skating rink out there.

I checked all of my trapstoday.Was cold and hard on the bare skin but I bundled up and walked slow so no sweat. The Long Johns sure helped.

Yeah, I've actually been able to do a little under ice trapping. That's rare, here.

You call 3 cold? Try - 21f with a 25 mph wind and I'm not the coldest. High yesterday was -3f been sub zero for past week, when ya'all get that then maybe you'll know cold and can say it's cold

Love below Zero weather the snow is cold enough you dont have to rebed traps, can set traps in snow and the critters start getting real hungry also they let down there guard a bit.

Was a nice warm sunny day here, got up around +32, water on top of the river ice, I had to wade out check my net. This warm weather sure messed up the trail.

Pawnee, looks like the only thing you have to break the wind there is a couple power poles and
a scruffy tree they had to trim because of them. frown

Don’t mind the cold, but the drifting in this farm country has been a real pain in the rear.
Busting through drifts every day. Aggressive tires are a must.
Anyone remember studded snow tires and tire chains? This goes on much longer………

No matter how bad it is for us there is always someone worse off.

It seems though here in Illinois we always get an inch of rain before the bottom drops out of it makes coyote trapping interesting
