You suck. I can't take too many more winters like this here in VA.
Have you run into a guy named Scott Douthitt out there yet? He was managing the Red Lion and quit to start his own business as a consultant.

Well, it's not going to change just because you live here. We usually get one or two "good" snows between Dec and Feb. Towards the end of Feb it will start to warm up. Then, in mid-March, we'll get a nor-easter that will dump 12-inches overnight, and it all melts the next day.
I get tired of the cold. It would not hurt my feelings any if it never snowed and remained 70* all year.
This will be my fourth winter and I've yet to see anything close to 12" of snow in one "storm". Hell I have yet to see any "good" snows with the exception of about 6+" the first winter I was here. That had people thinking the sky was falling.
I don't like just the cold either. If it's going to be cold, it may as well snow. But just cold and never any snow just sucks.
The 6 feet of snow on the ground I saw in Yellowstone last year was a little much, but a happy medium would work for me.

I think it was March of 1995 that we got the "big" snow fall. They were calling for "about 3 inches", and we got over 3-feet, with 10-foot drifts. I remember trying to walk down the street, but you had to walk backwards because the snow and ice was blowing so hard it hurt when it hit you in the face.
That was the last deep snow that I can think of.
Its been a little while since we've have a good snow, though. I think we had a few good ones in 2002 or 2003, but since then the winters have been fairly mild. I'm not complaining, though, as snow only makes a mess.
As for everything shutting down at first sign of a snow flake......that's bullshit. Yeah, the public schools shut the doors because of bus routes, etc... but if you notice, a lot of the private schools still went to school over the last few days. Even if you listen to the radio cancellations, 95% of the cancellations are public school related activities (ball games, meetings, etc..) or government offices. Some times the banks will open late, but other than that, everyone else remains open unless it's a deep snow. Shopping complexes, grocery stores, hardware stores........they don't close unless it's really bad.

If I can go sunday would be best. My air suspension went out and I replaced them with OME HD springs that had seen better days so my trucks rear end is a little saggy. I don't know how it would do off road. It bottomed out on a bump on a dirt road yesterday. I need to order RTE springs soon.
Dan,
'94 was the first blizzard and '96 was the other. I want a big storm like that to play in. We are due.

Don't know, how about you?emmodg said:
Never made it, the weather was just too cold and I didn't want to drive over there just to get skunked.
I went to the Skidmore Fork by Rawley and did catch a few small ones. Actually had a stonefly hatch while I was there.
Dan, fish, like you, eat when they are hungry. And while a cold front may effect fishing in lakes, in my experiance it his less effect in streams.

While this is true, pressure has an effect on how your bait presents its self. More importantly, how your fishing line presents its self (or how it doesn't).
LOL.
I'm gonna present my weiner in a second.
I think he just got off the EE site talking about watches and gourmet cheese, because they are ignoring him.
