Cracks us up how much this boy loves to be out in the snow. Even the Bernards think he's crazy. 😆

My sister’s Great Pyrenees refuses ro come in when there is snow on the ground. He absolutely loves it.

A week and a half ago I was talking about getting ready to go fishing. This week we’re getting hammered with snow :(

Snowbanks are pretty high here these days.  My 4 year old looks small compared to ours.

You mean he hasn't turned it into a snowfort yet?

 

He's slacking, man.

Lol he did that on the other side, but the rain shrunk the tunnels, and then re-freeze made it hard as a rock inside, too small to get through.  He and the dog were having a blast in there for a couple weeks though.

You the man, google confirms that's it.

 

Thanks!    

Assume this is the same type, just maybe a female/male version

Nope - that's a Horned Grebe - different species altogether.

What are you the National Audubon Society 😆

 

Seriously, many thanks.   Small stuff is hard to notice on the lake, but I like to know everything bigger on it.

 

From today....Deer can most certainly outswim me, they can motor pretty well, and pretty far.

They don’t even have webbed feet. They have chicken-style feet. That alone should tell you they are out of their element. When I used to duck hunt, we’d see a fair amount of them. When the ducks weren’t flying, and we were desperate, we’d pick off coots. They’re like overgrown wasps.

45 mph winds with 2 Level 1 tornados through the area yesterday, but the sun came out today, the winds died and the fish bit. My afternoon view from the office 😎

I'm getting jealous here, Brian - 6-8 weeks before the ice is gone and I can go hunt those crappie again.

One of the warmest Februarys on record here…only 6th time of no recordable snow this month. Last time was 1949. Our ice has been gone for several weeks :thumbsup: but we’ll probably pay for it in March - lol

Meanwhile - we're bopping between 30s for highs and teens-20s for lows...keeping the ice going on the lakes.

 

We're also just a five inches shy of getting into the top ten snowiest winters on record...with 1"-3" predicted tonight.

 

We do need the moisture though - most of the Metro is  still in a Stage-2 drought though my particular area has upgraded to a Stage-1 from the last snowfall we got.

It’s been quite warm here too this winter, but as @MN Fisher stated, moisture has been abundant. On average we get 21 nights below zero during winter (Dec - Feb) here, and we’ve only had 10.

My hunting dog (Vizsla) caught this the other day. It’s playing dead in the photo. Don’t worry, he lived. Took him out front and he walked on, hissing the whole way.

Dead is good.

Unless, of course, you are the guy that has to crawl under the house and remove the soupy carcass………


couple fridays ago I had to crawl under this sunroom and unscrew those boards, which someone used about 600 deck screws to hold up. I knew there was a dead possum up in there because my nose led me to it and I could see leaf nest falling out of the cracks. I got super frustrated with the exponential amount of screws and just started grabbing the boards and pulling on them and the possum fell out. Lucky me. I gave it shallow grave in their backyard, RIP mister stanky
