limeyangler Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Hi all, Had it all planned. Was going to go trout fishing today. Only one chore to do, easy….front porch area needed snow blowing…then gone! Hmmmmmm, what i forgot was that the guy who plows our yard after heavy snow IS ON HOLIDAY 3 hours later at 1pm i'm just about done with the snow removal, only problem is the wind is up to around 25kmh and temps have dipped to minus 20c and dropping. Seems to be the pattern here this year, gets warm enough to snow then too cold to go out and play in it. Well i was not going to let that stop me. With fishing off the radar (again) I took the opportunity to clear out the garage…then jumped on the snow machine for an evening stroll round the block.
manitoubass2 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Thats exactly what we have here too simon. -40 and cold and windy as f*#%}. Then -10 and 12" of snow, then repeat. I had drifts today well over 20" and man o man, what i had to shovel by hand was tough. I went and checked the ice after work today, 30-35"!!!!! Howah! Might need an extension this year lol. Forecast is looking BRUTALLy cold till next friday:(. GNARLY
danc Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Simon. This is just an old fashioned winter for us. You haven't been up this way for very long, but this is nothing new. It's either record setting cold, or mild and snowing. I remember the entire month of January waking up to -20f and lower temps. Welcome to the north my friend.

grt1 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 it would be nice to catch a break and warm up for a couple weeks though.

manitoubass2 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 You Northeners whining about the cold again?? N. Ont---what do you expect? nothing normal about -53 lol. -25 sure, thats fine, barely need a jacket, but -53 is a lil rediculous.
SirCranksalot Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 nothing normal about -53 lol. -25 sure, thats fine, barely need a jacket, but -53 is a lil rediculous. Spoken like a true fisherman. In the post above you said -40!! Let's us know when it hits -60!
manitoubass2 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Spoken like a true fisherman. In the post above you said -40!! Let's us know when it hits -60! yeah -40 has been seemingly the average, dipping past -50 in the nightime. I dont think we'll hit -60 but at this point who knows lol. Supposed to be gnarly cold the next few days, then really nice on friday, -15 i think? Ill be fishing all day in that
SirCranksalot Posted January 5, 2014 Report Posted January 5, 2014 Wow----you need a new comparison to over that. Not even brass monkeys know about that. And witches hide inside with fur lined bras!!
