Some of us southern boys have been out swinging trying to keep you northern guys motivated for when you all can get out and dig and this is the thanks we get. Possible rain, sleet and snow with 9 degrees for lows here and high temps. of 10 degrees tonight and tomorrow. See if I show you that half dollar I found yesterday. Oh, well, guess we should be thankful we aren't going into the minus double digits you guys are getting and having. Oh, the half was a clad Kennedy, by the way. As you can see, "cabin fever" is already setting in. You all take care. HH jim tn
 
I got in a couple of hours in this morning before the rain set in. For the next couple of days it's going to be cold here. 7 degrees and 17 mph wind. Tomorrow is hair cut day, so no big deal, but Tuesday is a lost hunt day. Wednesday is looking good weather wise. Jim with your rainproof ATPro I thought that you'd be out swinging today. :)

Yeah...its bad across a wide stretch...you guys sure have been working that Memphis area right on through it, and for that you should be commended, or committed! :rofl:
I've been watching the webcam somebody set up on the local skiing hill, but have not had the chance to go and clean it up since my sube got wrecked and I dont want to risk the other car out on the ice much..you boys stay in it, and keep us motivated and anxious for the hunt!:beers:

The Canucks started it!!! Or maybe the Siberians. -18 degrees F forecast here overnight. That is the temp....not the windchill......otherworldly -50 to -60 windchills. Yikes!! I get to go to the oral surgeon to get a wisdom tooth extracted tomorrow instead of humping FedEx deliveries. So I win, right???? Keep warm guys and HH. Bob.
 
Now thats some cold Bob!

Had a campfire freeze solid once while out checking beaver traps in MN..my bladder froze solid too, had to punch myself in the guts with a block of wood like a fellow would do to break up a bag of ice...sounded like a danged old cement mixer when I was finally able to pass...looked like a lime slurpee dispenser wrote my name in the snow out there!...One winter, every word we spoke froze, had to wait until Spring to hear what was said....took a shot at a deer in December, bullet froze solid mid-air! Finally killed him in April, got a ticket for hunting out of season!

This am I drove across Lake Mich to Milwaukee, its only 60 miles, and I did not have to pay any tolls...ran into some ice fishermen out in the middle of the lake, Hows it going boys, fish biting? Said they dont know, only got 10' of shaft on their drills and havnt hit water yet..

.This kind of cold is no good for gloves, a fellow has to have mittens, and idiot ones at that...you know what an "idiot mitten" is? You have a string tied to both of them that runs around the back of your neck, for if you lose a mitten in this cold, your hand is soon to follow....every day driving down to the KayRoger or the Pigg for beer is like an adventure out of "Ice Road Truckers" except without Lisa Kelly..(shes fine!)

..Daughter called from Georgia today..said she saw a penguin and a polar bear out in the back yard fighting over a dead walrus...said, you should be thankful, I've got a family of Inuits camped out front, and their damn dogs are keeping me up all night!

Geez, it certainly has the ear marks of being a long winter, particularly in Michigan. :rofl: HH jim tn
 
Ha, good ones Mud. It was so cold here today that I saw a lawyer standing on a corner waiting for a light and he had his hands in his OWN pockets. I'm just getting reday to take the dog out for a walk. Fully clothed, face mask and all. If my heart bypass doesn't reject me because of the cold, I should be fine. If you don't see me posting anymore......... it's been a good ride. HH. Bob.
 
Yeah, we are all friends. Wish I could meet some of the people here in person. About 9 or 10 years ago I did get to hunt with a couple forum members (this one and another forum) who took a vacation traveling from the upper Midwest to the Deep South and then onto here in New England. Great times :detecting:!
I really enjoy seeing the finds from Dixie. Searching for the post that would prompt your subject / title... ?
Hope one of my previous comments wasn't taken as less than enthusiastic of your digs. When I post up in the evening it's occasionally accompanied by my "nightcap" indulgence, I can get loose in my comments :drinking: all in fun.
Keep the finds coming!
HH - Bruce
 
Bruce, no,no, I wasn't very articulate, I was kind of suggesting it was you northern guys fault that we in the southland was going to be suffering for a day or so with single digit low and teens for high temps. Of which, of course, we aren't accustomed to and need to blame on someone.

I'm with you on meeting some of the forum members. That would be a real treat. HH jim tn
 
-50 wind chill when I ran the garbage out today. I darn near screeched like a little girl that lost her Barby ! Please keep detecting, those that can, I live vicariously through your finds. :detecting:
 
See ..I'm A good friend who doesn't hoard everything for my self....:rofl:

Lots of snow on the ground and, other than today, really cold here in midstate NY. Man, haven't swung in a couple of weeks now and that took place after travelling three hours to the coast. Early cabin fever. Keeping busy by going to work and [utting some things on eBay.

Love the Canadian Snow Soldiers :yikes:
 
I surrender John. They can take me prisoner anytime. If our service ladies had looked like that in the early 1970's, I would have been a lifer in the military. LOL. I can tell I just turned 60 last year, I looked at that picture of those lovely ladies and it didn't warm me up like it did when I was younger. Used to I would have broke out in a sweat, now I just thank God I still have my vision.

I thought I told some tall tales until I read this Mud. It's gonna be just 12 degrees in my area tonight with a wind chill of minus 9 degrees. To members up north, that's not much but in South, Ga, it's very cold.
