reevesr1 Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Think it may get cold enough for this tonite? Frozen Waves, sort of Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Let is snow. I hope we get epic proportions of snow. We need to weed out some of the weak and non 4x4ish. All kidding of course but I love a good blizzard. Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Come drive my truck for a week and ya might change yer mind Seriously though, let it snow. Hope the snowpack is real good up there, we'll need it for the summers we seem to be having lately. Quote
bulltrout Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 please refer back to the "I Hate Winter" thread...man this winter sucks... Quote
WesG Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 No kidding, this winter so far has had more snow then any that I can remember in recent memory. Usually Lethbridge spends weeks at a time with no site of snow in the middle of winter which then allows me to get my bike out and ride. As of this winter we have had snow on the ground since mid november and every time a chinook comes it lasts for a few days till the next cold front comes and pukes snow on us again (case in point, today). So here I sit, starting to get fat from lack of physical activity and i dont even want to ice fish as its to damn cold!. Was going ot head to the Duck Lake Derby in Montana this weekend, but -20 without windchill for tomorrow is a little to nipply for me. I am sick of this *hit already! Quote
LynnF Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I hope it snows mammoth proportions from February 14th to 23rd. Quote
Taco Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I hope it snows mammoth proportions from February 14th to 23rd. Yeah won't those Mexicans just freak out :P Quote
LynnF Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Yeah won't those Mexicans just freak out :P Why Taco..I have no idea what you're talking about Seriously.....the more snow the better. I can't take another half year of camping and fishing down south. Quote
Glenbow Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Winter blows. There is already plenty of snow in the pack on the bumps in the land up high. Let the sun shine, and the cutts rise. Quote
snakeman Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Winter just makes spring that much sweeter, it's a part of Canadian life folks. Quote
Tako Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I haven't caught a trout in 17 days :blink: Help Quote
Taco Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Wouldn't worry about it Snakey, pretty much the same people start whinin' again when it hits 38C in July. :rolleyes: Quote
reevesr1 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 I haven't caught a trout in 17 days :blink: Help Right at 14 days for me. Yuck. Oh, and Taco, I like it when it's 38C. Feels like a nice winter day back home! Quote
Weedy1 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Quit yer frickin whining, 98 days for me since the last trout. (Nov 3) I don't even have the nasties yet, you boys need to learn some patience. Quote

Weedy1 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 You need to start icefishing I make a habit of going ice fishing once every five years with my brother in law, no more, no less. Last time I checked it was 3-1 for me. Quote

Last time I checked it was 3-1 for me. There was a line in Blue Ribbon Bow, I think, that said: "I have a friend that goes ice fishing because he says it feels so good when he stops." Quote
Tako Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Some of us lack the bow river in our back yards. My river is ice jammed for 30-odd kilometres right now. If I couldn't icefish, I'd probably have hung myself long ago Longest stretch I've gone without catching a trout in recent memory is 32 days Thought they were gonna put me away Quote
Weedy1 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 My river is ice jammed for 30-odd kilometres right now. PG I guess. I heard the ice was melting a few days ago. Things still the same? Quote
Tako Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 30-odd KM is the official distance. But it's essentially backed up to the Whitemud rapids halfway to Vanderhoof, and above the Whitemud it freezes bank to bank every year anyway. So basically it's frozen to Vanderhoof and beyond, with a little baby channel open from my place to the Fraser. But the Fraser is frozen bank to bank just south of town. Right now its stopped flooding, but man alive it could be UGLY come spring. I'm a couple hundred feet over the river, so if it gets to my doorstep the whole town's underwater Quote
Taco Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Oh, and Taco, I like it when it's 38C. Feels like a nice winter day back home! Oops, forgot about that, in your case... 112F and 96% humidity Quote
rusty Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Tako - if it's that cold, is there any general consensus yet about the effect on the pine beetles? Quote
