these pic's I had in the camera. I had not downloaded them yet. This one was taken out the front door tuesday morning when it started really coming down.

This was taken looking out the back door up at our mountain.

Looking out the front door at our snow covered bird feeders and the little pond here by the house.

I even mamaged to get a quick picture of a red-bellied hawk (one of a pair that flew over) from the front porch. I saw 3 turkey vultures fly over today and that's a sure sign of spring as is the Say's phoebe's and wood thruses showing up. We need to dry out a little now, my food plots are saturated and water is on the surface in puddles all over them. But on the plus side, we don't have to live with earthquakes, blizzards, tornado's or hurrican's. This years snow (15") was the most snow we've had in decades and our two nites of 10 degress was the fisrt time in over 20 years to be that cold.

Now you keep working on that tan so you'll fit in with the rest of them State workers come next week, haha.

Dave, I'm sure glad we don't get that kinda stuff on this side of the mountain. Been out doing my spring planting all week.
 
Hey guys, could I gather from all this weather talk that there may be a little water for the refuges up there next season?

Vick, by now you should know that no matter how much snow we get around here....there seems to never be any left by duck opener to keep the lake filled. We have not been able to hunt Shoalwater Bay for 7 years now and the last time the lake was really up was the fall of '98. We are over due for a good lake level.

I heard tell, that the main reason we never have enough water was because, ya see.....by September there are so many ducks on the lake and ducks being ducks...they are always drinking and as we all know....ducks cain't pee, so, all that water they drink up never gets recycled back into the lake!

You being a water major and duck hunter, you know how much water all them thousands of ducks drink every day....it's a wonder there is any water left by the end of October. Good thing the rains come by then. Anyway, that was the scientific results of a 10 year study by the private firm of Dumb & Dumber Inc. :^)

HA, I knew it had nothing to do with farmers or swimming pools or hydro power!!! Thank you for filling in that gap in my educatation LOL.
Take Care,
Vick
 
Dave I just saw your pics. *sigh* sure wish it would snow here :) That sure is a bunch of snow. I'll have to see if I can ask my uncle how much snow he got. He's up the hill out of Cave Junction (I think that's right). I think higher elevation than you. Ten degrees....brrrrr that's chilly. That's perfect weather for sitting inside next to the fire, drinking hot totties and reading or watching movies.

I've got one more week of tanning left at the pool and then it's off to work for me :) I got drug out shopping with my mom and she made me spend all my money!!! On, horror of horrors, shoes!! Well more like sandals...have to wean myself off of barefoot all the time. So we'll do sandals then maybe, real shoes :)

Hope you're having fun!
 
Dani.

Cave Junction got dumped on pretty good. Highway 199 going up Hay's Hill was a mess for several days.

So your mom made you buy your FIRST pair of shoes huh? Well, sandals are close enough. Good thing she didn't try to get you some 6 inch spikes like heres :^)

Between the weather in Florida and your pool job, about the only thing ya need is a pair of waders for duck hunting anyway, shoes are only for people that need them :^)

Do some scouting and with any luck you should get your Ozzi-ola!

Best,
Dave
