I agree ironman. Going to be spending more time inside than usual for the next few days. To cold to even go out ice fishing!

I cancelled my Muzzle loader season hunt due to the cold, and not wanting to get stuck down there....I would rather be here, if the family needs me for this cold snap....with the rain,freezing rain turning to snow and then everything freezing, I need to be home just in case and not 60miles away....cause I wouldn't be hunting in this stuff, just to darn cold for me anymore the older I get the less I can take of it....never really bothered me before....I worked outside for the last 30 years

I'm sure your family appreciates it, I pretty much feel the same way as you. I can take the cold to a certain point, but there comes a time when it's just not worth frostbite or worse! I'll be inside today watching the Packer game! GO PACK!!!

I don't see how people can live in that area of the country. I flew into Appleton Wisconsin one night about midnight and it was -13 with a -38 wind chill. The walk from the terminal to the rental car lot is about 200 yards; I called a cab and went strait to the hotel door! Got a ride back to get my car the next day.

Other than some cold weather in the winter it's really not that bad of place to live Fin. Cold temps help keep the riff raff out as well, so there are some advantages.
