"Sick of Winter" Thread
 

Lets hear it!! Who has had enough and is ready for some open water fishing, yakking, warm sunshine on your face and the feel of a nice striper yanking on the other end???? It feels like a 4th and goal with 5 yards to go..........we will get there but it will be a battle! March 1st is my finish line!! Only 6 weeks which really is not too far away!:uhuh:

Bring on the cold....

Camping this weekend, you should tag along :hihi:, we're building snow shelters to sleep in....it just what the doctor ordered for what ails ya

Be glad you dont work maintenance
 

My life is a living hell during and for two days after each storm... Yup I hate snow... I dont mind the cold but that white _ _ _ _ belongs in the mountains!:wall:

Winter just started.. lets enjoy the snow . I will be XC skiing and snowshoeing this weekend in NH. Go catch some fish thru the ice... winter is only 3 months... enjoy it while it lasts....

You are not quite "Right" in the head Kevin! :rotf2: And I was worried you would be uncomfortable sleeping on our couch!!!:rotf2:

Winter I like. Cold clean dense air to breath. Snow I hate , nothing but trouble.

How about snowless wineters? They have any places that get cold but get no snow?

LOVE THE SNOW

You live in NEW ENGLAND not Aruba

besides it keeps the woodpeckers away :devil2:

Winter.....Yuk!!........
 

No Thanks!!......:hs::hs::hs:

I would settle for mid-march and a little late winter trout fishing right now.......:)

I love the snow!
I cleans the air, absorbs noise, and is a blast for skiing, snowboarding and sledding!
All of this AND the potential for some good ice fishing? It's winter nirvana for the soul!!!
Sure, I enjoy the warmer months, but that's a completely different season and a different set of likes and dislikes, and it will be here in no time.

Larry, count me in. Over two feet of snow this morning.

Is it just me, or has it been a little colder than in years past?

I don't mind the cold but could do away with the snow.

Winter gives me time to work more, bank some cash and build plugs and buy fishing gear.

There is always a place called Florida for the sissies who don't like snow:grins:

Snow doesn't bother me. I am actually happy when we get a lot as it direclty relates to how good the spring run in CT has been in the past. Lots of snow leads to solid, steady flooding to really draw the fish up the rivers come May. I just hope it doesn't all melt in the next few weeks. We need a good snow pack up north to feed the rivers. :uhuh:

Actually, this season, nay, this past year has been similar to '94-'95.
Since these weather patterns tend to run in cycles.

:btu:

Here and in more southerly climes where the snow melt helps the Striper Spawn

Go to Antarctica , hardly ever snows, one of the driest places on earth.
Have fun.
You can look for meteorites on snow mobiles.

Hopefully 8 more storms like this before april and cod season opens.
:grins:

Mixed feelings about snow ... when we have runoff from a lot of snow, it tends to give tautog lockjaw when fishing NY waters.

I'm keeping track of everyone that LOVES the snow.... and when the ice dams form on thier roofs.. some snow relaated incident occurs on thier property or to their car... or the spring floods combined with melting snow floods their basements.. I'll remind them how wonderfull the snow is... now I'm off to clear the drains on the flat roof of the building.. all the while reminding myself how wonderfull the snow is...:yak5:

I hate snow
I'm not a kid anymore
snow is for the mountains

I like it. Clean air, beautiful to look at. Besides, when my black lab tries to swim in it it's pretty hysterical.

When Life Gives You Lemons.....
 

Drink beer!!!! Might as well make the most of it!!:buds:

The "Larry" beer was a gift I was saving for a special occasion! It was great Kevin...thanks!!

That's what I do.

I live on the second floor of a condo with a pitched roof with no basement at the top of a hill a few miles from the nearest river, so I am clear on all accounts. Yay snow! :jump1:

Lovin' it
 

I am not alone in my affinity for the white stuff. Hard to tell but she's smiling too.

Winter is what you make of it.
Bags to build, rods to build, plugs to build,...........winter isn't long enough.
Here are some projects at various stages of completion. :tm:

Liking the looks of those bags!

Antartica!! Just what I need. :)


Actually , few people realize just how huge a place it is.

Cold!! Oh Yeah!! They say if you take a leak outside , the stream will freeze in mid air and you'll be stuck to that spot until the summer! :)

If it is gonna be cold, I'll take the snow. Winter without snow stinks. Plenty of good open water right now and decent sized fish. If it wasn't cold and snowy, I would think it is the last week of April. Hate frozen braid, though. Only problem I have with the snow is that getting to the barn to and coup to feed the chickens and goats when there is 2' of snow is a bit of a biatch.
