Thibault, you from AK, or canada?? Just the name of all the species you hunt makes you sound pretty far north.

Hey Bad Med, I live at the other end of the continent, or just about... Northern Quebec, 53'37"N, 77'42"W, 100 miles south of the first Inuit village... Not very far up north, as far as lattitude goes, but since we are next to an almost-enclosed body of water, climate is very comparable to AK.
-25 C this morning (what is it in F?)

F = 9/5 C + 32; C = 5/9 (F - 32). 1.8 degrees F = 1.0 degrees C. 0 C = 32 F.

So, F = 1.8 x -25, +32; -45 + 32 = -13 F.

Okay?

Man, you guys really make me want to go after some more rabbit. Still got two more months to hunt . . .

Whoa! Best way to hide my ignorance would have been to say " it's cold!"... but thanks, Art

(all temperatures are in farenhiet)
Well, we have had one of the wierdest damn winters on record!! Usually this time of year it hangs around zero for about a month, and we have 4-8 foot of snow in the yard, but this winter we've had warm and cold spells and not much snow fall. The biggest snow we've had this winter was 8 inches, and if none of all our snow had melted, we still wouldn't have had more than 2'. Unfortunately after every snow it gets warms and melts it. Our roads and yards are frozen in about 6 inches of clear ice eek! The coldest it's even got this winter was about 5 degrees, and for the last week it's been above freezing. Today it's 35 !!!
