3/13/2020 Update
Conditions have deteriorated for the snow pak.
Thawing daytime temps had put a hammer to the snows.
Sporatic area of bare ground in the midst of
woodland snows. What is left is a heavy
pak. We're in the season of transition.
Old Man Winter has been battling with Sister Spring
today. Temps hover around 32º and crazy winds.
It's Friday evening and though the winds have
subsided a bit, it still kicks up and the battle
reigns on.
Friday night should be pretty gusty winds around 25
mph. As the night moves on so do the wind
warfare. Saturday winds die down presumably
around 10 mph. Winds should calm down nicely
through to the close of the weekend.
Temperature highs should hang between the mid 30's
to low 40's by the new work week.
Nighttime lows will slow the thaw as temps drop to
the mid 20's tonight (Friday night) and further in
to the mid teens Saturday and Sunday nights.
A low chance of snow precipitation Friday night.
Other than that there is no significant snow accumulations
expected through the weekend. Partly
sunny skies Saturday and on the cloudy side Sunday.
The new work week temps will slowly rise daily
through to Wednesday with daytime highs
flittering around the 40º mark.
Nighttime lows should be in the 20's, creeping
up to 30º nighttime low on Thursday. If
the weather 'puters got it right.
Still some ice fishing on the backwaters
in downtown Atlanta as of Friday. The weekend should
hold good ice that'll likely move to FAIR in the new
coming work week resulting from slightly warmer
temps.
Always use caution before venturing out on to the
ice.
Stay safe, stay dry, stay warm and stay alive.

A
bit of advice on Bear
from a Montana resident a few years
back
In light of the rising frequency
of human/grizzly bear conflicts, the
Montana Department of Fish and Game is
advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take
extra
precautions and keep alert for bears while in
the field.
We advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little
bells on their clothing so as not to
startle the bears that aren't
expecting them. We also advise outdoorsmen to
carry pepper spray with them in case of an
encounter with a bear.
It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh
signs of bear activity. Outdoorsmen should
recognize the difference between black
bear and grizzly bear poop. Black bear poop
is smaller and contains a lot of berry seeds
and squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear poop has little bells in it and
smells like pepper spray.

Consider all the
minerals and nutrients the elk uses to get those
antlers so flippin' huge and strong in a manner of
mere months. These minerals and nutrients help the
body cope with arthritis, sore joints and muscles,
growth factors for bone and muscle health.
From those living with aches and pains to body
builders and sports junkies, it's in there!
Side effects of Elk Antler Velvet usually appear
in Autumn which may include growing antlers, an
urge to bugle, scrape the ground and head butt any
thing or any body that comes near your
harem. A slight inconvenience but they do
fall off in the spring.

to send chills down the spine.
