Title: What in the heck
Post by: turkey_slayer on March 23, 2013, 10:15:33 PM
* EVENT... SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOPING BY SUNDAY NIGHT BEHIND PASSAGE OF A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS COULD TOTAL 4 TO 8 INCHES... WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 6 TO 12 INCHES ABOVE 3500 FEET BY LATE TUESDAY.

Looks like I'm hunting snow birds opening day ;D

Yeah, we're supposed to get pounded here in PA. It's cool with me though, this cold weather is keeping my birds flocked up. I still have over a month until opening day.

Last year we had 80's in March and April here in CT, that was strange but this is just not right. I just this morning herd the first gobble of the season. From my records of the first gobble this is the latest in 10 years. Most years average about March 13th or so. Still snow on the ground maybe it's good to hold thing back a little, at least here in the North East.

Yeah Friday morning we set a low record. Last year on the same day we set a high record.  It's got to break some time. I just hope we don't skip spring and go straight to summer :P

This is exactly what happened to us here in MI. Thankfully I got the early season and tagged out before it hit the 90's.
