With Temps In The 20's at night here in Wisconsin the lakes and ponds appear to be frozen up but I'm still seeing ducks and geese in the cut corn.  Are these ducks just passing through or do you think they are sticking around on a river or something for the winter.  I would think it is really frozen out further north???

What are your day time highs????    we have been hitting the high teems and low 20 most nights here in Va.  Most days we are in the 50s so no major freezing here. Some morning our lakes freeze around the edges and is gone by mid day.  I'm pretty sure your rivers are loaded with the fowl!

On the way into the office this morning the thermometer on my truck read 7.  We are headed for a high of 20 today and I took the day off to get a couple of hours of hunting in this afternoon.  The weather is relative (in my opinion).  You get used to it, dress for it and just do what you want too.  They are calling for highs in the teens all of next week.  We should see our first negative temps of the year then.  Having just dug a hole for a new building I'm doing, the frost is about a foot deep right now.

Boy, that sounds cold to this Va boy

We are just coming out of a deep freeze here in Va. As ponds and lakes start to thaw, things are starting to get back to normal. Our general duck goes out on the 30th so we have to work fast.
