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.

They keep a selection of Antler Velvet supplements

      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.

If you hear this in the woods , it'll be sure to send chills down the spine.
