First snow of the season pool

[Wade Joseph]

Anyone care to start a pool on the first measureable snowfall?

Im going with Nov 9th.

(Wade I cleaned up your post a bit to be more user friendly sort to say. E-mail me with any questions. Northlander)

Im going with November 22nd. I hope its only a dusting. I want soom good cold ice making weather before we get any measurable snow. Northlander

[Wade Joseph]

No takers?

[Quickstrike]

I think first measurable ice on fish lake would be more interesting. I also think the prize should be non-alcohol related so our under 21 FMers can jump in.

just a suggestion.

(I agree Quick. Northlander)

[Wade Joseph]

Ok, no problem. But I preffer snow on the ground before ice gets made...then a period of no snow with good cold weather to make good clear ice.

How about a six pack of "beverage of winners choice"

november 10

[newfoldener]

Nov. 3 for deer season. Its been a few years since we had snow for opener.

[Fish&Fowl]

I hope we have a little of the white stuff on the ground for rifle opener. I will be optimistic and say Nov. 1, but then we don't need any until we get that good blue ice going so I can start chasing lakers and crappies. Also can't have freeze up be too early though so I can still duck hunt in Nov. I'm a hard guy to please!

I pick this wed. thats what the forecats said

[Northlander]

We atre talking measurable snow. I doubt anything soon will be able to measure.

[Big Country]

Doubting about measurable snow Steve-O? Come on man. We live in the North. We got our's last week don't ya remember? Oh yeah, you were'nt there. We were up in Saskatchewan. Snow . . Geese that is. Picture's to come soon BC

[Northlander]

Ya I know we could have it before Holloween. Im just hoping we dont get too much.

[Mudcutter]

work for the weather in DSM iowa,,,--- you will get snow and measureable at that--- maybe a inch or two-- as even Iowa will get some frozen mix come thurs. The ground is still warm-- but with temps in the 20's,, it will gather on grassy areas etc. Thurs-Fri it may not climb above 32F as far south as Hinkley-Brainerd- line.

Could change--- but right now this air mass is looking pretty cold mid-OCT.

well it is going to be this week they say??? .

[Northlander]

I still doubt what we get around here will be "Measurable". I think the ground is still too warm to let what we get sit around too long.

Heck I still have to mow my grass 1 last time.

[Wade Joseph]

Yeah, I do too, just to mulch the leaves. I don't rake. The way I figure it, if God didn't want 'em on the ground, he wouldn't have put them there.

[Mudcutter]

not what my pals at the Duluth office are saying; WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE NORTH SHORE AND POINTS EAST.

check out this forecast for Two HArbors area;

[Northlander]

I still say we only get 1-2" and none of it will stay long at all. It will be too wet. Now Ashland and south could get hammered.

[upnorth]

Looked outside a few minutes ago and there is white stuff on the ground. Not much just enough to cover the grass. Not mentally prepared for this

[gunflint]

I'll be putting the plow on this morning!

[Bassboy1645]

[upnorth]

[Steve Foss]

We just got a light dusting here overnight, and now the sun's shining. Go figure.

[Northlander]

Just Rain in Superior and Duluth.

[gunflint]

1/4 inch on the ground and still comming. Doesn't look to stop until tomorrow.

[LoonASea]

I just got new tires put on ...let it snow ....I will still be able to pull my self up the boat ramp when icecycles form on the prop

[SKIPPERS KID]

I have snow on the ground as well??? .

[beeonkey]

[bwtrout]

We woke up to this Friday in Grouse camp off the Norway Trail, up the Echo Trail.

We managed 3 flushes and 1 bird Thursday evening but nothing Friday. It was still a good time!

[Steve Foss]

Hey Brent:

SOMEBODY got a grouse! This was this afternoon on the Secret Lake/Blackstone Trail outside Ely.

[bwtrout]

I hope the guys at camp had some action today!
