Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 And here I thought I was being hard done by, with a week of rain and temperatures in the 40's and 50's, affecting my ability to cut the lawn. Sorry Pards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckshot Bob Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 And if you already put the snowblower away. I still have the blade and the front end loader on my tractor. If I had taken it off you can guarantee the storm would have went far enough south to get me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 That's way north of us here in NE OHIO, but we're supposed to get a dusting tonight as the temp is dropping into the 30's. Probably nothing will stick, 60's by Thursday and the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say Lake Superior never gives up her dead. I’m by Lake Huron and it’s usually August before it’s comfortable in 4’ of water.

Michigan Slim Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 My uncle told me that if Michigan doesn't have it, a man doesn't need it. After I got old enough to hunt, fish and meet a couple farm girls, I firmly believed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckshot Bob Posted May 2, 2023 Author Share Posted May 2, 2023 Warm places don’t get cold enough to set the bugs back. One of my X girlfriends was from So Cal so I’ve spent some time down there and it seemed like everyone had roaches. Even when the Orkin man visits regularly. They all told me you need to mt your trash every night before you go to bed or you will have an infestation in the house . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 We got one good cold spell this winter and that was it. Needed another week or so of cold weather* (*southern cold weather is lows in the 20's, highs in the mid to low 40's) to put a dent in them.

Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Herman is in the major snow belt area. Not only just the right distance from the lake but high altitude. They have a great hunter stew meal during deer season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
