[dripley]

You can see the frost bite in that air.

 

[Scarecrow]

Well, you were wondering when the cold would show up.......

Just checking the highway cameras around the state mostly single digit temp from Lewiston ID down to Ontario, OR. Here at home being I'm in a deep valley its a mere +16*F but as soon as I leave I've got to face the bitter cold. Still trying to get to town to restock with food and supplies here. Been delayed now for 3 days try to get out of here. Between poor weather condition, poor highway conditions, closures of grades, vehicle accidents, etc.

[Scarecrow]

Yeah, it's cold.

"It's not the heat, it's the humidity" 😆

82% RH is still pretty darn dry, absolute.

[Scarecrow]

Yup, usually it's a lot drier in the winter here. That's what makes this year extra special.

Mosquitoes buzzing around yet? Our ticks are out in force already, but it was 70 this weekend.

[Me78569]

nadda yet.  we should have a month maybe 2 until that point.

[Mopar1973Man]

Couple of nights ago when it warmed up I could hear few crickets but once got cold again silence... I'm ready for spring.

 

@Jthor and I getting ready for the day.

there appears to be a timber wolf living in the area.  I just seen one run half way across the river grab the leg off of a deer that must have falled in and froze, then run back to shore down the river from my place.

Ahhh... That's nothing...

• Wild Turkey
• Mountain Lion / Cougar
• Bobcats
• Turkey Vulture
• Black and Brown Bear
• Raccoon
• Fox
• Elk
• Deer
• Badger
• Porcupine

Yup I've got plenty walking through my yard at all hours. Really spooky to get home and walking in the dark to the back side man door to open the garage. Then to have a buck snort snot all over you and turn and just barely see the outline of a fair sized buck backing off. Hence why my daily wear includes a belt with my multitool and my Maglite LED flash light. Way too many time have animals closer to me than I thought in the dark.

[Me78569]

3 days in a row now for the wolf.   it came up the bank ~20 yards from the house.   

 

we have a month or so until the bear start coming out again,

Most of the time if you're nice to animals they are nice to you, unless it's baby season, then don't test your luck.
