Just about April - Don McDowell - 03-30-2016
[attachment=683]
electric out, running some stuff on generator this afternoon, phone been out since I called at 7 this morning to report the electricity out.... Yup must be about the first of April.

There's that white stuff again Don. Don't see much of that around here. Temperatures slowly dropping as our late Autumn gets ready for Winter. We won't manage snow though..but we do have electricity ..today at any rate.
Almost cool enough to head to the garage and start casting againGavin.

Yup, just about April. We got into the low 70s today, kind of a strange but welcome feeling... Don, I'd share it with you if I could. Shoot sharp, Mike
RE: Just about April - Don McDowell - 03-30-2016
It was 70 the last 2 or 3 days. Still not terribly cold, been holding around 35, that's why the snows not belly deep to a tall injun.
RE: Just about April - Mike - 03-30-2016
Well, the snow shouldn't last long then. Did you get your power back? Shoot sharp, Mike
RE: Just about April - Don McDowell - 03-30-2016
No power yet. Still running the generator.

Hey Ranch, Your snow can't last very long. It got up to 77 here yesterday. That's almost too hot, too soon. Shoot sharp, Mike
RE: Just about April - Don McDowell - 04-01-2016
Temps got to about 40 yesterday. So now we got about 4 inches of mostly white ice.. Then it snowed a bit last night, so now with that front moving on we have ground blizzards... The weather guessers say we might bet to 45 today.. It'll be a couple of days before this slush melts.

Just noticed the recording of Up and Down weather outside the Midwest. Last night in Ohio there was an artic blast that returned us to the 20s overnight. Today however temp has risen to 30s making for a great casting session out in garage. Hopefully I'll soon have Squirreled away the necessary 1500-2000 parts for this summer's steel critter hunting. We rather suffer heat while shooting in July than over the pot. Best of luck, shoot small. Anyone have good recipe for Steel Critter, wife refuses to cook it.

Gee Don you are making my part of the world sound nice :-). We are having really warm temperatures right now. Quite a bit higher than usual, the sun is out and my wife told me it's supposed to hit 80 degrees in the next day or so.
I was up at Gun Lake casting last weekend. We still have snow on the ground but the lake ice is melting fast. Morning temperatures were 38 degrees. About perfect for casting. I got a few hundred money bullets cast up for the Borchardt, and some .38-55's for a schuetzen match next weekend.
