On the second day of Spring we received 16.6"s of snow. Old man winter wasn't ready to let go just yet.
It was 17* this morning still grooming the snowmobile trails in the higher elevations. My hobbies are starting to over lap Shooting... grooming snowmobile and sat on the bike in the shop and did the motorboat through the gears . Lol

RE: What happen to spring???
Worst time of the year! I have left over ammo and new loads to fire form and the weather suck's. Just warm a few degrees and I can get to the rifle range. I'm getting twitchy from not pulling triggers. Can not wait for the new season to start for paper and steel matches and range practice to start!!!

RE: What happen to spring???
It has been different this winter for sure. We are in a lower growing season in the NW corner of Illinois. We are always colder in the winter then the surrounding areas. When I took the picture snow was falling at times I could not see 100 yards. Carol was talking to the kids one lives about 20 miles from here and the other 45 and they didn't get any snow or rain. The next day it got up in the low 50's and today heavy overcast but it might hit 50 again, 41 now. I have the jeep packed for the range and head over shortly. Alma is getting close and I need to get the .40 confirmed so I can load enough to shoot the silhouettes. But I will pack the .45-90 too

Hahaha, I was in southern Kansas a week ago, about heat stroked it was 70 degrees, but then drove in snow and almost blizzard conditions from Medicine Lodge to Goodland the next day.
