Worst season since 15-16

This is probably true. But Snow, you sound like an old dude. : )

Looks like there should be some rabbits there if everything that eats em didn’t get em. Were there any tracks? They’d be out after the cold snap.
They’re pretty low on the food pyramid.
No such thing as tough rabbit.

Lots of rabbit and squirrel tracks. He eats what he shoots. I got to sample some of his first attempt at venison jerky. It wasn't too bad.

He was actually after a raccoon. He wants to make a hat. Check this out. It's a raccoon highway in between two trees.

He can hunt em day & night in NY till the 15th. Their fur should still be prime.
My uncle in Pa. used to have a long legged coonhound and went hunting em at night.
I’ve used this stuff for tanning furs/hides. It works.

Yo Jason.
Locals are saying "there's a chance" on Sunday. Do you see anything worth talking about?

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Albany NY
644 PM EST Tue Feb 7 2023


.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

At this point, the long term period looks to remain warmer than
normal with a low probability of any significant precipitation.
Quasi-zonal northern stream jet is forecast to remain
along/north of the international border, likely preventing any
incursions of Arctic air. As Thursday`s system moves off into
the Canadian Maritimes on Friday, a warm day is possible for
roughly the southeastern two thirds of the forecast area as deep
mixing is forecast before the onset of cold advection. Highs
could reach the 50s in the Hudson Valley/Litchfield County if
the timing is as currently forecast. The cold advection works
through Friday night, setting up a much cooler but still
seasonable day for Saturday. Cutoff low in the southern stream
is forecast to move offshore of the Carolinas on Sunday, but
consensus supports any precipitation with this system remaining
south of the forecast area at this time. Assuming this is the
case, high pressure should be parked over the area Sunday into
Monday, leading to dry weather. Warm advection Monday ahead of a
weak northern stream wave could result in another very mild
day.

As bleak as it could be be from a skiing perspective

As bleak as it could be be from a skiing perspective

Winter is dead. Far warmer and wetter than any season in my 60 years of life. In the Rochester area it's been like perpetually living at the beginning of April for the last three months. Stick and mud season.
