Dang guys it looks like you guys are up North!  We have been under 2 feet for about a week now.  Hunting in the snow can be fun as long as it doesnt get too deep....No mistakin where the hogs have been.

They're saying 8 inches here but 40 mph sustained winds. Were snowed in, not that I'd want to be Luton the highway, but I'm going crazy and I think jls41 is gonna kill me. Apparently I'm annoying when I'm bored and snowed in the house. Got a bunch of good pics of the 5 foot snow drifts. I'll get them posted when I can get to the office to download them.

we have a blizzard warning for tonight,7" to 10" of snow forcasted for tonight. just rain and strong winds for now.  NE oklahoma

Snowed in with 8 in???  We dont even cancel school for that!  8 in is fine for huntin!  Yall's dogs seen snow before?

were are you at keyser ?

man, ya'll make me SICK.  i gotta get back up to Canyon. :(

10" here, wind 40-50, power out untill about an hour ago. Drifts 4-5ft........

first blizzard in been in , in Texas that is  Abilene area  7 inches i think a lil hard to tell with the blowing drifts 2-3 feet
 sun is shinning now

The roads are ridiculous here, people stuck EVERYWHERE...as a matter of fact, I got a call from the thread starter BLUE LACY and he said he buried his truck and it was so stuck he couldn't open his door!! hahahaha

hahahah ive never seen this much snow in texas much less my dogs. i got a drift in front of my house that is waste deep

I sure hope all that is gone before the 26th for my last Childress trip of the year but it doesnt look like it will be.Hopefully the roads will be driveable anyway.

'Just now started sleeting here in Daingerfield,  hopefully it will turn to snow and alittle will stick! Ive never hunted dogs in the snow, Would like to take the dogs out in the morning if the wind dies down!  ;D

About 35 years ago, I went hunting alone without checking the weather.  It was hill country and I had not hunted in that direction before, and it was wilderness, no trails other than game trails  and no  roads.  It had not snowed there in 10 years.  My green dogs, 2 curs,  ran a deer back in about 5 miles and bayed it up!  It was a big buck with a good rack.  I had turned my catch dog in from a distance, not knowing it was a deer (all I heard was baying, never bayed up a deer before!).  It started snowing real bad.  I got real panicked as you could not tell which way I had come.  I was not dressed for cold, no gloves and just had on an un-lined Levi jacket, plus I was soaked through from sweat as I just ran off and on over 5 miles.  The catch dog was a good, smart female.  She saw the deer and just sat there and watched the fool curs bay.  She would do the same when dogs bayed cows.  I shot my .44 mag at the feet of the two dogs and yelled them off.  The buck took off.  I caught the two idiots and beat the heck out of them.  Then I looked around and knew I was in deep trouble.  The snow was now 6" deep, the trees were covered and you could only see about 100 feet.  No way I could find my trail back.  I kept the two trashy curs on lease to keep them from taking off after the buck again.  I was thinking if I had to, I would eat one.  And I wanted to keep them close, as it was definitely going to be a at least a 2-dog night.  I told the catch dog Dixie, lets go home.  I was shocked and pleased when she put her nose to the snow and led me back to the truck through the snow, sometimes through drifts 12-18 inches deep, over a 5-mile span.  Pitt bulls have as good a nose as any dog, they just choose when they use it!

Well guys just got home been burried in the truck all day! wet and cold! cant believe this weather never seen anything like it people stuck EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!! :o

Yup, I had to hit 3 drifts between the houseand the front gate. The tallest 4 foot, high centered twice, finally got enough run at it to knock it down and bust out. Luckily the airbags didn't deploy. I hate being cold and wet.
