Margaret Weather

[Mr T]

Anybody have a link/resource for weather up along hwy 504 around the Margaret Unit.  As my late season nears I deal with my excitement for the hunt by looking at the weather and forecast continually.

My early season bowhunt was lost due to fire danger.  Now I have realigned my vacation time for the late season.  Just my luck all my points will be flushed down tthe toilet by record early snowfalls or the volcano waking up

Hey!!! Don't be talkin that nasty stuff!!!! My season's comin too!! The 23rd-30th. I lucked out big time, only had 2pts. but would still hate to miss out on once in a lifetime spot. I thought I got lucky a couple years ago when I got an antlerless tag for Mudflow with the front stuffer. Have you heard if Weyco is gonna open gates or not? I went scouting there in Sept. and everything was locked 'cept one road where they were logging. Good luck and I hope the weather co-operates so you can put one down.

I just found out that you can go to the WSDOT site then cameras and SR504 and it'll show a real time picture of the parking lot at the learning center up there. No snow in the parking lot today.

[Mr T]

Thank you.  I have been watching the WSDOT trail camera off and on all day!

The Forest Learning Center had snow in the parking lot today. Looked like about 3inches or so. Saw foot prints in the snow.

Saw the same camera looked like either a momma and calf or momma and fawn

Hahahahahaa!!! I didn't look that close, I just figured they were of the two legged type. That's encourageing. I just hope we don't get snowed out of the place. Now I'm gonna be laying awake at nite thinking the worst. Damn it!

Light dusting of snow in Toledo this a.m.  Saw snow up high yesterday. Was in a couple inches on the 1010 thurs.I'm thinking there may be a significant amt up there today.But hopefully still manageable.

if you cant get very far up the 504 cause of snow it ok. either hunt the green river vally or stick close to the 504 cause they will be headin down to the mudflow. 4 years ago i got drawn for the archery cow tag, theres elk everywhere. we had a heard right of the side of the highway on the mudflow side. my buddie got under them and push them to the outher side. they went under one of the bridges and went up one of the main trails were i was sitting, far enough off the road ofcourse, and i stuck one. it was great couldnt of work out better

That is what I told my hunting partner:  closed for fire danger in the fall and now early record snows in December! 

Oh well I will find something to worry about until I get out chasing those cows!

Sposed to rain down here all this coming week. Haven't seen or heard what it'll be doing between 2 and 3,000'. I'll definetly be watching the camera in the parking lot. This is starting to get pretty intense now.

I have a toutle cow tag but two guys in my group have Margret late cow.  We are planning on lots of snow.  Good luck!
