Some areas had 2' of snow, we did wake up to snow falling Sun morn though :rolleyes:

I'll be going regardless of weather too. My brother is coming in from out of state for the opener and I've never been to the NE corner. Had planned to go over this weekend to scout, but from all I hear the birds are still flocked up in winter mode.

I was up near there this weeked as well, and a couple hundred feet elevation made a huge difference in the type of moisture I was seeing. The birds will keep working their way up. I think we will be good to go by the 15, now maybe not so much for youth? Again it all depends on elevation.
