The predictions of good conditions for snowy days start in the middle of November. They predict snow chances for all of December. And very little chances of any snow in January but the snow could start to fall again in February.

Our state shortstops the majority of our Mallards in the Northern end @ the Wheelerville Refuge, where they plant and flood corn, and put it out by the dump truck load too. Kind of a love/hate relationship for me..............guess it's good for the birds, but sucks for those of us South of it in the flyway, as they imprint there, without having to move any further South.
