15.5" snow in my neck of the woods since about 2:00 Saturday. Hope they can all make it lol!

We got 20 inches here in Sconny...  not cool.  My turkey season starts tomorrow.  Ugh.

don't you guys know it's Spring already? You know, green and rebirth and birds chirping and everything new again.

Mine started last Saturday in the middle of that shit...needless to say there was no turkey hunting.

After a mostly open but bitterly cold winter we have been getting hit with a winter storm/blizzard about every 5 days for the last month with it being just warm enough in between to make enough melt to make everything muddy and sloppy.  Still frost in the ground so nothing is greening up or draining,  and shit loads of heavy wet snow drifted up everywhere.  We can typically go a few years without getting hit with a blizzard with east winds and we've had nothing but storms with east winds the last month.  

Went from thinking field work by late march to maybe early may now.

2 weeks from moving the camper back to the lake and there's still 30+ inches of ice on the lake and 30+ inches of snow everywhere.    This is going to make for a very late spring and a very very long summer.

Yeah, my dad and I were in SD two weeks ago turkey hunting.  We got our turkeys, but it snowed a few inches the day before and it was COLD.  15 degrees the morning we hunted...

Good luck if/when you get out!

Won't it make the summer short, or should I say shorter than normal?

no,  everything I would usually do in March and April,  now has to get crammed into May.... May into early June and then all summer I will deal with the shit that got half assed this spring or maintenance that didnt get done because there wasnt time.   Not to mention zero down time.... makes for a damn long summer of work.  honestly I am not sure why a guy that is in the construction industry in SD would have an ag related hobby.... guess Im just not to bright.

Gotcha, but it will be shorter too......


It's always summer where I am, but I get to drive an hour north in November and hunt Elk in the snow and Pines this year----WooHoo!!!

I work as a private ag consultant and I am looking forward to a shorter summer. The last 3 in a row were like working overtime a few months and not getting paid for it.
