I have lived in the U.P., and in Beaverton in the L.P.. I came to NC 42 years ago and have never seen single digits here until this year. I thought I left that S*** behind.

I went fishing yesterday, the air temp was in the high 40's, and the water was 37. Managed to get some nice crappie. Our crappie are starting to stack up for the spawn already. That tells me that it has more to do with the length of the days, rather than the water temps. If this weather doesn't straighten up, I may regret not bringing my ice auger with me.

When I was in the U.P., I worked at K.I. Sawyer AFB; that was in the early 1960's, and I experienced 53 below one morning. Looks like our winters are getting back to what they used to be. "GLOBAL WARMING", yeah! Al Gore is a nut job.
