I have never experienced any temperatures below 12 degress until tonight. I am here in Denver and it is.... currently 2 degrees. If you do not think there is much difference between 12 and 2, you are NUTS! Supposed to be -10 tomorrow night. I have always said that I had rather be cold than hot because you can always put on a few more clothes and you can only take off so many. I am starting to re-think my stance on that particular choice of words... :eek:
WOW -10!! How long are you going to be there?
That's not for me!:eek: Cold for me is below +20*.:o
I lived there for 2 yrs, the wind and snow sucked. We had 4 ft in 3 days in march of 2003, I moved back shortly later. But I did catch some nice walleye while I was there.
Heck we have cold weather here in single digits at times, just glad it don't stay long. Like they say '' in Arkansas if you don't like the weather just wait a couple days!'' It was almost 70 this weekend and will be in the teens they say this week.:rolleyes::eek:
I would rather sweat than shivver!
I worked in Pittsburgh Pa in the mid '90s. I remember the temps hovering around 0 for a few weeks. When it rose to 10, I could tell the difference as well. I was walking through a warehouse and thought my toes were going to fall off. I stood on a patch of ice to see if it was any warmer than the cement.

Dang Allen, what you doing way up in the mile high? Crappie can't breath up there. Give me a holler some time and lets hit Millwood when it comes back up.

You need to pack up and get out of there... Tell RC it's just too damn cold.. you can go back in the summertime. l:D
Currently, -12 at last check. It was so cold, my rental car wouldn't even crank this am. Called a co-worker to drive us into the datacenter. If all goes well tomorrow, I should be back in the great state of Arkansas. Honestly, this has been a great experience out here. It is beautiful, the Rocky mountains are INSANE, the food is excellent and the crown and diet cokes are plentiful. On a side note, I am ready to take some crappie on a boat ride! Larry, millwood is a must when they turn on for sure. PM me your celly and we can chat a bit. Wanna hit superlift with the boys in March as well. John, do you think RC will listen?
PM sent Allen. Absolutely going to Superlift. Better half is all into the rock crawling and off roading ever since we took the new Ruby out to Colorado and hit the Alpine Loop trails.
I seem to remember a nightstalk on Lake Conway one cold Feburary night when the minnows froze in our hands. Remember? Good times.
I work in a cold storage warehouse and it is -10 everyday.
Well look what the cat drug in! Ole Flyflinger! Man, we would have been better off fishing with sardine flavored ice cubes wouldn't we!!! Creekslick, I sympathize with you man. We left Denver this am @ -15 degrees. I am in NO hurry to go back until the turkey's start gobblin at least!
I hope we are smarter now than we were then Flyfinger. Who's great idea was it to go fishing at night when the daytime temps didn't get over freezing?

Baiting up lines on the river last night, the mainline would freeze solid to the side of the boat during the 2 seconds it would take to bait a hook. My hair was solid ice from my eyes watering running between lines. Wish they made gloves that were warm and waterproof and still flexy and feely enough to bait hooks. I haven't been able to feel my right thumb since the 17 degrees nights we had a couple weeks ago.
Don't take any ice for the fish chest, though.
Hi Buddy, miss those nightstalks. Were you there when we went up the Little Maumle? Gooch said to put the two old guys in the same boat. Me and Jack slayed em that day. Everyone else missed it. I caught my first 15 inch crappie that day.
I believe that was around the time my oldest got sick. Next time we attempt a nightstalk, I say lets shoot for May/June/July/August :)
BW hope you are back in God's country by now. Hopefully you won't have to go back out that way for awhile. and I guess your right. RC never would listen to anything ;)
