i'll make a run or two for "our" cold weather crew,
 
We have been really lucky so far here in S.E. Michigan . We have a few really cold starts in the low 20's with some areas getting into the high teens . But the temps rebound in the afternoon up to the 50-60 range . No complaints from me usually we have snow by now . Monday the 15th Firearm season deer opener is is forcast to be in the 50's and sunny FANTASTIC and I have to work . But least it will be nice for my dad hell will be out . I can remember many time going out opening day and having a foot of snow on the ground and temps be in the low teens and single digits . So who ever is blessed with getting out monday best of luck to you and enjoy the warmer than normal weather ......
