12-20 here and the cold and wind will test your pain tolerance....just came in from ice fishing. Brutal out there. Wouldn't want to do it without a shelter and heater.

The high today is only -6. Things are looking up!

Minot, ND until Thursday. I was wrong about the high, it changed and will hover around-12 most of the afternoon

At least the snow and wind stopped.

north dakota? holy smokes. I thought upstate NY had tough winters.

So this morning in DFW, it's 16F and feels like 1F, and there's a guy walking a dog, and for his head covering, just a generic baseball cap, and no gloves on.

Likely a transplant from the upper Midwest.

Or possibly just high as hell....

And a flask.....

What were you fishing for? Just bluegills through an auger hole or do you cut a block out with a chainsaw and go after pike etc?

Any luck?

Lol yep! Lake trout on the tip ups and jigging for yellow perch in the shelter. Caught one small laker, maybe 8 lbs, and enough perch to fillet up for a little fish fry this evening for the game.

ND and Minnesota are the coldest states in the lower 48. Temps of -50 isn’t unheard of and that doesn’t include the ‘feels like’. It is really brutal and a different kind of cold, more dry than anything so it doesn’t snow all that much like in Maine or Buffalo. Around here, locals say it is too cold to snow

Are those trout like the arctic char? Pink flesh and all?

Nah Arctic char are friggen delicious..sweet and flaky. Lake Trout have a strong fishy taste, are really oily and the meat is a lot firmer.

I'm not a big fan of eating them, some people love them and have all these things to do to try and make them taste good like soaking in milk or marinating etc...everything I've tried only makes them taste "less bad."

They're fun to catch though, especially if you hook one up on an ice jigging rod!

Ahh, okay. I would compare that to a redfish in my fishing grounds. It is a popular fish from the gulf but it is oily, fishy and firm as well. It is nothing compared to red snapper.

On the bright side, just spent the entire morning on the side by side and the streets are empty.

Wish I still had my Big Red 3 wheeler.....most fun you can have in the snow wearing clothes.

It snowed but not by much for my great nephews and nieces to play in. But suppose to be black ice on Monday morning. Two days off school here.

They say that here in New England too, but that's an old wives tale.
