Is that a highwall from a strip job?

Spot burner!

Spot burner!

Oh don’t worry, there’s room to squeeze a couple more in. Might have to take turns casting though.
Fishing is SLOW since the cold snap. Tons of fish in the river though

I don't think so. It's a cliff right above the river. We walked up it squirrel hunting on public.

We just got through the longest cold spell I have seen in close to 30 years, with temps dropping into the negative mid-teens. Last week was the first time I had seen the ground, because of snow, for over three weeks (unusual here). I was outside with a flashlight tonight and saw movement on the ground. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

Cold, but the ground isn't frozen?
Pa...leese!

In my part of West Virginia, it snowed before the ground could freeze, got cold (13 below on the way to work one morning), then warmed up (57 degrees on the way to work a week after the low), and then rained a bunch. Weird weather.

Looks pretty chilly in your neck of the woods.

I'm envious, wishing for one day a week to fish the river.
Mild Nov/Dec here, but they forecasted below average temps and above average precipitation for remainder of winter.
So far just as they predicted.
Snow pack must be strong, haven't heard stats, though.
Thought you were in Washington, surprised at the crawler pick.

Winter finally showed up here. I’m working on the interior of the shop I’m building at my house, instead of siding on the house I’m building for work.

First winter not working outside.
No complaints here.

I’m not looking forward to next week. Temps below zero and all we have is outside work.
