Still snow on the ground here at the Ponderosa, but next three days will have high temps around 50 will take care of that. Hopefully, three days will help dry out the ground, especially where the drifts have been.

I hope I can make it and if I do, I will stop by.

Welcome

Pure slop around the Ponderosa. Still snow cover, but daily highs above freezing, making it a real mess.

I tried about 15 years ago to do one in Dodge as a fund raiser for PF. I couldn't get it using the people I contacted because they used diamond backs and they cannot be brought into Kansas. I don't know if this has changed and I don't know about Missouri. I ended up taking my dog to Amarillo.

Welcome to the forum. Here in Kansas our pheasant and quail seasons run through January 31st. There can be some really nice late season hunts and especially after a snow event.

I hope it remains. I have some more I hope to put in, probably in the next two years.

Rain just ended at the Ponderosa, 2.10", YTD 26.70" Friend in Dodge had over 4" and still raining earlier in the day. We are wet, Praise the Lord!

Midnight shower dropped 0.10", YTD 24.60" I am not used to this. I was trying to remember when this happened before and my only thoughts are in the '50's, maybe '58 or '59.
