On the flipside, I remember an opener in the early 2000's, that the temp was over 60! Could have hunted in a t shirt. This was in east central WI.

High of 14 degrees, winds 15-20 mph, wind chills below zero and about 3 inches of new snow on the ground opening morning up north. :D Plan on sitting all day as usual so I better bundle up. A thermos of hot cocoa will hit the spot mid-day.

Sounds like a good day to test out a Heater Body Suit. Too bad I didn't buy one yet! :doh:

It will be a chilly one with the winds, but I kinda like the wind for the cover noise. My 14 year old son and I will be set up in a funnel tight between two bedding areas. He's at that ackward stage where he could make noise doing nothing, so the more cover noise the better. I have already been informed that he will be "borrowing" my Heater Body Suit, but if I can get him to sit all day, it's worth it. Good luck to all, be safe, and have fun. If any Beasts are hunting Pierce county near Ellsworth and want to stop in my camp to BS, have a few beers or a warm meal. Shoot me a PM and I'll get you my cell number.

1" of snow ice bottom on the ground in rhinelander right now. Roads are slippery. Calling for a total of 3" tonight. Just hope the snow isn't too crunchy by Saturday.

Looking good for opening weekend.
