      I've been looking at them for a while Stu, it will test the refractors... :cheesy:

      No doubt great performers.  Shame they don't cover 3.5-5.5mm range. 

  7. jetstream

    5 more days of snow to go... at least its warm, -20c seems to be the minimum for now.

    1. scarp15

      scarp15

      Yet more snow Gerry, expect that you will be continuing to ploughing your road access, unless a snowmobile has become the only means of getting around. Perhaps a settled period of clear skies will follow. Strengthening winds and snow forecast here for at least northern UK.

    2. faulksy

      faulksy

      and the weather is coming from your neck of the woods gerry :icon_biggrin:

    3. jetstream

      jetstream

      Your welcome for the weather guys :grin:

      Yes I just got done ploughing with the ATV, its fun actually. The lake is a big slush hole so no fishing yet.

  8. jetstream

    A crisp -33c with the wind chill atm, great lunar seeing.

    1. Stu

      Stu

      That sounds a bit brisk Gerry! Brrrrrrrrr. ;) 

      Sounds like it is helping the seeing though, have fun out there!

      I'm yet to experience that cold in my lift up here in lat 57°

    3. jetstream

      This is a bit early for this after very warm late fall, it should be interesting in Jan and Feb. This cold blast was from air spilling out of the -80c deg polar vortex or polar cyclone.  It was only -27c without the wind so far, I remember -42F (no wind) as a child and with the wind...

  9. jetstream

    Rain, sun,and now clear- I hope it stays this way for tonights neb hunting

      Nice day today, warm and great seeing. Yes the "Ice box of the nation" is right across the crick and we usually manage the snow. Frost last year was over 8' deep, many water lines froze including mine....
