$2.85 an hour not bad wage, when a guy could buy a brand new VW Beetle for $1,999. Think Merle Haggard said it best," When a Man could still work, and still would!"

Oh great…I see you're in Alberta….that means it's coming here next!
asd9055 Better weather is on your way.
We have the BEST WEATHER all year now. The whole summer was RAIN, HUMIDITY & HEAT here in East GA.
NOW-It is Sunny, leaves falling, no humidity to speak of and in the 70s during the day and 40s at night. Could sit in a tree stand from 0600 to 1800 and love every minute!!!!
Bucks are in the RUT!

Texas to good grief.
High tomorrow here is about 82f. Slows the deer movement to a crawl. Vampires they are.
Will be 90F here tomorrow
Our first snow was last week. It melted in a few hours. It's just the five minute warning buzzer.
Or a picture of I-55 in Louisiana today: https://weather.com/news/weather/news/2023-10-23-smoke-fire-fog-new-orleans-visibility
Still have them here in Oregon. I use chains.

I grew up with chains in upstate NY, 2 WD pickups became little more manageable hunting in snow with chains. Still carry for out west, last used them in Oct 2019 2nd rifle in CO to bug out during blizzard. Not sure if I would have gotten out as well. My wife was laughing at me practicing putting them on Ram2500 4x4 in Sept in driveway before trip! I placed bright red zip tie in correct link for adjustment. Really glad I did for putting them on during heavy snow. Easy peasy. Other guys in camp cussing laying under trucks.!
The weather extremes are interesting to read about. It is amazing how people adapt. I'm still waiting on the first good frost here. It makes hunting much more enjoyable when the tick and mosquito population drops down.
I do remember having a set of studded tires for my 66 VW bug. That old VW would just about go anywhere in the snow and ice.

It is here I'd say.
In a somewhat rare turn of events, the provincial capital of Regina, Saskatchewan, has "real winter" before we do, and I live about a 4 hour drive north of them. But this is the picture my aunt sent of what's happening down there this morning. Still snowing too.
Twas a bit chilly walking the kids to school today…not used to this yet haha, gotta toughen up after an unseasonably warm October thus far. This morning it's -10 c or 14 Fahrenheit.
On a serious note, just saw a headline that in Alberta, on account of the icy conditions, there was a school bus rollover. Thankfully no one died. But 6 kids in the hospital with injuries. Something about a school bus rolling just makes me feel sick.

The thing I don't miss, is getting a car that was parked outside prepped to drive anywhere
