-25 here in Bath NH I'm trying to stay positive and think if it gets this cold maybe the deer ticks won't be so bad this summer

We bottomed out at -18*F just at sunrise. It was -15*F at 6am.

Last summer we had a very long warm dry spell locally. Ticks, mosquitoes and black flies were hardly to be found. The deer fly were thick though. They aren't repelled much by DEET.

The white footed mice (lyme disease tick co-host with deer) were numerous and we have had quite a few deer hanging around since hunting season began. Not a good combination.

That my friends, is a 57 degree rise in two days. Yessir, we are havin' a heat wave, a tropical heat wave. It's all relative, indeed, but I am rather enjoying it!! Where's my Hawaiian shirt, honey?

Trim your hood with Wolverine fur. It doesn't frost up.:thumbsup:

Egon, my USAF/SAC "issue"cold weather flying jacket, AKA parka had the hood trimmed in Wolverine and the longer "guard" hairs let you look out with the hood drawstring pulled nearly shut. That let your exhalations temper your inhalations so if you didn't exert yourself to the point of huffing and puffing (hyperventilation) you didn't frostbite your lungs, cough up pink foam, collapse, and die.

When PETA comes up with something better we can give the wolverine population a break, meanwhile I vote for wolverine.
