Nov.1st to march 31st, we get anything from +10-60's...a few yrs back i had to walk to work in minus 64 to turn an aircraft then walk the 4 miles home. The plane only shut one engine down while i unloaded and reloaded within 3-5 minutes. Then slid everything into the hangar. Was colder around the plane then walking to and from work. Man the rain must suck. I never had to trap in rainy conditions bet it can drag, usually in the spring once the suns up and shining i quit traps altogether and use only snares. Hate it when a nice bedded trap sticks out like a sore thumb!
