Post by: Marty on January 27, 2010, 08:50:00 AM: Call me crazy- but I'm leavin 70 degrees to come hear Joey talk about turkeys he's missed and Monty talk about bears he's killed and to get the Wensel fella's to sign a book and see Jerry Brumm and whoever else might be around. Deer season is over and I'm bored. Oh yeah- almost forgot- The one and only Biggie is driving up from Ga. just to see me!! What a guy!!

It's not too bad. The side roads are a little icy but nothing major on the mains. The wind has been blowing pretty good.

Cloudy Fri and Sat with a 30% chance of snow on Sunday. All in all I would say it's going to be about the mildest driving conditions there has been in a few years.
Bring some warm clothes along though, it's going to be a high of 23 degrees. A break down in the cold could be very unpleasant. :eek:

I'll be at the St. Joe booth, stop and say hi!!
