Mrs talked me out of making the trip North!! Didn't take too much convincing!! Below Advisory plus wind chill values as low as zero. North wind 14 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph.
... Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 7 PM this evening to
10 am EST Saturday...
* what... mixed precipitation expected. Plan on difficult travel
conditions. Total snow accumulations of 1 to 2 inches and ice
accumulations of up to one tenth of an inch are expected.
* Where... Sullivan and Columbia counties.
* When... rain will change to a wintry mix between 8 PM and
midnight, then to snow late tonight. Expect the snow to taper
off by late Saturday morning.

I bagged the morning 45 mile drive. We got 6 inches here on top of the ice that fell beforehand. Not worth the risk on largely untreated roads. It is killing me to not go out. I would see some deer today at that farm. Gonna clean up the flintlock for next season then grab my bow and do an afternoon archery hunt close to home.
