Any predictions for what the weather will be this year?
personally i see way more action when there's a decent amount of snow on the ground. im hoping well get at least a little bit on the ground this year and enough for it not to all melt by 10am.
seen alot of wasps making nests in the ground, also read somewhere thats a indication of a harsh winter.
There’s no hard and fast rule that stipulates what weather conditions are best. During our deer hunt in November of 1999, the weather was so mild that you could hunt in a T-shirt in the afternoon. We shot 6 bucks in 3 days and could of shot more. Having said that, it stands to reason that very warm temps should curtail daytime deer movement.
According to climatologists, an El Niño weather pattern is supposed to establish this year which could impact temperatures and precipitation. The impacts on a specific area can vary between El Niño events so we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
According to The Weather Network, much of Ontario is supposed to experience an October chill followed by above normal temperatures for the reminder of the year. Long range forecasts are developed from observations of past weather and mathematical algorithms, so not an exact science:
I used to hunt the second week as it was always colder. If we got say a foot of snow, 2 days later you could use a bat to get them, but if it stayed brown you had to hunt just the local deer.
Well according to the weather network and ElNino they are expecting a lot of snow and storms for the eastern half of Canada this year from Windsor east so you wish may come true
Old timers are calling for a harsh winter but that's not the Fall season, I'm in 90B near the lake and have seen it all but a good frost to drop the leaves beforehand and the farmers clearing the corn fields is all I ask for.
Its all about the temperature swings that seem to get things in motion IMO.
It's all relative of course. But for an example...a 5 day high of 15 degrees, then a drop to a high of 9 degrees might just be enough to spur some movement
Earth is going through a warming period (of which there have been many), the reading I have done expects that to continue for another 100 years. As such the temperature, on average, will be slightly warmer each year than the previous.

A First Nations buddy of mine said this year's winter would be a bad one because all the white guys were stacking wood like crazy. :joker:
im predicting 17 degrees and sunny to start nov 6 in southern ontario, then sleet and 2 the next day, then snow the next morning followed by 20 degree weather that evening. I usually end the week sick as a dog anyways for some reason...

a 7 day forecast is pretty useless, let alone a forecast 2 weeks ahead. I wouldn't be counting on any weather predictions.. which is why I don't trust these so-called climate models that predict the end of the world due to climate change. They have been proven very wrong (just look it up!)
Weather forecasting is fairly reliable about 2 or 3 days out. That's about it. Been tracking this for decades and this is what I have found.

How then all those freeloaders would make a living if there would be no climate models to prove their theories:ashamed:
Longer term forecasts are based on mathematical models and historical data. In fact, they predict behaviours (temp/precipitation) of weather systems that haven’t even formed yet. They have value for illustrating potential trends over larger areas but, I agree with you, they are not reliable for local forecasts.Quote:

I guess that's why they call it a "weather prediction" and not a "weather guarantee" ? LoL ! With the use of supercomputers and tons of past info fed into them they can only produce data based on the latest data put in, right ? Change one little thing and you get a whole new prediction but I will work with that because as the old saying goes; Forewarned is forearmed !
Here in 90B it looks like 8 or 9c daytime highs with 6 or 7c nights and fairly dry/sunny for our Controlled Deer Hunt.
Red skies in the morning sailers take a warning lol.
The local day to day has been horrible as of lately go to bed supposed to be sunny the next day and wake up to rain. Wacked .

They are calling for more normal Temps for the next little bit that should get the deer moving. . They must just use the trends as I read an article that said it would be cooler then past years but relatively to normal temperatures lol.
Maybe some snow for some north of the snow belt is its wet out.

love hunting in snow. wearing whites makes it so much more fun and easier to get whatever you are hunting, except turkey.
Out in Smiths falls, Use to live in mississauga and had access to a prime 100 acre farm to hunt up in dundalkQuote:

Have mentioned in another thread that I have noticed (anecdotally, on my cams at least) that we're seeing more previously unseen bucks over the past couple of days. I have a "doe hole" stand that had no bucks visiting all October but they're now starting to show up following the does loosely. Movement is up, no daylight movement zombies yet but it's starting I'd say
I’m heading out to deer camp on Friday. There’s already a 3-4” of snow on the ground. The forecast is calling for temps near freezing. Snow is nice for hunting, but I don’t like it when it gets cold… especially if it’s windy. Good luck to all that are out or heading out soon.
Was in the area of my camp today and swung by for quick scout at about 11 am. About 1/2 inch dusting of snow overnight:
