March, 2009 roars in ! Artifact surface hunters north of the Red River are dealing with more snow .

Austin TX is at the north boundary line of a very severe drought. Okay for diggers but very bad for everyone else, including creek surfacers !

Now the GOOD NEWS.....The local Austin news station has been showing charts that prove the Pacific waters are steadily warming and that indicates a huge shift / reversal of current WX trends [ worldwide, not just CENTX ]

A very WET fall / winter similar to 2007 is being predicted. Almost ALL major dry spells in TX in the past have ended with a huge flood.. . . So, with the dust devils swirling, , , They are airing " how to deal with flood conditions "

Over and over, , and over , , , , ,and over , , , , ,

Went to the deer lease yesterday,all the springs were still running as usual, keeping the creeks flowing. Luckily we have gotten a little rain, so far I've had to cut the grass twice , but I've heard that we're 4-5" below normal on rainfall. Went thru Ike last fall, still trees down and blue tarps everywhere,don't need anymore like that.Hope the rest of the state gets it's share of rain this year.Hey Hal, I'm getting on a deer lease near Vance Texas , wonder how the point hunting might be!

Great looking Keithville!

That is a great looking point, Glad Mike put a name on it !

Rob, if thats the Vance just North of Camp wood, Your in the Platinum circle [ one notch up from gold ]
Just plot the existing pay digs with their reported great finds on your lease map !

Be very nice to your property owner, the best treasures have to be dug !

At least in part, to mention the weather that started off this posting. . .
There are some people reading this that wont be going to school this morning due to deep snow !
