Predator hunting is fairly popular in areas of the north during this time of year, a sporting event where hunters can register to hunt for a period of days and bring in all the animals they harvest for the competition. http://bit.ly/2Db1wZW

The deep freeze has many Americans hibernating inside their homes hoping to stay warm as temperatures dip into the negatives.

Why would anyone want to go ice fishing? It can be bitter cold. And windy. I’ll tell you why, because if they’re biting it can be fun. And, you can have fresh fish in the winter! http://bit.ly/2RvllFl

Winter storms (and their warnings) seem to grow more alarming each and every year. When you start hearing terms like bomb cyclone and how they could wreak havoc on impacted areas, you know things are serious. http://bit.ly/2EZHLHb
