HHMMMM!!! I thought a long winter would increase the population. I mean what else do you have to do ?? ( besides tying flies) :-)
Short story (if I don't get too verbose). A long time ago, in a former life (hey, if DonO and Nick can have alter egos, then I can have multiple lives!), I was a national director of the Federation of Fly Fishers. In fact, it's been so long ago it was called Federation of Flyfishermen at the time! Obviously before Political Correctness reared it's ugly head.
One beautiful February morning, I had to call the FFF office, which was at West Yellowstone then. The bouncy secretary and I were chatting. I asked her what the temperature was. She said, "We're have a heat wave. It's clear up to twenty degrees......below zero." I made some comment about "How in the world do you put up with the winters out there?" She retorted, "You can tell by looking at the women in the Spring. They either have black eyes or they're pregnant.............and I'm pregnant!"
