Just got on for a bit to "work the boys". Mostly just called CQ in fresh meat mode.
The band seemed really noisy overall. I guess the winter storms in the Midwest were probably to blame.
Very "binary" conditions - It seemed there were only two signal strengths: S9 +20 or just above the noise. Some NC stations were almost inaudible at the same time that W0s would be very loud. Not sure how that even happens on 160!

I hope the ice stays away from your antennas! WX here was freaky - 80 degrees during the day on Friday, and 36 for the high on Saturday and Sunday.

73,
