I have been holding out on taking the ATV, but it may be the only way to get out I get out on the ice if we get all that snow...man that will wear a guy out fast dragging a sled of gear in eaven 6 inches.  I will do what I must...fish on!

To put this into perspective....I want this to miss and I want the weathermen to be wrong. If we get the ice they are predicting, 10's of thousands of people will be without power for days if not weeks. The last time we had a severe ice storm 68 people in the affected area died. That was with moderate temps in the 40's after the actual storm. If we get the predicted temps with the possibility of over .8 inches of ice and 25 to 35 mph winds they are calling for, it will be ugly for aot of helpless people. Ice fishing is the least of my worries with this storm. For the northern guys....Ok you can deal with 18 inches of snow but throw the 30mph winds for 10 or 12 hours and you can see my concern. Let all of us great fisherman on this site remember our neighbors and all those who will need our help for their basic necessities during this storm. Of course if it turns out to be a dud, then game on and tight lines!

Well said Jigmup. I usually don't buy into the hype of the local weather people, but if we get half of the predicted 1.5 inches of ice, this is gonna get ugly. Especially followed up by single digit temps.

BRING IT ON.  I've got to work all week anyways and I want as much snow as possible on the ground so that when spring comes we get a good meltoff for the rivers

[T.W]

I better get the gas can filled up and ready to turn the generator on.

[fishinfiend]

Looks like it is coming together!!  Could be a nasty storm boys and girls.  If you do have to travel be very carefull out there

[SkeeterJeff]

Worried about the ice and losing power here.  Total electric.  Had the 20# and the 5# tanks filled tonight, and bought another 20# filled just for insurance.  Hope it's not as bad as they say, but we have 1/2" of ice here already.  Started out as freezing rain and turned into ice crystals and it's still coming down.
