[Mudcutter]

Work for a weather firm in des moines,IA. Will be fishing LOTW this weekend. Strong possibilty of major storm affecting the area starting on Sat. Not to get anybody's shorts in a bunch, but if coming from a long distance- be prepared.

Mudcutter: I just pulled the NOAA weather service for the area around LOTW. They are talking possible snow. Are you able to pick up any specifics yet regarding amounts? I'm set to leave on Sunday morning 500am. thanks, Bill

Mudcutter,<BR> Can you keep us updated on this, I am heading up on the 26th, hoping to get home next Sunday night, 7 hour drive, in good weather. Thanks for the heads up.

bturck, gilliweed- all<BR>I would rather not get into specifics on this forum for various reasons, namely being I don't want to personally affect someone's fishing trip etc. Also- it's a long ways away. But the potential exists this late weekend for snow/wind event in N. Plains. For those interested parties, here is the web site for the weather service out of Grand Forks, ND which is the forecast office for LOTW. <A HREF="http://www.crh.noaa.gov/fgf/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.crh.noaa.gov/fgf/</A> Stay tuned to them. Updated forecasts are put out around 4am and 4pm. <BR> Bturck-gilliweed, you may e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll give you what I think.<BR>

for those traveling long distance and those going out to the reefs on Sat afternoon-- pay attention to the forecast.

Work for the Weather Service in Sioux Falls, SD. Agree with Mudcutter about the storm. My trip to LOW is on the 29th, but am so concerned about the storm, we're planning on leaving Saturday to try to get out ahead of it. Right now (and things can change obviously) it looks like a quite impressive storm. Never fails. The weatherman goes fishing and the weather doesn't cooperate. To saty abreast of the weather go to the Grand Forks Weather Service page that Mudcutter refers too. Good Luck everyone!

Bloody Stump-<P>leave your cell# on my e-mail.<BR>don't forget those ice stakes for the fish house. Hopefully the tent holds up under all the snow and wind.

We're planning on driving from Mankato to LOW by Sunday afternoon, but we're staying in Duluth Saturday night. From what I've seen of weather reports, it looks like it has the potential to slow us down a bit, but we're still going to make it there as planned.
