We are suppose to be going up there on the 1st, but the talk of this snowstorm bothers me, I don't own a sled and out of the 8 guys that are going there is only 2 sleds.. we have bout 6 wheelers though..... can some one tell me after this storm goes throuhg if it is going to be pointless to bring wheelers? Is anyone going to have a road plowed out the a reef spot that we cn access by vehicle after this storm?<BR>or will we have to go to pine island area and hope for the best....<BR>one more thing.. anyone having luck at twin islands?

Ethan,<P>The forcast for Saturday is MAYBE and inch<BR>of snow, for Sunday maybe some snow and<BR>it will be windy.<P>Not that it cant happen BUT there is no <BR>winter storm in the forecast (no talk of<BR>accumulation).<P>Now, if it does storm I will be called on<BR>the carpet but it doesnt look bad for the<BR>weekend at this point<P>------------------<BR>Curt Quesnell<BR>NorthCountry Outdoors Radio

Don't worrie about the storm, use the access at Morris Point Resort. Their right on the south end of the lake with a plowed access and you just drive out 1/4 mile to get in 23 ft of water. Happy rod bending<p>[This message has been edited by Paul Waldowski (edited 01-26-2004).]

The storm that was forcast for the weekend, is no longer a storm, just snow showers, and some wind on Monday. No worries. I am going up tomarrow, was worried a few days ago, but not now. The weather forcasts are pretty reliable out to about 3 days, past that they become more of a guess. Enjoy the anticipation, and then the fishing, if it does snow, the resorts will plow.

ethan77: I wouldn't worry about any snow coming, they keep the plows running as it snows. If you get into trouble, most of the resorts will get you off the ice if need be. Thats why I keep my Marine radio or cell phone with me on the ice. There is a lot of benifits to paying the road fee, $5 is cheap for a clear road on and off the ice.... Kaz

WEll thanks guys foe that info.. I just did not want ot get up there and all of a sudden the four wheelers are useless. WE plan aon going out of arnesons or some where in that area to get us out to the flats.. i hope the weather holds out for us... thanks again guys you are the best

You'd better watch the weather closely, they just issued a Winter Storm Watch!

I second that notion. This storm may not produce the snow expected earlier in the week , but the winds will produce near zero visability in open areas. Keep tuned to local media outlets.

Pulled up NOAA out of Grand Forks and it doesn't appear as if the amount of snow is as much a factor as the wind. Looks to taper off starting on Sunday into Monday, but windes 22-33mph. Something to keep an eye on and travel with caution. Bill

Its really my fault, I plan to travel to<BR>Browns Valley this weekend to visit the <BR>folks thats why SOMETHING has to happen<BR>with the weather.<P>Keep an eye on the weather and the post<BR>about Morris Point was right, very close<BR>in fishing there.<P>Have a good and safe weekend all<P>------------------<BR>Curt Quesnell<BR>NorthCountry Outdoors Radio
