[QUOTE="Hawgeye, post: 79363, member: 2041"] Big Windy is a lady you don't mess with. Bring enough supplies to last the night, mainly propane! I've been there with 25MPH winds that will turn visibility to zero in a heartbeat. I can't imagine what 40+ MPH will do out there. When you are 5-10 miles out, better have a good GPS to guide you back....throw in a few pressure ridges and things get hair pretty quickly. The last year or two when there hasn't been much snow, people forget how that lake can get nasty in a hurry. Travel in groups, plenty of supplies and respect what the weather is doing. Snowmobiles for me, tracked vehicle if I had one and have never driven my truck out there....even when it is nice, the rough conditions will beat the bejeezus out of your truck...not worth it. The good news is that it will keep some of the fisherman off that don't worship the walleye! Only the real prepared outdoorsman will be out now, I am good with that! Can't wait, just over 3 1/2 weeks to venture out on that beautiful lady, BIG WINDY! [/QUOTE]
