Was just getting ready to say the same thing!
At least the winds are still forecast to be reasonable.
Keep the coffee pot going in the lodge then
I'll bring a propane heater and my ice fishing auger . We'll be OK.
It's that polar vortex they been talkin' about. We been havin' a frickin freezin time up here.
Brrrr for sure. Thursday looks brutal with those winds. Friday afternoon into Saturday with calm winds:

It's the wind that will push the cold clear thru to the bone......only way for me to stay warm as can be is to put a plastic rainsuit on over other outerwear to stop the wind from coming thru.....works for me most of the time.....hot thermos of coffee is a must for days like that....I will think mighty hard before facing that 21 to 37 deg......
I'll go on an say it. I will not fish in colder than 35 degrees or cold rain. I don't have the clothes for it or the desire. I don't like real cold. If possible will still try to get in a couple hours Friday and a few Saturday.
good plan......and, this is gonna be "real cold".......long boat rides will be tough......so I will be very close by the launch......Quote:

I Faced Conditions like that once in Jacksonville Florida. There was A winter storm that blew in, an Ice and snow storm. The Comp. I worked for was A 365 day opperation. Our shift started at 7 pm to 7 am. At midnight 3 of the 4 Bridges across the River had been closed. Leaving only one open. ---- The supervisors Refused to call upper Managment -- At 3:30 Water Pipes in the Sprinkler system frozen For hours started falling everywhere in the plant and Wearhouses. When the boilers ran out of water and the plant shut down an hour before we were to go home Someone finally decided to call the plant manager !!!! The last Brigge was closed also by then. I had to walk the 6 miles home across one of the frozen Bridges in the snow storm.... I put on all 7 long sleeve uniforms, Thermals,, Boots, and a winter jacket with a hood. I put on safety Glasses and a clear Face shield that covered my whole face... The only cars moving were front wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. Half way home I stoped and got a cup of coffee. Thats where I messed up. My snow melted then Refroze so stiff I couldnt hardly move. My Face shield Fogged over then froze making vision limited. I had been warm untill I got the coffee... Yall be safeWhite Flag Icon
I bet we all have a large time no matter what the weather does
I'll be there and I'll be fishing as long as it isn't pouring down raining and the wind blowing me off the lake.

plan on leaving at noon tomorrow....
It's 1:30AM in Broaddus TX and whiter than white all over the place and coming down. I think I'll drag my feet a little in the morning before heading over to visit the Toledo Bend Bunch. Those of you that are set to fish, good luck and be safe. Ferdi
