Was quite a bit 2 weeks ago, not sure if they got the big snowfall or not. Was getting about 2 inches of floodwater after the holes were drilled.

Yes big snow expected. I've pulled trucks stuck in snow on the ice everyday I've been out the last two weeks.
Have good snow tires and chains then you should be okay.

Thanks guys, after seeing the forecast I think the old Bravo and sleigh will be the way to go. Little colder but at least no getting stuck.

I have 35"Toyo M/C on right now.....a bit worn down......And they did a lot better than others on a lake......a few spots got fun when I stopped.

But this added snowfall willing make things very challenging.
Any more snow and it will be chains and then snowshoes.
Be prepared.....shovels, sand at least.
