Just my 2 cents here, but if it does rain, I don't expect it to be that heavy...that being said a light drizzle in the air = dampness which could make for discomfort I suppose. But I doubt any rain fall will result in major drenching. I have a good feeling about this weekend, betting on minimal weather.
I don't put much faith in weather predictions either, but just FYI, accuweather is calling for a quarter inch of ice Friday night.
I'm still on the fence, but won't be showing up Thursday. Friday maybe. It will be a last minute decision.
Ooooh baby! That ice sounds kinda exciting actually.
NWS seems to agree: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick...3.814697265625
Freezing rain 100%...BOOM! I'm probably thinking the same as 3club...we'll see
I've seen many things in life that looked exciting, but common sense and good parental advice have saved me so far.Originally Posted by markr6
LOL, can't argue with that!
This forecast is truly INSANE. 4 types of precip and hovering around the freezing mark...anything can happen! I never had such a hard time selecting my gear. I'm trying to lighten up, but I think I'll still stick with some warmer clothing and bag just to be safe. I usually find a misty 35° and 95% humidity much colder than a dry 20°.

Like TZ said, just pack everything in the car. There's really no reason not to bring ALL your gear. That's my plan. Bring extra day clothes, extra whiskey, beer, the important stuff.
Except I think I'll leave the solar panels at home.
Hell yeah let's do this thing!! All ready to go...brought out the big pack!
i am still going.last year at the wi hang this same weekend as this hang,it drizzled all day fri and all the snow melted.by sat night it was back down to 12 deg with about 30+ mph winds.we had a great time wind sailing on the lake with our tarps and pulks.

Actually I have an ice boat out in the barn but it would be more fun to improvise . Plus it is a tad heavy .
Curran: Currently -10, tomorrow high +33, that's a 43 degree change in one day! You'll be able to watch the thermometer rise.
