Lucky me, I planned most of next week off months ago. Looks like gale warnings and rain coming for the upper Great Lakes region.

Or treestands LOL. Luckliy I hunt on the ground. Wed looks the worst in my area, with possible gusts in the mid 40 mph's. If a deer actually presents a shot, I don't have to worry about it hearing me. LOL

I think the horizontal rain is tuesday and thursday.

My feathers are infused with Hairline Watershed, so they be the only thing that stays dry.

Try running a tugboat in that kind of weather.  They are saying that the low could be the lowest pressure ever recorded in Chicago.  If you don't need to be out in the blow don't go.

My desire for anything extreme wonders what kind of ride we'd get in a tree stand on a day like this.   :saywhat:

I'm actually going out for the afternoon, up by Big Rapids. The main front with the violent storms just blew thru the Rockford area.

Frankly, by watching all the TV coverage, it looks like you guys got the rough stuff down by Hastings.

It's nice here, for now. First wave of rain is over and maybe 15mph winds.

It looks like around 5pm it's going to be 20-25mph and some rain.

I'll be hunting on the ground.

The big winds are still coming later tonight and tomorrow.
