The water wasn't that bad last weekend so you're probably ok if you have a thicker wetsuit. Cover your head, you can loose a lot of heat off your noggin. I am assuming you have a slick skinned wetsuit.

Also, always prepare for the worst. Minimize your float in if something happen by not going too far out. Ride with others.

I hate to be a pessimist but there doesn't seem like that much wind in the forecast. What are you looking at? The isobars do look decent though.

I kite was showing some light wind But they have been way wrong for the last 4 weekends and the isobars are looking decent. other than that I just noticed every other forecst has died

my wet is not slick skinned so super cold in the wind

well... it's only about 7 hours to bismarck ND, lots of snow there
with 4 people and a van it wouldn't be to much gas money

how much snow is 2-4 inches of water equivilent?

I'd be all over it, cept I'm heading out of town for the weekend. Someone go and grab that first session of the year. Nothing quite like that first session. The " oh year, I remember this" sensation.

ride on

I was out on WBL last night in a 3/2 and perfectly fine in the water, but getting out sucked!

I think I'll be up on Milly Sunday at least depending how cold it is and the wind conditions, I love riding light winds anyway and want to get my big machine 20.5 out and I'd like to give the 21 nemesis a shot to!!

on south winds we sail from ready creek. reddy is a couple of miles east of wealthwood on 18 or a couple of miles west of malmo
it is looking like garrison might be the call that is if the wind is SE but it is forcasted to switch straight south on sat
ready is just a sand road along the beach and is easy to miss if no other kiters are present

Im not sure how much 2-4 inches of rain is, but i do know that at my house we got over 6.5 inches after that whole storm, and they said that if it was like 15 degrees colder it would have been 7-10 FEET of snow!!!!
