[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]OK, if Mystic Minnow’s willing to predict ice-up 5 weeks out, is anyone willing to hazard a guess on the next 24 hours? I routinely use the NOAA super-duper weather page, and as of their 4 AM forecast, they’ve actually bumped this to a snow warning instead of an advisory. From their wording, I can’t tell what time Sunday morning the front is below northern Utah, but it seems like around 5A.[/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Since this whole boat thing is new to me, tomorrow will be my first drive on 40 in possibly bad conditions.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I prefer to fish Strawberry instead of J-nelle because I think the weather change will mean the bass-bite is off.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]My planned departure time puts me in Parley’s at 6:30 A, and outside of Heber at 7. [/size][/font][font "Times New Roman"][size 3]UDOT’s Commuter Link is really a great tool, and there are cameras on 80 to almost Heber. But I don’t know how good they are before dawn. And after Heber, I’m on my own.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I’m betting UDOT will have 40 plowed, particularly since it’s opening weekend of the hunt. But if it snows between plow runs…[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]But maybe the bigger concern should be the road to the Strawberry Marina, and ramp conditions. My 4WD sits on big tires on 10” wide wheels, and loves to slide around on a slick surface.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]So, am I fishing tomorrow, or am I doing laundry???[/size][/font]
