As mikey said the snow can be a pain in the butt pulling a bunch of gear across the ice gets to ya after a while so you might want to fish close to where you get on. you should have good waterproof boots as the snow is wet when you drill a hole the water comes up through the hole and makes slush around the hole. you will have less problems as the snow refreezes however. The ice will be thicker and you better have sharp blades or your day is going to be a long one good luck and be safe.
