Wasn't all that bad when I crossed ... no wind to blow the snow around ... but there were weird optical illusions when everything just blends ... Roland, my friend doing the driving said that one got used to it ... he said that it is better not to look, and use the force (unlike the hollywood stereotypes, Indians do have a sense of humor). And the ice is noisy ... when the ice breaks up or moves around on any lake there is always a lot of noise, from the constant creaking to loud booming. I also made the trip in Summer, on a barge ... much more relaxing.
