Default Anyone else hunting in the snow?

This friday I plan on going hunting after classes. In southwest michigan where I hunt at we have about 2 inches of snow on the ground at the moment and I am not sure of what to expect for Friday. Is anyone else hunting with snow on the ground and are you seeing much at all?

Yep, can see them from a long way, but they can also see your profile in the tree ALOT easier. If you have a couple stands set, hunt the one with more cover for your profile (if wind allows), cause they can pick out your movement easier.
