You need to do a "trial pack" to see if you can get enough warmies in
your kayak. You should also camp out once or twice in winter without
the kayak, just to get the hang of it.

On the other hand, if the weather is below zero, where are you going to
find enough open water? I can't imagine dragging a boat over the ice
jumble at the edge of Lake Michigan.

The big problem is that your margin of error goes to near zero. I
assume you will wear a wet suit. Hypothermia sets in quickly, and can
occur wet or dry.
