Tent is up! -3F and it says wind chill is -26F right now. Wood stove is starting to pump out some heat but the tent is still well below freezing apparently. On and off snow showers with sun peaking through from time to time.
-
Heavy snow and road has caved. 13F heading into Grantsville.
-
I concur. Just west of cumberland and it's down to 25F, very windy and moderate snow.roadsnhavent caved yet but as we get west maybe that'll change. Meadow mtn now down to 7F
-
Front appears to be passing Cumberland right now. It's getting really windy and the temps are bouncing up and down 5F depending on which pass we're driving through. Meadow mountain at 9F
-
We're on 68 right now. Weather says it's 14F and heavy snow on meadow mtn. Guess the front already went through, it was 33F about an hour ago. 37F and rain on the highway right now.

Ah geez.

Lmao, well played.

My wood stove is going full blast right now . Unfortunately so is my heat pump. Just can't win.

I won't lie, I've heard a few "Stoooorrrmmmtracker" moans in the night. Really hurts my feelings but I understand, a Midwestern boy can only offer so much.

Hey my wife just fired a CEO last week. Thought you'd like to know. She kicked some dude out and is replacing with a woman as we speak.

No beef, just ribbing you. I love the word capitulate, any chance to use it I take it. Didn't mean to cause any upset.

I'll say 30 hail Marys for your soul tonight Tezeta.

Wait are you in Howell, MI? I grew up in Novi. Our CC and Track teams generally kicked your guy's ass. Sorry. I'm heading back up there for a wedding in January. I hope it's cold and snowy.

You ever play that videogame Lemmings around y2k?

PWNED.

Hey didn't you have a blowout last winter and storm off at some point and have to come back and capitulate? Or was that the year before?
-
Discob down here in Huntingtown, 44F and heavy rain. Pretty miserable but no wind and it's not all that cold so I guess it could be worse. Got the wood stove cranking.
-
Oh well, seen worse. Number one rule of setting up camp on the mountain....whatever you do, don't let go of your sleeping bag until it's in the tent. And thus the trip endith... ETA, talked to my wife....now we're gonna leave at 4am based on your Intel. Thank you!!!!

Gonna be tight. If we leave at 5am and traffic on the beltway isn't a mess then we will be on top of the mtn at 9am. 20mins to set up the tent...depends on which model I'm hugging. Windy and 30F is a lot easier than windy and 10F so we'll see... Be sure as long as I have cell service there'll be updates lol.

We run a small wood stove inside this particular tent and as long as you keep on top of it I'd say a good 30F warmer than ambient can be expected. In this particular case the biggest concern will be keeping the tent standing in the wind. We will be using 18" rebar stakes and also lasso the upwind guy lines to large fieldstone that is all over the area. And if worse comes to worse we hop in the truck and head home! One benefit vs real mountaineering....

Woohoo, weather throwdowns. Has the southeast ridge been sighted yet? I'll be looking out yonder from the mountain top to see if I can spot it OTH through the blizzard.

Benson has his long underwear ready too.
