An insulated sleeping bag liner, or better yet a vapor barrier liner, can compensate for at least half of the difference. The rest you have to make up with good ground insulation and the clothing you wear to bed. I'm jealous of your evening. Bet the skies were awesome out there last night ! Yes, I am to, that was probably an awesome time! Made it down to 7.4 here about an hour ago, now 8.1 degrees at 8 am. Oops, edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In retrospect not the nicest night for camping, but I did just get a 0F sleeping bag that I wanted to test. Safe to say it doesn't work very well below zero. 2 hours ago, WVclimo said: From my experience camping a lot in the winter, that zero-rated bag is probably good to about 15 degrees.

When I camped in a lean to on the AT below zero in my 0 degree bag, I boiled water and put it in a neoprene bottle and slept with it down by my feet. Works great! I had to do this a few times this past summer for my girlfriend who is always cold when we car camped in Lassen and Crater Lake. Weather ob, it got to about 14 here last night.

Jandurin Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Good idea. Sort of like a water based version of those bags of corn or whatever you heat up in the microwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be interesting to see how long we can stay below freezing and also not rise out of the 20s. Saturday is the only real chance in the next 8 days and, frankly, I just don’t see that happening. Nice cold stretch coming up. Here’s the running tally at the house in Clarksburg: 25Dec H/L: 36.6°F/27.1°F; 26Dec: 28.2°F/15.1°F; 27Dec: 23.9°F/9.8°F I like this kind of stuff. As an aside, I just arrived at the place in VT at 1am last night. The low here was -17°F and the high today is -1°F. Here’s the coldest I saw on the drive up, around 15 miles south of the house: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's got plenty of gas! Yeah, thanks. It's the stupid TPMS system on the vehicle. I put the snow tires/wheels on the car and the recalibration process is so cumbersome, I usually give up. That's GMC for you. On my Audi, it takes like 15 seconds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinsburg has been at 21 the past two obs. Unless there is an intra-hour 22 in there somewhere, today would tie the record. Guess we will see in an hour or so.

I sit in a valley that can really capitalize during prime rad cooling....It can be frustrating during marginal events tho..lol Sometimes I can drive one mile in either direction and see snow accumulating but just white rain at my house.
