Lot of snickering when I stated 70mph wind gusts would accompany this rare situation. Unless I read it wrong I saw a report from Wyoming and Colorado of 35 degree temp drops in one hour . I don’t think we can do that but I do think we can do 18-20 degree drop in 60 minutes Some of us who have been posting for 20 years closely remember our most special winter events. Get ready to put this one in your records to cherish forever 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Descended mount rainier at -20F ambient with thunder snow and lightning BELOW us on the way down. This is downright luxury compared to that lol. Unlike mountaineering...in this case if it gets too gnarly we can just get in the truck and drive home. The current non-mountaineering benchmark we had was 4 days/3 nights snowshoe backpacking at the Dolly Sods where the temp never got above zero the entire trip. This ain't our first rodeo. I got a feeling though that you may assess that this was close to your limit. Please give us a full honest assessment as to that. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 18z hrrr says 1F IMBY early Saturday. I’ll take the over. Any single digit temp would be very impressive without snow cover. February 2019 was the last single digit temp at BWI and that did come with a light snow cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a link to a source that lists what the warning hierarchy is to determine which color we see on the NWS map when multiple warnings/advisories are in place? Like, flash flood and tornado warnings will always be primary, but between a winter weather advisory and a wind chill advisory, for example, which one takes precedence on the map? Thanks in advance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 9 minutes ago, Stormfly said: As warm as you like if you are willing to have a fire either inside or out. 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.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilly05 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 2 hours ago, IronTy said: Leaving at 5am tomorrow morning to get a jump on the weather. Hoping to get the tent up before the cold air slams through which looks to be around 11am-12pm. WSW says wind chills of -35F, it's gonna be an epic campout. One of our game cams transmitted a pic this morning that looked like maybe 4" on the ground already. We're going to try for three nights. Really it depends on how well the dog can handle it. I don’t think you are going to beat the front. Hope you do. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 While we were bickering I think we missed the EURO becoming the snowiest model with the anafront. It's not a lot but we are clearly desperate, lol. Would whiten the ground for some MD folks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our epic pattern might be condensed into 5 minutes of +SN tomorrow, but that's all we could ask for given this past week of trends. An old fashioned snow squall would definitely help brighten the mood, the 18/19 and 14/15 winters had some great ones from what I can remember. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
