IUsedToHateCold Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 2 minutes ago, IronTy said: To be fair we have about $10k worth of extreme cold weather mountaineering equipment. 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. Awesome! Should be a blast then. Have fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below 0 temps all throughout the Plains and into the Midwest behind the front. Yea that front is legit. It's rare to experience temp drops like this east of the Mississippi so it's going to be neat to see. Hopefully we can mange an inch of snow with this flip. Might help us really bottom out. 26 minutes 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. That's seriously amazing. That's some John Muir level of outdoorsmanship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 HRRR seems to have a tiny bit of snow for some of us tomorrow. I haven't seen a single flake yet and it's almost Christmas so seeing some snow fall from the sky for a half hour or hour tomorrow would be a win at this point in my book. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
