mdhokie Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 After a low of 0 it turned out to be a perfect day out in Deep Creek. Blue skies and sunny with just a slight breeze. High of 37F @ 4:30PM. Quite the swing in temps. Wisp actually fixed their water pipe issues and made a ton of snow so it was also a good day on the slopes. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m having admiration fun with you and not At you. What good does the firewood do? I know you use inside tent heat but it’s not firewood. Is this tent something g like 10 feet by 10 feet by 7 feet tall? Thanks We're 42yo and the dog is 1.5yrs old. He's the wimpiest of all of us. Been winter backpacking since I was a kid in 4-H and convinced my wife to go snowshoe backpacking after the blizzard of December-2009 in the Otter Creek Wilderness area in WV. This "glamping" tent is a 13ft diameter White Duck canvas bell tent. Normally for mountain climbing or backpacking where you have to move camp every day or course we'd use a small mountaineering tent. This tent has a stove jack and I run a small Russian Bear Stove inside which is basically just a small aluminum wood stove. So I need firewood for that, and also for the fire pit outside. Stove keeps the interior of the tent about 20 degrees above ambient depending on the wind. It's tedious to keep burning due to its small size and burns out about 2hrs after you fall asleep. But as long as you stay in the mummy bag then you're warm. Today ended up a beautiful day where it appears we got above freezing and no wind. Tomorrow looks to be near 50F and sunny but we have to pack up mid day and make the bittersweet journey back down to the coastal plain and the reality of every day life. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 With an overnight low of just 33F, DCA looks to enter another extended period of temps remaining above freezing in the heart of winter. Unreal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are back next weekend hosting some friends and hope to get some skiing in. All season they have been fighting leaking water pipes and other mechanical issues. Apparently the new GM that was hired in 2019 is a real tightwad. Today was a 11/10 day, no lines, warm temps and sun. All trails have a good base, should make it through the warm week, so you should have fun next weekend! Make sure you purchase tickets in advance in case they sell out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 57 and no wind in Monkton. Working from home today and have patio slider open and front door open to the screen to air the house out a bit. Pretty remarkable mid to late April spring day.

I hear ya, though. Mostly, I just need sunlight. I really don't care for extended cloudy/chilly/windy days...imo, they just make the season drag (especially if it's not balanced out by snowstorms).
