and snow is projected mixed wit sleet...the temp is not going to go over 30...and i am doing an overnight...(tomorrow)

am i nuts? my wife says yes, TexasTony calls me a dumba$$, and J williams says i am an idiot.

well those are all more than likely true..but i am doing it anyway...;)
 
30 Fahrenheit? That's what, barely freezing? About -1 Celcius? Geez, that's not cold, not even chilly by my standards! :p ;) Sounds to me like excellent winter weather, although on the warm side for winter. If you like being out during the winter, I say go for it. I love the woods in winter. Nice and quiet. But if you're not used to it, bring all the warm clothes you can carry. :D

Hey Elen, amen on that!!! Sounds like a long sleeve t-shirt and sweat pants. Long sleeve only for the wind.:thumbup:
 
An overnight? You won't even have time to get cold in 30 deg weather! Do it, it'll be fun.
 
I see all you blokes are from COLD A$$ climates anyway.......

just like i say 103 and 90% humidity aint hot its just warm...:thumbup:

the wind is blowing 20mph though...nice windchill...
 
Have fun bro and take plenty of pics !!!

Ps. Best stick a long sleeve flannel shirt in the kit, it sounds like it might be a little cool !
 
This thread reminds me of that Monty Python sketch with the Yorkshiremen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe1a1wHxTyo .

"You call that cold? We used to dream of 30 degrees - would have been a sauna to us ..." :D

Have a fun outing langston302! Take pictures.

And try to enjoy that balmy southern climate ...

All the best,

- Mike

No, no you don't. I am fine with it warm.

Your trip sounds fun though. I haven't gone out in the cold in a couple of years and I would love to go out this weekend but I have to go Christmas shopping with the ball and chain(my pet name for the girlfriend).
