Winter Hanging 2015-2016

How's everybody making out with there winter hangs so far???
How low have you been down to..... sqeaked a few -15c temps so far with the new 0* quilts

Heading out soon for a about 6km walk to a hang spot with a view....with temps heading for the plus side in the coming week I might as well get a taste beyond the backyard(well it is my backyard (crown land)..just a 6km walk or so) before the wet sets back in next week.
-4c now and suppose to be -10c tonight but having my doubts unless the skies clear off ....Forecasting for this area is done with darts..seriously

Heading out next week and will have some GREAT winter conditions. Should be a good 10"+ of snow. Finally! And some single digit lows. Finally! Ready to knock the dust off the snowshoes.

Still debating between a few spots in MI. The winner will depend on who has the most snow/coldest temps. Highs above 30 isn't "winter" at all for me, so I'm happy now

Spot on Mark....Warms up here so expect cold there.
Oh I will be using my winter moc's for this hike so will give you a further update on performance considering temps but snow is very dry here so far.

Winter storm watch just issued

Lake effect snow machine should continue to produce beyond that. Hello fresh snow!

A little rant: We've been keeping decent weather records for maybe 135 years now. I don't believe we can blame the global warming thing based on the past 10, 50, or even 100 years when the Earth is 4.5 BILLION years old. The simple quote says it best: the only constant in life is change.

I don't like that it has to be a political thing. If you want to reduce pollution, do it because it's simply the RIGHT THING to do. Not because your buddy owns a solar cell manufacturing plant, or your cousin has 20,000 acres of corn to sell for an extra $.01 if it goes into gas instead of food.

I guess I have 2016-2017 to look forward to

Well, not to get political either, but in the last year 97% of all peer reviewed scientific papers that stated a position on climate change said that it was happening faster than natural cycles can account for. I won't debate with you, though As long as you are already in favor of reducing pollution, you are an ally, no matter what you believe!

I always wanted to mess with one, but I'm just too lazy. Wait...that doesn't really make sense Not calling pulk users lazy, but hopefully you get the idea.

It sure would be nice to haul more water instead of melting snow. I just don't enjoy that very much.

Ok, I'm done complaining about a weak winter after reading this headline:

Next week's snow will be measured in feet in parts of Michigan

Knocking the dust off the snowshoes...

Here's hoping you get snowshoe depths......not likely see it here this winter.

Couple pics from last nights hang

Rain today, and slush everywhere. I thought we finally got to winter last week with the snow storm, which was our first real snowfall of the season. My new 0˚ Zepplin has been shipped, and I'm eager to get out there. I guess we'll see....
