I really don't trust any of the forecasts, even NWS, until a day or two before.

yeah, i agree. even w/ the understanding they have & the records to see, they are just making an educated guess about what those systems are going to do.
i'm like you, the closer the forecast to the event, the better chance they have at getting it right... or close<g>.

Glad to see the cold was up there for you guys too. My thermometer reached it's min temp of 9.7 deg in the Gooch Mountain Shelter in GA 2 nights ago on my last night out. Hopefully next year I can make it.

Yeah so I need to learn how to read a calender. I was thinking the campout was last weekend and not this coming weekend. I will try and make it but it is too early to tell for sure.

Hope to see you, Nate! I'm still planning on going, but with traveling this week I gotta see what work has for me when I get back.

I'd rather have sub-30/snow than mid-30s/rain. Man, 37 and raining is no fun!

Boy, isn't that the truth....... And can make for some nasty road conditions as it dips back down below freezing......

If it is 30's and raining I will be doing my usual sipping on sweat tea (the container the sipping beverage was repackaged in) in the shelter zero day.
