Just for laughs...checking the weather in advance is not very useful!Originally Posted by markr6
Did you see the latest?? Approaching stupid cold!! Lots of snow showers next week. I'm pumped!
About 0°F Friday and Saturday night when we're hanging. COLD!
p.s. I am 99% certain I will be stacking my underquilts now! Also bringing some hand warmers to throw in my boots in the morning.
Hey Vince you can leave the bug cabin home I think.
I just got a job interview after work Thursday! Bad news, that puts me heading up on Friday. I was looking forward to hiking in the dark. I still could, but it would be more like 1AM. Also kinda depressed about the weather
50/50 right now...I'm very flaky!
Yeah Im not crazy about the weather either but in for a penny in for a pound I guess . Just calls for light wintry mix on Saturday so not too horrible . Fri pretty decent and then Sun partly sunny I think . Should be worth it . Im a little worried about the hike but Ive been lightening up now with the warmer temps .
Actually Accuweather ( my new favorite weather forecaster ) does not predict any precipitation now .

Is anybody else planning on coming up Thursday?
Friday forecast: Sleet and freezing rain in the evening; considerable clouds with a bit of rain, some freezing late
OUCH! Saturday looks much worse:
Rain before 4pm, then a chance of snow showers. High near 42. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Lots of sitting in the hammock under the tarp!
With the chance of warmer conditions and rain, I'm going to sit this one out. I don't really want to have to deal with trying to dry wet gear and be ready for the MN hang by Wed.

I think you mean "defrost" your wet gear.
A lot of factors are coming together to make me bail on this one too. Including backlogged jobs from being snowed in this week.
Man, I'm feeling the same way. I hate to bail since I've been pumped for this for sooo long.
My job interview Thursday night kinda messed up original plans. Plus, MLK day gives me 3 days off next weekend already so I'm tempted to get out then.
Still 50/50, but packed and ready to go...
