Almost everyone in the Southern US remembers Snowmageddon 2014; Inches of snow covered the entire nation south of the Mason-Dixon line and east of the Mississippi. Raleigh itself got somewhere around 3 inches, and shut down for days.
Not only are we just miserably equipped to handle more than a few snowflakes, but every day for a few days after the snow, it melts and refreezes overnight. Every morning, black ice is everywhere.
Well, today is supposed to be Snowmageddon 2015. Naturally, it seemed like a great chance to test my sleep system in a nasty, wet, cold environment. Since tonight went so well, I figured it'd be safe to give it another shot tonight.
It's supposed to be a bit warmer tonight- 23°F, instead of 17°F. Plenty of snow and freezing rain, though. In fact, every half hour or so, I need to punch a layer of ice off of the roof of my tent- it freezes solid!
Again tho, wrapped up in a 0° bag and Arc'teryx Atom down jacket, I'm pretty comfy.
Hopefully all will go well again, and I'll have another good post in the morning.
