slow night

“is everyone this fine eve???”

“I am right here, under this blanket this fine eve”

“I'm cleanin'. I've never seen you post before, are you new?”

“I've been coming here for a few months now. Its fricken freezing outside here in Nashville, TN”

“Oh, have you met anyone yet? It's colder in Columbus than Nashville.”

“i bet it's colder here than either of those places”

“I was gonna go on the Mt. Rogers trip but had to bail. I've been trying to get people to go to the Smokies though. No bites..”

“so cold here I have my heat on high and its not getting warm. I'm going to bed in my backpacking shell.”

“-19 out there right now, nice and toasty in here though :D”

“buncha babies
me and simer got the real stuff. you guys are only going through a bit of a chill!”

“its 14 degrees here and with the windchill it feels like one. That's pretty cold for us down her in the south. Next week I am bp'g on Mt. LeConte in the Smokies and staying in the shelter atop the mountain. Not sure what to expect weatherwise on the top of that alpine peak.”

“who is bp'g next weekend and where're ya going?”

“not unless i can find someone to go with me... in 2 feet of snow, with -20 degree weather... brr”

“14!!! how balmy. but even if it were 14F here,you wouldnt catch me sleeping outside. burrr...too much snow.”

“lol, coldest i've ever slept out was -22F that was a bit chilly, but i stayed warm... that was under the stars”

“the weather channel says, "severe arctic blast grips middle tennessee." You guys updare in da great white nord are accustomed to this kinda stuff..”

“funny, I always thought Minnesota -did i spell that right? I don't think so- was colder than Ontario. freaky winter.”

“Holy #&%!$! It's -3F here! Weather.com says it feels like -21F. I'm gonna go outside in a t-shirt to see what it feels like.”

“It's very satisfying for canadiens to hear that cold weather happens in those all places we wish we were at every Jan&Feb”

“Dub---don't accidently lock the door behind you!!!! that happened to me once. panic set in real quick.”

“damn simer, thats frigid.
What kinda bag do you use? I'm a cold sleeper, even in summer.”

“its in the 50s in Florida right now. Jacksonville, where it is 54 is only 7 hours to the south of here. Such a difference in temperature.”

“my winterbag is a slumberjack synthetic -30 bag, and my summer one used to be 0 degree slumberjack, but im' sure it's not good that cold any more”

“Tennessee is so beautiful, even in winter. Don't bother with flat old Florida:)”

“A 0F summer bag! That's insane. The -3F wasn't so bad. How cold does it have to be before you start dying quickly?”

“synthetic? how small does that pack? and what about the weight? guess-timate please...I'm too lazy to look it up.”

“Tennessee is beautiful. I love the Smokies. I really love western North Carolina too.”

“A lot warmer than -3!!!!!! silly boy. hypothermia is supposed to be the nicest way to die.”

“And Dub- don't mock our summer bags unless you are prepared to see snow in july.”

“yeah, you get all warm and gooey and then, yawn, go to sleep.”

“I'd love to see snow in July. Hopefully it will still be on Mt. Washington this summer when I go to bp in the whites. It can snow anytime of year on some of the mountains above 6k down here but I don't think its much between april and september.”

“you forgot the roll-over part.”

“I did see snow in July once when I went to Yellowstone. I was really amazed. What made it even more fun was that I was wearing shorts and it was 70F outside.

-3F didn't feel cold enough to kill you...seemed like it was just cold enough to piss you off. Now maybe if you were naked (I had on jeans and a t-shirt) then it might kill ya.”

“i dunno, and my 0 degree summer bag is not 0 degrees any more, i know it's heavy, the 0 degree bag was to cover for all seasons because i'm too cheap to buy more than one bag, now i don't really have a summer bag, that's one of my next purchases though”

“how big is your other bag?”

“big enough for me... i don't know the weight, all i knwo is that it keeps me warm, that's what matters... it packs down, not real small but small enough for me...”

“whats the weight?!? I wanna know how heavy it is! try compareing it with somthing else.”

“hey-nevermind I'll look it up anyway. I wanna see what it looks like. Thanks”

“i just got in from THE END...going to EXIT/IN tommorrow night...bad boy bill is playing”

“another Nashvillian.”

“yo nashville hiker..there are a few of use..opie1979 on yahoo and aim”

“I am also located in Middle Tn. Not sure about this time of year but the last time I did LeConte it was about 15 degree's colder at the lodge than the trail head. So if it's say 15 degrees here it will probably be 0 to -5 degree's at the top with lots of snow. Plus wind chill to consider, and it is usually windy, Good Luck, Say warm!”

“Slow night
dada daaa dada da dada
Take it easy
dada daaa dada da dada
SLOW NIGHT
dada daaa dada da dada
TAKE IT EASY...”

“Well it was a nice balmy day here in lovely Jacksonville Florida.

Gotta break out the 30deg bag for next weekends hike in Ocala.

lalalalalalalalalalala”

“just got home about 30 minutes ago, anyone up”

“HPM that is just cruel.

I just checked the thermometer I stuck between the windows: -6!!!!!
that means the roads will be nice & slushy tomorrow. I think I'd rather have colder than that sloppy mess.”

“Hi helinka, how are you tonight. It is cool here, in the teens but it is comfortable”

“what are you doing still up? I thought I was the only nightowl around.”

“I just got home from work and had dinner. Figure I would check some threads and see what I missed..not much, lol”

“seem very quiet tonight.
I've been over at the 'other site' looking up dehydrating info. even slower there.”
