well, according to the OP's story, he was going to be out this weekend, so it will be interesting to see if he did in fact go and if in fact he did or did not freeze his keester off (I just hope he took a toque and warm stuff, being cold truly sucks, especially if he was feeling already miserable -perhaps- due to the reason he was going off on his own this weekend...)
+! I am looking forward to an update and trip report. Around here thanksgiving day was in the mid seventies, then a cold front came through and temps were below freezing at night.
