Me too 😂

But it depends how cold it gets here before we leave. December my internal thermostat has managed to to adjust downward a bit and it feels positively balmy there.

Give it a couple of weeks in Spain and when I return I’ll fly back in a sundress and need sub zero outerwear before I leave the airport 😆

The week after New Year's, we usually sink into a deep freeze for a week where the overnight lows get to +\-0*F. That's when I usually camp out in my hammock in the backyard. So far, the lowest has been -4*F/-20*C for me, where I've been completely comfortable in normal hiking clothes. The neighbors think I'm nuts, but seriously, that is the best way to shake down and test your setup in complete safety before you head out on a wilderness backpacking trip in the middle of winter, since the back door is just feet away as a bail out, versus possibly freezing to death, miles from your car on your first run at it.

I love camping when it gets cold as well.
Not done it for many years though.
 
OK, seriously unimpressed.

I have no (heatshielded) blinds on the windows at the moment, so the house is very hot. Same as outside

we both woke to a lovely cool morning having slept well with everything wide open! 12.9C was bliss!
We got to repeat tomorrow only with the chance of thunder as well
Sunday is due to be much cooler again....
But some areas are getting 45C, fires and high winds :( .... There is a reason I have not been to them!
 
Gunna be another shitty day here today. We have snow starting now and going non stop until midday with an expected 3 - 6" of accumulation. The only good thing is it is a school day so they will keep the roads cleared off pretty good UNLESS they shut the schools which wuldn't surprise me either. Anything for a day off :(

I just hope it does stop at 12:00 midday and they do keep the roads clear as we are supposed to be going out for dinner for a friend birthday tonight ....

We only got about an inch last night, just enough to cover up the ice from snow melting previously and refreezing, so less slipping chance when working today.

Seems worse than ever this year. :( i know I'm on the great dividing range and on the edge of the plains as well but it still seems to be incredibly variable this year.
