:thumbsup :sunshine Great link!!! Wow it doesn’t get any better than that. Burrrrrrrrr I think I was better off not knowing the low temps. It does get really cold in the wee hours of the morn.
Note to self, DO NOT FORGET YOUR GLOVES AND HAT!
lows in the 40’s sure beats lows in the 20’s and snow. :thumbsup
:thumbsup You got that right. :medal
let’s not all forget that 40*, also comes with a constant 5 mph wind off the mountain that never stops till morning. Don’t forget your beer gloves and hats.
Looks great BUT I would still be prepared for RAIN… Those rain/hail storms can come out of nowhere…and with the low humidity 40 is much colder there than 40 on east coast…
:cheers :cheers :cheers :cheers :cheers :cheers :cheers :cheers :cheers
Rain, what rain, we don’t care about no stinkin’ rain :lol
:hop :hop :hop :hop :hop
Definitely still plan for rain. It may only be a 5 minute sprinkle but I don’t think I’ve ever been to the festival and not had to throw on my poncho for at least a few minutes.
Low temps look like it will be a chilly sit in the morning hours for the tarp run.
Actually I think it’s the opposite Deb… I’ve read that humid air conducts heat away from your skin in temperatures below 53 degrees (and oddly enough makes temperatures much hotter above 53 degrees… go figure). So while 40, much like 90, absent humidity is a bit more tolerable than with humidity, windchill is the bigger issue. Throw in that constant breeze that RedKnuckles refers to… it’s going to be a cooler year than normal, based on AccuWeather prediction.
Layer up kiddos…

P.S. I usually use the weather in SLC for the week or two preceding TBF, as an example of what it’s going to be like in T-ride, as my guide and it has been downright nippy around here. We haven’t had a scorcher yet… and that’s odd for this time of year.
Monkeygirl is right about the humidity.
That’s because you have that reeeeeeeeal poncho, right Landshark?!

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!! No cheezy Sears Poncho.

Okay, I stand corrected…
BUT, when I go to the East Coast in October every year, I am sweating at 50 degrees… At home, we are getting out the Parkas at 50…
:huh :huh
You live in the high and dry desert Deb… you rarely have to deal with humidity. Humidity has it’s effects above AND below 53 degrees… both uncomfortable to someone who is not accustomed.
That’s probably due to acclimatization… you’re used to those high desert temps! (but it’s a DRY heat!.. haven’t you said THAT to people before?) 50 degrees has got to seem positively arctic to people from Tucson.
The upshot of all this is that it’s going to be, like Hooch said, cold in that tarp line this year. Cold for the late night walkabouts. Colder then ever if you run out of quarters in the shower. So bring your wooly caps and mittens… bring a real poncho for the rain that you know crops up there when the clouds get tripped up on those mountains. And don’t complain about the short bursts of rain, cause that’s what gives us those unbelievable rainbows and that beautiful alpenglow.
Layer for cold and strip away the layers as you warm up…

I need to find my red marker for today… someone said I was right about something. WOOT!!!
xoxo
Rhonny dont let it go to your Head!

:rollin :rollin :rollin

I ALWAYS wear my wooly cap and mittens in the shower Jerry… don’t you?!
d’oh!
xoxo
