Yes, for those who live in the warmer climes you know it's ungodly cold when the snow takes on a crystalline glint, and crunches under your feet with a most unpleasant feel..
Far more dangerous than being stranded in the desert!
You guys are getting slammed early, NY gets that shyt in Jan/Feb, and we also see temps down to about -40. Usually only 2 weeks or less if the gods are pleased.
Spy you are furking nuts, the hell were you using for gloves? It gets below about 15 and no way am I running anything but the damn furnace!
And those poor packs... little risky there!
Good they survived but uh, maybe a disclaimer is in order for the lipo rookies?
"Spy said it was OK and my packs puffed"
