Rollcall 2005-04-06 Wednesday TUX

[M@]

I saw a few people in another thread talking about Wednesday - and the weather is looking PRIMO that day.

I'm coloring myself 31% right now as I've done little but check my outlook calendar to see if it's good and it's looking okay... actually... I just booked a meeting all day so no-one else drops another one in there.

I'm 90% wednesday....TUX or GOS???

Which weather reports are you looking at? I was thinking about Wednesday but have yet to see anything too promising. I was hoping for clear sky.. it'll be warm enough, but cloudy.

Mostly cloudy (http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/forecast.html). Highs in the mid 50s and lows around 40.

I'm 90% at this point. http://www.timefortuckerman.com/forums/images/smilies/schlitz.gif

I'm 50% and rising. I expect that the morning will be clear with the desired thaw of the snowpack, with clouds building during the day.

Wow... it'll really suck.... I would recommend that everyone go to work and carry on about their business while I investigate the weather up there in person. The horrible weather should deter all those on the fence about going up. http://www.timefortuckerman.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Hey, what time is everyone going to be at Pinkham tomorrow AM?

[Castlerock]

Dawn Patrol
Hiking 6:30 AM if at all possible.

Dawn Patrol
Hiking 6:30 AM if at all possible. Ditto.....that would mean a 4AM departure for me and maybe grab a breakfast at the lodge. Of course I'ld take a nap at lunch rocks in the sun around noon. You know...afternoon siesta!

Whoa!
Not sure there will be any sun.

[Castlerock]

Dood. Dawn is the only way to go. In the words of Brooks Dodge, the perfect conditions are when only the first inch of snow softens up.....Hence the need for snow tools on the climb up. (I wouldn't want to mention crampons!)

[PWDR8S]

That does sound ambitious doesn't it? Actually, I would leave my house around 4AM and drive the 2hrs.... I would arrive at Pink's around 6am to see the crack of Dawn. I'ld go up tonight but I have to pick up my folks from the airport tonight. http://www.timefortuckerman.com/forums/images/smilies/heliski.gif
