Quite a contrast over the last two days. Morning rain and humidity yesterday turned quickly to clear sky, then giving way to clouds and cold wind in the afternoon, climbing Hump Mt.
Last night I was in Overmountain shelter, elevation 4,654ft., actually just an old barn. Saw the full moon rise, but then everything was engulfed in clouds. Wind roared all night, with freezing temps, and 2 inches of snow. Snow mist blew in through the walls, coating everything. Water bottles were iced up by morning, so it was a slow start getting moving in the bitter cold. Then up to the ridge through hoar frost and ice, over Jane Bald this morning.
