Thank you Huggy, We usually start one of these threads and it gives us great ideas on what to pack for clothing.

Pack for every kind of weather - it's the only way.
Maybe leave the snowshoes at home.... |

At this point we are usually just checking how many feet of snow is still on the concert field...
On the web cam it looks like just a few patches of snow.

Dont even try to guess the weather in the Catskills..
It could be sunny everywhere and raining on the mountain if a cloud gets caught up at the summit...
As mentioned.. Prepare for anything...

In 2007 Umphrey's cover of Zeppelin's Immigrant Song came to a screeching halt as a lightning storm came up over the mountain and sent everyone scattering back to their tents. Umphrey's wanted to keep jammin' but they were forced off stage and true to form they came back in 2008 and opened with a tease into...........yep, the Immigrant Song Coolest open I've ever seen. Weather in the mountains can change in minutes! |

Boots that tie are a must! Good rain coat and rain pants, especially if it rains at night.......it gets cold quick when the sun goes down.

Rain gear, splurge. Although I have been successful with the $15 Bass Pro suit. www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-PVC-Rainsuit/product/10228509/ it's $15 wort of quality but did the trick two years ago and I leave it in the trunk of the car during the year. I tend to bring my lawn mower sneakers and then the big ol Timberland boots for when it gets muddy. Weather can turn on a dime and I have gotten sun burned while shivering. Layers is the key. I like wearing an Under Armour Heat Gear base layer. Not bulking and can put a long sleeve shirt over it and then a good sweatshirt. Doesn't look too hippyish though. |
