    Who wants to meet me Saturday for a 3 or 4 day camping trip?
    Also bring shovels so we can clear pads.

    Is it better to have a mattress heater or electric blanket at those temps?

    Not quite as cold, but I am scheduled to go scout camping next weekend, and our lows are forecast to be around 14. Cold for NTX where I live.

    I have a feeling the passes are closed and I don't want to go around.

    I wouldn't mind camping in that weather. My only problem is the breakdown when done.

    Camping in that isn’t the problem- but I’m not digging out my popup.

    maybe tenting though- provided a decent heater and a good tent

    My camper has almost 3 feet of snow in front of it right now while it’s parked in my driveway. Also, I think I’d kill myself trying to get the cover off it with all the snow on top.
