    Default What temperature's will we have in Feb March NOBO

    What temps will we encounter in those early months at elevation during day and at night Georgia through north carolina?

    I assume 40's during day and 20's at night. With some wind, but I am not sure how much.

    you may see as high as 60-70 during day and as low as 0 at night. layering is important but i know you know that. may favorite clothing was my MH micro fleece. in feb i used a 20 degree bag.
    I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.

    It can definitely get to single digits (for lows) in March - and teens until early April.

    Weather is so variable that time of year. Be prepared for some very warm days and some very cold nights (not necessarily on the same day, of course.) Karl has it just right.

    One thing you can count on is RAIN on a very regular basis.

    very good tips. Thanks, I know I am going to layer up and have a zero degree bag, but I think I am bringing that second pair of gloves!

    February? Yeah, I bring two pairs of gloves and two hats -- one each to wear hiking (lighter weight) and for camp/sleep (warmer.)
