The U.P. is known for its snow. After 6-7 inches I headed out into the -2 degrees temperature to test my gear for a climbing project I'm working on. Its good to get out there when you get this weather because it mimics the environment you might face on a mountain range.
First...not all winter clothing works well when you are out in the middle of no where. For example, I learned my snow pants and gloves did great. My jacket was just enough so I will have to change it. Shoes need to change as coldness bites the toes. If I was at -40 I would have been seriously hurting.
On my buy list is a cold weather jacket I can climb with and new sub zero boots.
Enjoy the pics!
