Sounds all too familiar. Think Alaska. You leave your base camp in with a
fly rod and vest shorts, a t-shirt, and four gallons of deep woods Off!,
and return in ten inches of show and a core temperature so low that your
vision has closed down to a circle the size of a mailing tube. And I still
go back every year.
Bottom line--in Northern Latitudes, carry warm clothes if your destination
is more than 300 yards away.

Subject: Re: camping at Mosport weather....
I once flew some guys into a remote area of Canada (Memorial Day weekend)
It
was 95 degrees when my fishing party touched down. We put up a primitive
shelter and went fishing.
Thirty hours later it was snowing, with low unflyable overcast. We and
about
300 other fishing parties remained shivering in place for about two more
days than planned.
The 'great unwashed' really stunk up a hotel room the night we got out of
there
I think I like racing better.
