I remember a couple of years ago here in PA we got about 8 inches of snow. I could feel the pressure of it all as I slept through the night not realizing what it was exactly. But when I woke up I realized I had 8" of snow on me so I brushed it off of my sleeping bag and got dressed. It was hard getting a fire going because of the snow but the night before I had put a dry pine knot in a plastic bag and before long the fire was blazing. I had hot oatmeal and coffee that morning and then continued on my way. We were walking the Mid State trail in January. My buddy still talks about it and has never gone back packing again. Me....I don't go much any more but I do miss it. Winter camping means no snakes or bugs!
