Courtney,I've been amazed, but the temperature has been very mild (from what I hear, it's been much colder at home in Wyoming). On average, our temperatures while in the field have been in the mid-upper 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The first three days that we were on Cloudmaker Peak were windy, with speeds up to 35 mph. At those times, the temperature with the wind chill was in the single digits. The rest of our field time we have had very little wind and so if there is any wind chill, then we may be as cold as 17-18 degrees.
