Boundary Waters Forecast for Winter Camping

     If you were brave enough to go out winter camping this weekend for the lake trout opener then you woke up to a cold morning. Negative 28 degrees this morning on the Gunflint Trail and windchills of negative 25-35 below predicted.  That’s freeze your nose hair cold and I would have had a very difficult time getting out of my sleeping bag to face that.

    There will be relief from the cold for a day and then it’s back to temperatures below freezing for the high during the day through the week.

     Martin Luther King Day our kids have school scheduled but it looks like it could be a snow day with the forecast we have.
