How COLD is it in Moab?
I'm getting ready to leave Wednesday for another Turkey Boogie. Is it just plain COLD, or is it "hey....where'd my balls go COLD" ?

I once left denver - took us 14 hours to make it to Moab through a statewide storm. There was no way I was pulling over and the dog had to shit. The dog shit HUGE. Colorado boarder the snow stopped. Moab - 60 clear full moon. Nice.

Looks like it is 25 degrees there now, but it's forecast to be in the mid-40s the rest of the week.

I'm more concerned about the snow that was reported on the ground the other day. Is it gone? (We need a webcam like the one in Norway..) Cool

Hey there,
About 4 inches fell, it has been pretty cold but windless. Most of the snow is gone. It will stay in the shade for the rest of the Winter, which means the long way up to Indian Cave, but it melts right away on the rock and the SW facing hills. The temperature is supposed to be around 50 F. There are about 20 people here already.
ONE IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
We are moving Mineral Bottom up one day to Friday instead of Saturday. The weather MAY deteriorate on Saturday and we don't want to lose our day out there. This year we are hiring two Unimogs(military transports).
Everyone is welcome to stop by the shop when you hit town.
Thanks!
