This sub regularly has 2-3 posts a day like "Where can I hike this weekend?" or "we're visiting from north carolina and would like to drive the kancamangus, is there gas?"

So hopefully 10 posts about "You will die. do not hike." get the point across the the absolute tons of people that want to bag peaks in winter months.

it isn't just people thinking this is the coldest state or whatever. it will actually save lives. I've myself not gone out after reading some comments on this sub about really cold weekends.

There is always a few days per winter where we dip into negative temps for a day or two. But the challenge here is the sustained negative temps and windchills, never mind factoring in what the mountains are seeing. That is unusual. Tomorrow morning will likely be the coldest temps I’ve ever witnessed in 40+ years here.
