Snow up to your thighs! For an Arizona desert rat to read such things, it is a chilling story. No wind and lots of sun, I'm assuming. I suppose that it is better than cooped up in water proof pants, or soaked pants.
I look up my window at the snow on Mt. Lemon today. Here, it will go down to 32F - 0C tonight sometime before sunrise. The wind is blowing, and its only 50F out there. I went out today, bundled up in a winter jacket. When the sun goes behind a cloud, I think that it is cold, at chill factor. Go up into those mountains naked?...where it is actually freezing...nope. Inconceivable today.
Of course, that's why I live here. Only short trips naked into snow, every few years.
