You don't want it to warm up to much in the sun because it will unfreeze that gumbo and makes it really hard to get around. You have to keep looking for the prickly pear cactus to scrap your boots clean. LOL-25 elk hunting in Montana is the coldest I can recall. Late November can be brutal. Lot of morning leaving the ranch at negative temps, but usually warms up nicely as the sun crests the mountains.
