You must live in a time zone 9 days ahead of mine where pretty girls wear Arizona State University cheerleading outfits and santa hats. Sounds like some where I would like to live :D

True. It is either raining or will be shortly. Very predictable.

Climb in winter is definitely feasible. Winter climbing ANY mountain is feasible. It depends on your level of knowledge and you decision to accept the risks involved. There is ALWAYS a chance of bad weather storms and any other related phenomena in ay season.

Excuse me, but WHY is this thread STILL going on ???

December has come and gone already. The dude (Nick?) probably ended up staying home. Case closed.
