LOL!

Yes. And some prayer beads.

Tom - the worst conditions I've been in were with the Tempest, and with a Big Sky 2P tent. The latter let in lots of snow as spindrift and was ultimately flattened by over 18" of snow and winds we later heard were reported to be as high as 100mph on ridgetops. I lived to tell the tale, but that tent's not going out on any winter trips with the remotest chance of a storm ever again :-) (For the record, the forecast that weekend was for an inch or two of snow and mild, sunny weather.)

I've been in gale-force winds with the Hillebergs and they've been great - haven't been dumped on with more than half a foot of snow so far in them, though - but they should handle it well given their dome structure and multiple crossing points on the poles.
