Walking in November

[athena]

I have not been at O Cebreiro in November. I hear that there is a very real possibility of snow, freezing,  even life-threatening weather if you are not well equipped. Maybe someone else can speak to this. I was there in May and hit a cloudy, wet day which was genuinely cold to me. I write in my ignorance only because I am a fellow Texan, from San Antonio now living in Big Bend, so perhaps we share similar climates.

We have been walking the camino over the past 3 years
in sections as we cannot get the 40 days needed off of
work to make the trip in 1 trip. We have completed
the following segments to date: St Jean to Logrono-
July '01, Logrono to Burgos- April '02, and Burgos to
Astorga- May/June '03. Our plan is to finish the
camino during the 2004 Xacobeo.

Currently, we have some time in November around the
Thanksgiving holiday that we could walk for about 6
days. We figure this will get us just beyond Cierbro,
at 20-30km per day, but I was wondering if anyone has
any experience walking during this time of the year.
Are refugios open? How cold is it? (we are from texas)
etc. Any experiences about the camino would be
greatly apreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Rod and Katie
