Sitting in Tucson AZ at our Saguaro Jetset GMC RV rally.

Temperature outside is 36 degrees at 8:00 am. Afternoons are warm and we have had a good turn out!

A single broken waterline in my bathroom reuired three trips to the hardware store to finally resolve the issue. Had lots of help fixing what was supposed to be a very small problem. (Famous last words!)

Soon Christmas and then the HUGE Quartzsite RV Rally!!!!

John;



How do I explain this??......



Just over 4 ft of snow here in the past 30 hours....... Not really cold [about 16 deg] but winds over 30 mph at times.....



Every major road north of my house is closed and emergencies declared....



Just got off the phone with Jim Bounds looking for my Daily Pose update, as there's bugger-all else to do until this coffee kicks in and I go out to shovel the rest of the deck off...... Jim tells me that it's 80 degrees at the SS rally this morning.



I KNEW I should have taken his advice and 'stored,' my coach in fla this year...



Oh, well, pop a few Advil's now as a pre-emptory strike and back outside....



Winter Fun?!! Wow!!

Well, here, North of CHICAGO, we were supposed to get 4 to 10 inches of snow.

I went out and prepared the SnowBlower , which is my usual anti snow dance, and we received about half an inch of slush instead. pushed that crap right off the driveway.

Temp varied from 4 to 12 and today is in the 20's.

LarC ( thinking if everyone have a snowblower to scare the snow away, probably never need to use it. Snow hates SnowBlowers )

I have relatives just outside Huntsville. I don't think anyone is going anywhere for a while.

Yes, we were disappointed here also. I wanted to try out my new General AT2 tires on my pickup. It is 2 wheel drive with positraction and traction control. There are lots of unhappy people on the Colorado forum about not getting any snow. All we got was s slight dusting and cold temps so I guess I'll have to wait for another day.

I do not plow unless the snow is over 8". Anything less than that we just drive through / over it.

The GMC is sleeping happily inside my hanger waiting for March.

Temp right now is 36 at 7PM.

Tell that to my Deere tractor with snow blower. Every darned time I go out
and move the snow with the blower, it comes back within a day or so! I have
to repeat the darned process all winter long! Is it possible that Canadian
snow is fearless?
