Sunday snow

It started snowing again on Saturday. It was forecast. It was expected. But every time I looked at the weather internet site it seemed to change. And not for the better.


Now it showed that it would snow heavily for 3 days, with possibly a small window of clear weather on Tuesday. But then Wednesday should bring more snow, and Thursday, and Friday still more of the white stuff. In these 3 days we will probably get more than a foot. I hope the warm Tuesday forecast doesn't disappear.

The temps are about 32 during the day with overnight lows in the 20's. Tuesday should bring us high temps around 40 and once the campground roads get plowed by the owner it will hopefully melt enough for us to drive the motorhome. The campground roads are dirt and they are on an upward incline to the main road. Just a slight hill upward to freedom. With snow on the uphill road the cars slide around a little. The 4x4 trucks have no problem, but we all know the motorhome is not a 4x4. And we don't have chains.


I haven't watched the weather this much since we lived in the Florida Keys and we'd watch the hurricanes form. We have plenty of food and propane. No worries about surviving a week or more, but I wonder what the very cold could do to the motorhome. So far it has performed perfectly! ( I give most of the credit to Rick for keeping it all working as it should.) No problems with any of the systems and with the electric heater, the propane furnace, and the electric heating blanket we are staying toasty warm. Lets just hope things continue to go smoothly here and we don't have some emergency reason to leave. 'Cuz it would be near impossible to leave in our vehicles.
