Well here we are in Gladewater Texas and we have a foot of snow on the ground. We had hoped that we would miss the snow by sneaking off to east Texas but Old Man Winter found us here and not only snowed on us but knocked out the electricity too.
We worked yesterday and when we got off it was snowing pretty good. It was not sticking at that time so we thought we might have dodged the bullet on this storm. Much to our dismay we noticed last night before turning in that it was coming down even harder and it was starting to stick on the grass.

This morning when we woke up and looked out the windows we were surprised to see that the snow had accumulated to almost a foot! Well that just made our morning. It did look real pretty but then we new it would all melt and we would have a muddy mess here and that was not good. We are leaving tomorrow and I do not like to pack up in the mud. Everything is so wet and messy and you have to pack it all away and then when it dries out you have to clean up this mess…When will it dry out? How much wet mess will I accumulate before I get to clean it up?

I am working off battery now and hope that it stays strong until the electricity comes back on. We have a generator but I don’t want to use up all the propane on that when I will need it for the heat! Boondocking is for the spring or fall months…not during a snow storm. If we run out of propane we cannot have the tanks filled up because they need electric to run the pump. Well now isn’t this a fine predicament.
We were going to finish up our laundry today so we would have all clean clothes to start out next week on. This wont happen today. They don’t have electric in any part of the park…or the town for that matter. All we can hope for is that the electric comes back on before we run out of propane.
Well all you Dreamers sitting in those warm climate places and sucking up all that sunshine…which we have not seen in weeks…just stop every once in a while and think about us Eskimo RV’ers here in the tundra. This will be our last winter in the north and you can take that to the bank….

Okay ?????? Did you pull your slides in before the snow fall? I'm hearing reports all around the Canton area and Terrell area no electricity. You might not have any where you are headed. Wishing you luck on the move. Will be praying for safe travel!!

I just can't imagine what it must be like for you to have all that snow where you are. You have more on the ground than we have here! However a lot of ours did melt in January and we have only had flurries since!
Stay warm and be careful driving!
We're suppose to get snow tomorrow. We're all filled up with water and we'll run the generator only if needed. We're hoping to keep electricity. Both of us need to head South!! Good luck with the move and be very careful.
Oh dear, Speedy and Sherri, you didn't expect that, when you went FT.
It is such a rare thing here in TX, but maybe they will have work for you in the RGV, CA or AZ next winter!!
Happy Trails, Penny, TX
Hope you get power back on soon! Surely the sun will be out soon to help you thaw! Stay warm!
Oh my, its beginning to get warmer here in Arizona, so it can't be too far behind before you get some of it too. As a last resort, you could get some of the pre filled 20 LB grill bottles from one of the big box stores. Hope it doesn't come to that.
NORTH, my friend you are not north. It is all in your imagination. Think warm! We were just above freezing here and if we lose a foot we will still have one or two left. But here we are used to a little of the white stuff, I imagine after you all get a snow man built and throw a few balls at each other the novelty wears off fast. Stay warm and travel safe.
OK my friend. I'm taking it to the bank that you will be somewhere in the south next year. It may not be the best weather in the world all the time but there is no snow and has got down to freezing only twice since we have been here.Let's all stay south next winter----This is great...

I'd better not mention that it's 76F here in Palm Springs and that I went swimming this afternoon!!
What a mess y'all. I hope you had some kind of heat last night. Geez.
Have a safe move today. Hopefully, this nasty cold, wet weather will be gone in a couple more weeks.
Be safe and snuggle up.

I printed and took to the bank and they said
"What an I suppose to do with this?"
I said I thought you were suppose to give me something!
I walked out with my printed piece of paper.
We are keeping track of that bank account!
Stay warm and hope you have electricity soon!
Wow - not fun. Hope the battery lasts and you all get on your way to warmer weather quickly! Stay warm!
