Has the extreme cold weather affected you?

Here in Pennsylvania has been very cold. In fact to cold to go camping. Last winter was a good year to winter camping.I am glad that I keep my little Motor Home in a garage. Maybe in March the weather will get better. I hope all is well and can't wait for spring to come. Stay warm
We don't travel as much as we use to. I guess we are getting old.I want to go out west one more time.

Well ... here at home - about 2 weeks after the OP's post ... I had to change my T-Shirt in midday today cuz I got all sweaty working outside. I believe the afternoon high was around 75 degrees. ๐Ÿ™‚

P.S. We just got back from a 2 1/2 week RV trip to Arizona - some night lows in the 30's and some day highs in the 70's. We had to top up our propane tank about half way through the trip due to keeping the furnace on all night at times when drycamping.

Boy ... am I glad I left Michigan for California 56 years ago. Growing up in an unheated bedroom and having my car radiator freeze solid (even with anti-freeze in it) was no picnic way back then.

yes, been way too cold here to work on the outside of the motorhome, have been able to do some on the inside of the motorhome, as far as rewiring and laying down a new floor, redesigning the kitchen table area.

Kinda-Sorta.... just got our little class c this past summer. It was for trips of short duration, including some cool weather rvโ€™ing, as a test for itโ€™s wintering capabilities...weโ€™ve tried three outings. But....you folks back east have โ€œhoggedโ€ the cold weather. Every outing we have had planned....it warmed-up ??! So far, weโ€™ve only tested down to low teens. Thank goodness weโ€™ve got about 2 more months of winter.....so maybe! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Pretty nice in Western Oregon - last year was a mess (10 inches of snow/ice) but January has been one of the warmest/driest I can remember. Got a couple of cold days around Christmas and that was about it. Feel sorry for my son in Indianapolis.

Yes it has, it makes 10 and 20 degrees seem pleasant!

I left WI in October for south TX. Even here we have a few nights in the low 30s but nothing like back home. More propane than prior years.

Yes, it made me work faster so I could return to the house sooner!

Yes, it has. I had to wear socks with my flipflops, and I've worn long pants three days in a row, gasp!

I'm too old to ski. I can easily break a leg at home.


You're never too old! I just returned from a ski trip with my 83 yo dad.

Heated Garage, Ron, That is SO You! Probably warmer than our drafty FL house...
Certainly so, especially when considering the recent cold snap down there. ๐Ÿ™‚

Keep warm!

Unfortunately cold weather in the N.E. is a given. Except for a trip to the diner for coffee and breakfast I'm pretty much housebound as its too cold for camping and very few projects to work on in the garage. The TT stays winterized 4-5 months every year here. Plowing snow is the only outdoor activity for a couple more months. Can't wait for spring (warm weather) to get here.
