We returned from South Carolina on Dec 30, just ahead of (their) cold weather coming in, but returned home to Indiana to a balmy negative 6 degrees! Glad we left when we did.
I think it's funny about people who camp and RV. Everyone really wants warm sunshine, no wind days for their "perfect" vacation. But that's just not reality! Experiencing the elements of "nature" ... enjoyable and rugged ... is what makes good experiences.
Visiting a new area and having a tornado come through, is actually pretty exciting! Visiting a new area and getting hit with a foot of snow, really makes for a memorable experience. But to enjoy your designated destination spot is to "enjoy" all that nature throws there! Sunshine, rain, even snow and ice.
We've been camping many, many times and had nothing but rain, or heat so intense with no let-up we though we'd die. We make the best of it, and realize this is part of the local culture and rack it up to experience!
Remember the old expression: "All sunshine makes a desert!"
Edit:
But a little sunshine is welcome to dry out the rain!
