Would you shovel snow to camp?

Got completely over any compunction to sleep in tents while I was in Army. Don't want to camp either. We use our MH for a place to eat, sleep and clean up. We are tourists wanting to see everything we can before we die. We bought a hotel room on wheels not a camper,.

Yep - that would change MY mind in a hurry!! Maybe just a drive to a snowy hill for some sledding would be good?

Deb and Ed M,

Darn it, did you have to post that pic showing all that nice beautiful white snow? Now I really miss the snow! Decisions, decisions, decisions!!! Do we stay here in Florida or head back home about 50 miles from you and enjoy the beautiful white snow before it melts because the temps are going way up next week???

Not to worry - we get a very brief warmup - them more cold and snow. It will be here waiting for you! We currently have about 2' on the ground.

Yes, high winds can ruin any RV experience. Hope you get a chance to get to adequate snow so your kids get to play in it. It's so much fun even for us big kids and we are 72 years old but still love snow. Wouldn't be here in North Florida for a couple months if my wife hadn't had 18 operations so far and has to avoid the chance of falling as much as possible.

My wife's brother had a custom home design and build business in the Greensboro, NC area a little north of you for over 20 years before he finally had enough, sold, retired, and moved back to West Michigan because he missed the true 4 seasons so much and the northern always clean type snow when on the ground and the winter sports and activities. He absolutely hated the greasy ultra slick wet clay and the red clay that stains everything of the NC etc area. Even more detested the wet snow the area gets along with every excuse in the books his carpenters and workers used not to show up for work which kept the home building constantly way behind schedules and completion promised dates.

Such as: It just might snow today so we stayed home! Looked like a heavy rain a commin! The stripers (fish) are runnin! Gotta get to my tobbaccer field or help Billy Bob with his! 30 degrees? It's too cold to work! Got paid yesterday so I gotta go pay some bills today - about a one day a week excuse! on and on!!!

We'd visit him and his wife and couldn't believe how greasy the wet clay if you went off the paved road is and with a 1/2" of snow on it, you simply often couldn't even move a vehicle on flat ground. Up north, it's dry snow almost sticky snow and with 8" of the new fallen snow, just drive thru it! However, some morons drive way too fast on the snow and become statistics along with the innocents they hit! Can't fix stupid!!!

After 4 pages of discussion, we are not going. I've got the trailer hooked up and in the driveway, fridge loaded and ready, but the forecast kept changing. This morning, it is calling for a high of 38 and windy (gusts up to 50mph!). The wind is what really changed my mind.

Anyway, we still want to go and will probably do a closer campground. The high here at home is 48 with half the wind. Heck, we really wanted to be in the snow.

sorry, double post

No. Just.........no. But you have to understand that it's February, we're buried in over 2 feet of snow since the end of November, we still have 6 more weeks of snow and I am sick to death of that stuff. We've had 3 car accidents in the last month alone in my family due to that white******and we know how to drive in it!

Grab sleds, find a hill and go sledding. Leave the camper at home.

As I posted earlier ... "NO!"

Dang! We got hit with this today. This is the parking lot at work taken from the 3rd floor of the building. It took 1.5 hours to get home from work, which is normally a 30 minute drive (in the country). My drive way looked just as bad, and ... you guessed it ... the little path from the garage to the house is buried again... Shovel ... well, if YOU really want to, I don't want to spoil your fun! Go for it! It might work for you!
