Our poor Monty!!

Just got home and thought I caught our Monty, which is parked in the front yard for the winter, shivering and shaking. Here in North Dakota we are under a Wind Chill Warning. Current temp is -15 with a NW wind howling at around 27. Wind Chill around 45 below zero. Us and the Monty should be some place way south like the RGV. COme on spring!!!!

I have felt your pain in years past, but it was mid 60s at Escapees Rainbow Plantation here in Summerdale, AL today! BTW, we love our 3585SA too.

Put it in covered storage (big garage) with power...well worth the expense.

Spent our younger years in TRF MN so can sympathize with your cold weather in the winter. Lots of ND folks in our AZ park, come on down.... Mid to high 70s all week.

Looks like you guys have a couple more years of ND winters before you start the annual snowbird migration like the rest of us retirees. You will be surprised how quickly that sneaks up on you too. . Stay warm.

Our Monty is whimpering behind us as we drag her back to Montana from Quartzsite! She knows she is going from 67 degrees to 8 tonight in Provo Utah! Poor thing! She has already been winterized. Sure will be fine once she gets acclimated. We just keep telling her to focus on our upcoming summer travels!

Yep, had that last nite. Looks like one more nite into the deep freeze for NoDak but temps getting above zero this week, low 20's for the weekend. On Saturday I will resume my winter/spring cleaning that I started a few weeks ago.

No worries there, up here in the northern plains winterizing is as automatic as breathing.
