Snow in MI


It is snowing in MI now so does this mean the people from MI will be heading home now or wait a while? How many from the RGV are heading home or waiting a few weeks?

We sadly left the Valley this AM at 8:30, we are now in Bay City TEXAS. Oh, ya gotta be here and ya better love trains! OMG! 50 yards from my trailer back window. GULP

Anyway, we are delaying the return to Michigan by spending $$ on 700 extra miles and campsites, and going to a family thing in Virginia.

When we get home we will probably park Tana for most of the summer and fall and join all in long flowerful prayers that the fuel prices somehow miraculously come DOWN!

IF we were not going to Virginia, we would STILL be in the Valley, FOR SURE! Why go back to ice and snow?? SIGHHHHH.

That said, we usually get home around the 20th of April and get 4 more inches of the white stuff within days. SIGHHHH

We are planning on leaving Central Florida in a week or so and slowly heading north to Michigan, to arrive by the third week in April. Hopefully it will be snowed out by then. If so, this will be the first spring in years that we have returned and not had to winterize.

We will be leaving the valley next Tue April 1. It is snowing right now in IA but melting as fast as falling.

Jim,

I know you live a bit north of us, but we don't winterize when we get back. We drain the water. Most nights it does not get below freezing for more than a couple of hours, it has been our experience that we will not freeze up in a couple of hours.

IF we see numbers low enough to concern us (probably below 25 for more than 2 to 4 hours), then we can always turn the heat on 45 for the night and that handles that.

Course, we are rather lazy! Don't want to spend the energy and time to winterize unless we really gotta!

Safe rides back!

Right back at you, Carol, and thanks. We usually get back in March. This is the latest we have stayed down here and we have several nights in the 20s so we would rather winterize, before, and not need it than not and need it.

It's snowing like crazy right now. Almost all hints of snow were gone early today when we got up at 6 am with the exception of the piles from snow plowing around town, and they had dissipated quite a bit. Now everything is covered in a beautiful white blanket of snow. We must have at least 4 inches right now and it's still coming down. The trees are covered and it's quite pretty. However it won't seem so pretty come the morning's commute. I took some photos tonight and will post them tomorrow. Gotta get to bed for early rise in a few hours for work.

I think those of you not coming back here until end of April are making a smart choice. It's been a long hard winter here. Remember when we were called the "Winter Wonderland?" Tired of it now, want it to go away. Sigh Even Dick the Snowboarding geek, is tired of it.

We were hoping you and Al were still in the valley for one more get together .

Thanks for the weather update, it sounds like a winter weather report.

We are still in the RGV at temps at upper 80's, still waiting for the temps to get warmer before heading North.
