Hi! My husband and I are recent retirees, and are currently snowbirding in Osoyoos BC. If everything goes well this winter, we will be going home to Alberta to sell our house and go full-time. So far everything is great. Got a bit cold the last couple days, but the fifth-wheel has been nice and snug. No problems with anything freezing. Love hearing everyone else's stories, and looking forward to getting to know you all.

Dale and Glenda,
Please allow me to welcome our newest "international" member of the RV Dreams forum. If you have been lurking for a while before registering and introducing yourselves, then you know this to be a welcome haven for dreamers and planners.
Feel free to ask questions or make comments. Even oft repeated questions can sometimes give us a different perspective, and most of us welcome all questions.
However, now someone has come along an confused me. It has long been a belief of mine that "Snowbirds" go to the southern United States for the winter. But, then being from Canada, I guess we will just have to refer to the two of you as "Extreme Snowbirds" in that your plans DON'T include Florida, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, or Arizona.
Down here, we have the philosophy that if it gets cold, we set our thermostats to a desired temperature and then drive south until the heaters stay off for at least 24 hours.
Oh, by the way, you might get a little kidding here on occasion.
Terry

Strangely enouogh, yesterday in Boerne, TX I followed an extreme snowbird from Alberta. Commented to DW that he is avoiding the inclement weather up north now.

Welcome and to really snowbird in Canada you need to get west of the Cascades. I know Vancouver just got some snow, but I am sure Osoyoos is colder.
