Man, we feel for you. Fortunately, the governor can't shut down the "cyber highway." As long as you have power, you can keep us posted.

Mike, this is probably a good idea. We have had 12 inches of snow so far, and still coming down, and the plows can't keep up with keeping the roads clear. On the news today, I saw motorists in Toronto getting stuck and getting out to shovel and they were on a major highway, which is pretty dangerous. By closing the roads, it makes it easier to clear the roads without any obstacles or more important, less accidents. We are waiting for the snow to stop and then go out and try to clear it up. Can't wait, NOT.

The good news, it's supposed to be 50 degrees here on Monday.

I hope you don't get snowed in too bad.

Take good care.

Wow... that brings back memories... bad ones! We endured the northern winters in western NY for most of our lives but headed south for Florida in the mid-90's. Sitting in South Florida right now with the windows open in the rig and enjoying a balmy 72 degrees outside. Y'all be careful up there in the Frozen North!

Stay safe and warm Mike and anyone else who is in that area. Keep us posted if you still have power.

I called Santa today and he said the reindeer had to turn back to home.. the wind shear and blinding snow has hindered their GPS navigation.......always something.....I tried Mike.....Stay Safe....If you are staying in the RV--Hope you have an escape hatch in the roof.

hey mike, don't your wheels role? i lived north of syracuse, ny for 43 years, 2' of snow was common nov thru april, i now live in pensacola! you have choices, evidently you must like the snow and cold otherwise you would (or should) be further south. mark

Racerguy · RV-Dreams Family Member

Mark....Mike has very unfortunate circumstances that kept him where he is at.

MarkS · RV-Dreams Family Member

Hey Mark, that wind in P-Cola can be brutal this time of year. I lived in and around Ft Walton for years. One year we had one heck of a snow storm. Huge flakes fell for over thirty minutes. That mess stayed on the ground for all of 15 minutes. I thought we would never... Aww never mind.

biggrin I was trying to razz Mike with my posts as I normally do!!! I am originally from the Champlain Valley and lived in the town of Plattsburgh for 30 yrs.; give or take a few. Seen and shoveled all the snow I wanted and got out of Dodge!!! I would turn into a ice statue now as anything lower than 40 degrees gives me frost-bite!!! aww aww

Mike: good to hear you are safe and that snow will add some extra insulation to keep the wind out and the warmth in. Like I said before. Hope to see you in August when the snow melts up there.

yeah mark, it can get pretty brutal around here, when it's 45 degrees outside it chills you to the bone, i guess i'm just spoiled! as i tell my friends and family still in central ny, i can shovel sunshine alot easier than snow! mark

Mike, We are still praying everything is well up there with you. We got lucky with only about 6" here in the Poconos. Though I cannot agree with imprisoning people who are on the roads (not a big fan of big brother/ government) I do believe that if someone puts themselves intentionally into harms way that may cause our first responders to be harms way then they should be held accountable (i.e., payjng the costs to help them).

Lucky Mike · RV-Dreams Family Member

The Snow is finally slowing down, We have just over 2 1/2 feet of snow plus drifting.....the wind is really blowing it around.......

its not bad looking out the window at it.....LOL......went to take the dog out this morning and the doors were snowed in, finally got the door open and Nikki jumps out there and down she goes under the snow....all I could see was her tail!!!!!!

It should melt in another month or 2......guess I'll kick back and watch Re-runs and drink hot chocolate!!!

Loretta · RV-Dreams Family Member

Glad to hear that you are OK, if 2 1/2 feet of snow is OK. Stay safe and warm. We will bemissing you at the Boondocking Rally.

I heard he almost has the whole undercarriage and wheels from the bus bolted under his RV; but unfortunately the snowstorm slowed him down. LOL!
