That's just a dusting Joe <g>. We shoveled at least 10" from the
driveway and walks and it looks like we'll have to shovel again
tomorrow. Can't wait for Christmas, we leave soon after for Florida.

Yeah, and it's STILL "dusting" tonight. I think in the last 3 days
we've had about 40cm which for the metrically challenged is about
15-16".

If it stops long enough we'll be heading for Florida on Saturday.

_IF_ I can get my hitch unfrozen. Never occurred to me - if you're
going to 5th wheel in really cold weather, DON'T put grease on you
hitch - you won't be able to move it!!!!

Cheers? Joe
I use the Teflon disk and nothing else. Well maybe some lube spray in the mechanism.

Hi folks,
I'm jump'n in here to ask about snowbirds - - kind of.. We live in Connecticut and this is our first fall of both my wife and I being retired. We've RVed for years but always stayed home in the winter.
I called around to see if we could go somewhere for end of Feb and into March. I found a very reasonable campgrounds in Mississippi. It's near Picayune. Picayune? What a hoot.
Anyway, in our conversation we heard a new term. "Halfbacks", it think it was. Going to Mississippi apparently is getting popular due to traveling and residing expenses in Florida.
I guess it called being a "halfback" instead of a snowbird.
Back to Picayune. It's supposed to be 45 minutes from New Orleans and about the same from the Gulf Coast. If anyone has wintered in that area please share your experiences or helpful info for brand new "halfbacks"....VBG.
