spring or lack of it in Ontario Canada

Haven't de-winterized yet, going to the OBX Thursday. Will de-winterize on the way down first night stop over near Allentown PA. Our friendly local Leisure days say this cold weather is causing them a lot of extra work. They've had to de-winterize for PDI's' and delivery only to turn around having to re-winterize again.
Hope we don't have to re-winterize again when coming back 30 Apr.
Ice storm here today

We had 7" of snow today. All schools closed due to the wind and blowing snow. Scheduled to get the trailer out of storage next weekend. Supposed to snow Monday and Tuesday next week. Camping trip scheduled for the 1st of May. Hope the snow is gone by then.

Since last fall, we had been planning an 18 day camping trip from here in S. Ontario to Maine during mid-June. If this weather trend continues, we will be going to North Carolina instead. Both are areas we'd love to see, but seems like mother nature is going to do the choosing as to which one we will see this year.

Now I'm really getting tired of the snow. The place that I store the trailer at for winter called and canceled this weekends time to retrieve the trailer. Good think too! It appears we had about 14" of snow last night during the most recent storm, and still snowing at this point. All the schools are closed, my work is closed. Going to be another "dig out day".

We made it to the Outerbanks. The storm cooled the temps down and it is in the 50's
I guess it beats freezing temps at home.
Global warming???

Last night we had a hard freeze here in S. Ontario. The temp went down to minus 5 C (23 F). The forecast shows that beyond Tuesday we should have overnight low temps above the freezing mark. I may de-winterize by Tuesday and keep the furnace ready just in case the temps dip again.

No worries! I de-winterized yesterday, and we're going camping this weekend. Forecast looks good.

I feel for you guys. We de-winterized the third week in February. We'll probably make a last trip of the year about the middle of December, and then have to winterize again. Come on down to Texas and spend a while.
