That's why we're leaving this country but obviously we aren't doing it quickly enough. The radio says they got 30 cm (about a foot) of snow overnight here. You can see by the power pedestal that they've already got around 2 feet here. Apparently last winter they got 18 feet. I don't want to be here for that. I've got the jewellery in a pail in the back of the truck but I really don't want to put it on. Saturday morning is D-day. One way or another we are getting out of here and across the line into New York.
Is it Saturday yet??????? LOL. Since you didnt pack a snowblower, I hope you have access to a shovel.
Best regards.

Nice bus-cickle. It is quite pretty, through.
Come on Bob it sure looks like you hit that poor old Elm tree. Make sure you clear it when leaving :)
Now I'm sitting here trying so hard to remember who it was that gave me so much grief when I got snowed in last fall on my run south, hold on, it's coming to me, yep, I'm sure of it, it was Bob of the middle lol.
Hey Bob...Didn't you get stuck up North last year about this time?

Bob,
That is a beautiful picture as long as it can be viewed on my computer while sittng in Florida! Hope you make it out of there soon. Have a safe trip. Jack
Jack,
I know as Florida residents we are supposed to tease are Northern Friends about the cold, snow, slush, etc.......during the Winter months.
But I think I will pass on this one and lie in waiting for a nice storm in say January or Febuary to pick on them.... ;D :P

There is only 1 thing worse than seeing snow days on the school calender. . . . .
As much as I dislike snow & cold, I'd really rather not put up with a hurricane! :o :P :-*
Everything has it's price . . . . . ;D ;D ;D

Yup. Every place has its good and bad. That's one of the things I like about a home on wheels. And that's what makes snowbirding so great for those who can.
Oh that snow looks so wonderful........We have nothing
on the ground and we'll be at - temps by Sunday. (bad for winter wheat)
Bob are you going to put jewelery on the steers also? Nothing feels wierder than
to have the front slide out :(...... but I haven't heard of anybody doing that......
Hope Jorgito is doing better with snow like that you could loose him in a snow bank on your walks.

the snow fairy was there the snow fairy was there the snow fairy was there
Getting down to NY will really help, I have a recollection of Buffalo being very nice this time of year!
For all the craziness that L.A. has, I'll take my sunny 72 degree weather we'll have today. Good Luck, TomC
Not quite as much but its snowing in New Orleans is morning maybe Mexico.
Bob you lucky bugger, getting out of here. Watching the weather forcast it doesn't look like you've had the cold, here in Manitoba it is just getting stupid cold, maybe you can pick up a hitchhiker around Austin,mb??
Have a great trip
I know that many folks find winter beautiful, but I can't tell you how depressing it is to me. I spent the first twenty years of my life in New England and the last forty five or so in Florida. I'll take a hurricane anytime compared to dealing with snow and ice.
I loved hearing that it was snowing in HOUSTON, TX last night on the news! Seems to me that some times there is a god! LOL! ;D BK ;D

Bob, Wait till Sunday. Should be close to 50 about 2 hrs south of the falls. Tom Y
Hello:
Just remember on your way south past watertown , Sandy Creek ,Pulaski, Mexico, Central Square, Syracuse, cortland, Binghamton and finally Pennsylvania; that you have driven thrrough the snow belt of NY. The home of the most snow anywhere in the East.
We commented that Buffalo got the press but Mexico got the snow.... 200 inches is normal and Several years ago Mexico made national news by having 8 feet.. One of the guys I worked with made the nightly news..
Yes Mexico was home for 32 years and we lived thru many a winter...
now its a memory and Dunnellon FLorida is home but I can write a book about the those times
now one time when the backhoe ran out of fuel in the driveway and another when I pulled the car into the snowbank that was the driveway and we never saw another vehicle for 3 days.....
THat picture brings back a few memories....
Wish you luck and safe travels....
Oh by the way you can stay in the rest areas in NY overnite unless they changed the rules..
Hope to see you in Arcadia
Regards and happy bussin mike
Bob, why do you want to go to a hot sweaty place when you can enjoy the crisp cool air that Brandon offers. We get our first cold weather and snow tomorrow. I've got the tractor ready, the grand kids have the snowmobiles tuned and ready, the toboggans are all waxed. I fired up the old wood cook stove in the cabin here on the farm and the gang is coming for a weekend of fun in the snow.
Next year I head south, I'll be retired then..............

Another thing to keep in mind about Buffalo, it gets the left over snow from Upper Michigan lol, when you deal with 300 to 400 inches a winter it's a 'whole nother ballgame' lol, often 200 inches falls before christmas here, now explain what I'm still doing here. One of the main problems that buffalo has that we don't would be finding places to put snow, it always amazed me how a city that reels from lake effect blizzards can still find places to put the snow, it would have to be trucked out of the city, here we have miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles lol, we just pile it up and push it higher lol. Last winter my daughter stopped checking on our house while we were in florida after the snow in our yard went over the 6ft deep mark, that happened early in january, sadly thats a normal winter for us, great for snowmobiles and winter sports but I get cold. We're not having a bad winter so far 131 inches for us, but not much on the ground, we get a few inches and then a warm day around 30 and it packs right down, BRING ON GLOBAL WARMING, I'm ready lol. With a little luck I can get my heart strong enough to be able to travel again. Here is a pic of what we deal with, there is a park bench to give a size comparason indicator lol.
I had to put on a jacket while reading your post Cody......

Cody, that gives you enough reason to build the first monster bus...lol....
Thanks for all the good wishes and wisdom guys. The camphost has us plowed out in front. Tomorrow we're out of here one way or another. We were up north of Montreal for a couple of days - when we got back tonight the door lock was frozen up. Its been up above freezing during the day and dropping to -15 or -20 at night. Not real cold but cold enough to get your attention and certainly cold enough to make us look forward to warmer weather.
Arcadia - here we come.
When you roll into arcadia you'll see all the smiling faces you need, and the weather will be warm and great, just be careful and give us detailed reports of the run to the sun. Before you cross the border shake off any storms that might be hooked onto the back bumper.

Yeah, we don't want ya'll bringin any of that cold weather down here. Course it it does turn cold, we'll have someone to blame, since we can't blame Cody this year. LOL Jack
Just got pictures of my grand children playing in the snow at their house. This is on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain.
Somebody may want to file a complaint with US Border Services cuz they let us in again. We're sitting in the rest area on the New York side of 1000 Islands bridge having lunch. Still not shorts weather but it is improving from the -25 we left this morning.
Why are you stopping????
