Is anyone,,,,anywhere,,,,seeing any signs of spring? Last year at this time it was in the 70's in Southern Minnesota. Truly not normal. But now we can't even get near the average high of the low 40's!
I am so looking forward to seeing grass again.
Someone give us some hope!

A few days ago, I was just thinking that we might be able to get the fifth-wheel out of storage in another couple of weeks. Now they're talking anywhere from an inch to 8 inches of snow in the Twin Cities. Spring seems like a VERY long ways off right now.

I have been asking myself the same thing. We were camping by the first weekend of March last year when it was 70 degrees out already. I hope were good by atleast the first weekend of April because we have a big race to go watch and camp at.

It was 82 here in kansas friday. Now its going right back into the 30s and 40s for this whole next week. Camp grounds here open april 1. I was going to bring the camper home yesterday and wash it and get it ready, but it went from 82 friday to 45 saturday. Guess I wiill wait another week and try again.

Been harsh here in the northeast too. Below average temps, above average snow, and another big storm heading up the coast Tuesday. Looking like just when I was starting to see bare ground we have 5-10" on the way! Depressing.

Been a crappy winter for all every where. We in Canada usually see signs of spring and warming temp's by now but not yet as we are still getting snow. Were going to pick up our new unit April 25 but will see if we can set that back a week or 2. God I love this country!!!
Great camping for all of you this year and may the good lord look over you.

I would gladly trade you our last two days of mid 80's temps for some rain. We are working on a three year drought.

Purchased a 2013 CF34SS Saturday...so today after church I went to check on how the snow piles were by myold 2012 CT28RKX (we traded it in), as I have it stored at a trucking company along with about 2 dozen other people. Well, our campers are all on the outside of the field, and they have plowed all the snow a few feet from all of our units...as of today it is still 4' deep, and hard like concrete...I think I'd have a hard time moving it with a payloader.  I guess I won't be bringing the new unit home for 3 or 4 weeks..and only then if it gets into the 40's or 50's for a while...oh well, in a couple month's we'll all be complaining about how hot it is....  Not!!!

Great, now we have a blizzard warning for Monday. Not a lot of snow, but a lot of wind. 
Doesn't spring start this week?

Had a few signs of spring in our area recently..........
Bluebird powder days!
I clear the driveway and it gets piled in front of the 5th wheel. It will be at least 2 months before we get it out of the yard! Lucky the sled trailer can still get out...

As long as it is in liquid form by the time it gets here send it.
