Spring is broken!

Where are we today ?
Spring must be a corrupt file
        Yup its cold here ! This afternoon -1 c (30f) but with an east wind of 45 kph (28mph) that gives us a wind chill of -9c (15f) and freezing rain! Directly coming across the fields to the side of our coach. Now if you have ever been in an rv in the cold and wind you know that drafts manage to sneak in around the slide out gaskets. Not our favorite camping weather for sure.
        We have done this before and know enough to pull in our slide (this stops the drafts and much more comfy inside. A small micro furnace and  propane Mr. Heater, buddy keeps us quite warm with the furnace only coming on for a minute or two every once in a while. Save a lot of propane by not using our furnace.
Mr Heater works awesome !
        We just puttered around a bit computing and stuff, then into town for Suzie's dentist appointment and some grocery shopping.
        Back home just as the freezing rain started just look at ice on the east side of our coach and Dennis and Sandy's truck yep its not quite spring yet!

       Sandy and I set into making supper. She put a nice pork loin roast in the oven, and I whipped up some mashed potatoes and a tossed salad.  We added some frozen veggies, thickened up the gravy and enjoyed a wonderful meal on a cold (spring?) night.

        We are having way too much cold here in the cold, but at least we did not have to spend a whole winter with this weather. We will put up with a few more days of this then a heat wave coming next week!!! Sunshine and above freezing, yippee getting excited !
       Thanks for stopping by and keeping us company on this wonderful day. Hope you managed to keep warm enough, or cool enough if you are lucky enough to be in one of them HOT places

  7. Yeah, it sure does look like spring is broken. Should have stayed longer in the Keys! It's nice and warm here....if the wind would just die down a bit.
