Winterized my coach today

Surprised to already have possible sub freezing weather tonight. Forecasted low temp is the lowest in almost 20 years for this date. Our area forecast is only 32 but our neighborhood is at lower elevation and often is 2 to 4 degrees lower than the tv calls for. So hooked up the compressor and blew out the lines, etc. Brought plants in from the pool area too. Can't complain tho compared to what so many areas are having to cope with. Grew up in Wisconsin so I know what real winter feels like. Hope no Forest River folks are on the road trying to head south in this!

I'm sure the people up north don't feel very sorry for us. I left plenty of heat running in mine last night and poured some antifreeze in the drains. Supposed to get down to 23 here tonight. We are a little inland from Charleston, but the temps here are on track to be the lowest on this date in over 100 years.
Good news is supposed to be back up in 60's and 70's in the next few days

I had a terrible bout of flu a few years back. Developed pnuemonia and spent a week in hospital. Get a flu shot every year now!
