Depressing sight

While I surf through all the pics of you folks in the warmer states...I'll share a pic of what our 5er presently looks like!!!

That is depressing! I have a very similar view here in VA. The good news is that we are half-way through Feb. And the good report from here is that my wife loves heading out with the 5er as much as I do. Chin up, hang in there!

Mine looked kind of like that last week, it has warmed up and rained to the point all the snow is now gone.

Yikes! That is depressing. We got 4 inches of snow in 1989. Haven't had any since. Do you feel sorry for us? The good news is that winter will pass!

We bought and did the PDI on our new TT almost four weeks ago. TT is still at dealer because it has been too cold to install the hitch setup. Dealer doesn't have room indoors to do it and I don't want the tech rushing the job to get out of the cold. At least they are storing it for free.

Am sitting in a similar setting except for Christmas we had an ice storm, had 18 inches of snow on the roof. Very gently shoveled roof off because we are supposed to get a warm spell and rain didn't want all that weight up there. Our old trailer was sitting in the yard during the ice storm and took 4 limbs through the roof. Don't need any more bad this year.

i guess i won't post any pics of what it was like out here today, otherwise you'd be more depressed!!
let's just say that I and many others were in shorts and t-shirts today.

Not into T shirts and shorts yet but (MS) it was nice enough to sit outside and read for several hours in the bright, warm sunshine. Here's wishing and hoping you'll be able to sit outside soon too!

My thoughts exactly! To the OP: drive up the NE Extension about 1.5 hours and you can see that you're getting off easy! There's over a foot of snow on the roof of our TT right now. It won't be gone until June...

looks the same in WI. We expect another 4 to 6 " tonight. It's been extremely cold. You know it's cold when you go out on a sunny day and you think, hey it's nice out today and the temp is 8 deg. I'm a freak though I love the cold. I'd much rather have single digit temps than 90+ temps. I predict that spring is going to pop up out of nowhere. It's going to get warm, the snow will melt as the crocus' start to push out of the ground, and all in two weeks time.
