We just don't live in that kind of climate! lol.... We have at least 6 more weeks of swimming weather.
I would think you would clean them off and bring them in til after it quits snowing.

I've camped in plenty of snow and never worried while camping. But yes, When getting ready to leave, I sweep them off before bringing them in and hitching up. Usually, unless it's still snowing, sweep early and by the time your ready to bring them in its melted and dry

WHAT is that white stuff? Sure glad they don't have it in NC where we are and while we are here at least. Will that stuff stain the roof?

Love this South Dakota weather. 80 degrees last week where we live in the northern Black Hills and tomorrow should start warming back up the the 60s. Saturday should be beautiful. We will be camping at Blue Bell CG in Custer State park on the 20th and plan on doing some hiking and sitting around the camp fire at night.

I prefer the white stuff. DH prefers to sweat. I hate humidity, he hates cold. He grew up in NJ, I grew up an army brat living in places like CO, MI, KY, VA, MD etc. My love is mountains and snow. He loves Graceland heat. I gave in and now we live in NC where I might see just a tad more snow than in the OPs pics all winter.

OP if it is powdery snow, you might be able to blow it off.

Brrrrrrr. I've been working on a trip that will take us to Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, Little Bighorn and Jackson Hole about this time next year. Snow?

Who'd a thought that would happen on Sept. 11. Looks like quite a bit, too!

I do love to go to the mountains but about 40deg is cold enough then no snow. I like to see my snow on the news or on someones post here. That is close enough. We do get snow some time here in South Louisana but no one is prepaired for it here power company almost always loose power when that happens.

So, had a discussion with my brother inlaw from FLA. I said "our winters here in New England are like your summers. We run from heated house to heated car to heated stores. You run from AC house to AC car and to AC stores". He replied "yeah, but we don't have to shovel heat".

If y'all get down to the Charlotte area, drop by. Coffee pot is always on and the door is always open.
