Well, we've had a few interesting days. On the last post of Feb. 11., we had just come into Texas and were greeted by an 1" of snow. We camped in Gladewater Texas that night
and the morning (Fri) brought the sight of 6 more inches and then the power went out. It stayed out for more than 24 hours. The trailer requires 110V power to operate the furnace. Needless to say it was cold, as the outside temp was around the freezing point. We had paid for 3 nights (Thur., Fri., and Saturday). We pulled out on the Sat. morning and headed to Dallas/Fort Worth as the campground owner had been toldthe power would not be back on until Sunday
DFW had 12.5 inches of snow!!!!!!, and 200,000 without hydro and no snow removal equipment. People were using square nose garden shovels to remove the snow from walks. A huge number of people had gone into the median on I20. The power at the campground here in Arlington had power ( that means we had heat....yes). The pictures to the left are of the 9th hole fairway at the golf course in Gladewater on the Friday morning
you were probably part of a historical moment with all that snow in Texas. Did you show them how to drive in it? :)
