It's supposed to hit 88 deg here today, but I'll always take the heat to the cold. Frost - Memorial Day - burrrrr.

It could be worse, I guess.
 
We had frost a few nights ago, then continued rain and cold, soggy drizzle for the whole Memorial Day weekend. I feel like our pretty Pod is nothing but a $14-thousand driveway ornament.
 
But, I've got a close friend (at least he was until I texted him this morning) who has a boat docked a few miles north on the Mississippi that cost him at least 10 times that much. I sent him the following friendly text this AM: "Did you get a good start on your tan this weekend, Mikey?"
 
His response: "Bite me..."
 
It's getting a little cranky here in Minnesota.

Yes, go!

There have been many trips where they've called for rain or cold all weekend and we still go.  I load up extra plastic to enclose our EZ-ups, and/or put up the Dome, and crank up our propane campfire (don't worry, I allow for ventillation).

Rain or shine we are heading out tomorrow for a 1 or 2 nighter. 30% to 40% chance of rain Friday and Saturday, don't care. Our son is going to tent camp with us and is pulling the Champion bass boat. I have frog togs and clothes. we are going to camp and fish period. The pod has been setting since last October. Hell, its almost June and we have had weather that is CRAP CRAP CRAP. I don't care I am heading out.

No frost here. It's 86 today.

Paige - We tried the tarp - with little success and finally bought a fitted cover.

Had our pod all tucked in to its special spot between our shed and a row of pine trees.  Then we covered it with the rPod cover.  Looked out on Sunday and the cover was on the ground!  Looks like we will have to bungee the cover on.  Here at the lake we can get pretty good wind.
