The Hillbilly Weatherman (Facebook) had some good advice. CAUTION: INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE (keep the kids away) Our friends south of NE should check him out. ------------- Larry and Debbie w/Rosie the mutt. Old: '13 177, '06 Silverado V6 New: '15 Whitehawk 20MRB '14 Silverado V8 |

We are not quite this bad but this is only 3 hours away from us. http://www.theguardian.pe.ca/News/Local/2015-02-17/article-4046667/Summerside-couple-digs-tunnel-to-find-car/1 - http://www.theguardian.pe.ca/News/Local/2015-02-17/article-4046667/Summerside-couple-digs-tunnel-to-find-car/1 Banks at the end of my drive are 15 feet at the highest part but most of that is from throwing snow. I have no place left to put snow. Edit: As a matter of fact where the trailer is parked in my signature picture the snow is up to about where the bottom of the windows are on the Pod.

I read that after this week my area will have had its coldest month ever on record. So glad to have my wood stove. Happily we've missed most of the big snow storms this year, but we did get 8 inches Saturday. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

I have been out in -40 (C or F, take your choice) - but that was when I was young and stupid. Two runs down the mountain and I had to head inside for a warm-up. ------------- Craig :: 2009 RP171 towed by a 2017 F150 |

Tried to go ice fishing, but the holes kept freezing over and my bait was flash freezing from the wind, I hate when that happens!! ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

Got a surprise -6 F at my house this morning, the coldest I've seen in the 10 1/2 years we've been there. And more single-digit temps coming up (happily in the positive and not negative territory). Yay. Outbound - nothing like a fast run down a mountain to point out where your cold weather gear needs improvement! I prefer 2 skiis, though. The one time I (and my friend) was on a snowboard, our first run down the mountain he fell and broke his hand and had to take a ride down in the ski patrol sled. That was our last run. In hindsight we were cocky teenagers who thought since we were expert skiiers, we could figure out the board on our own... fwunder - need a bigger roasting stick! ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Here ya go Leo. I was saving this for summer, but it might help keep you warm while fishing.  ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

We got it in Southern Indiana also. 6 above zero this a.m. I saw -7 last week. Still 10 inches of snow on the ground. The ABSOLUTE worse part of all this is that I use the Pod to escape to when Donna is watching the " Voice " I go out there and flip on the electric heater and watch t.v. but its so flipping cold I cant stand it out there. Oh no, its on again tonight , HELP !  ------------- Dane and Donna Smith 2011 RP-172 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer 4X4 lift kit prodigy wireless brake controller |
