Living on the Edge of Winter

Although I don't think we can be categorized as Snow Birds just yet, we have done a fair job of running from winter these last few months.  We seem to always still be on the edge, but we haven't seen even one snowflake this winter.  There has been frosty mornings, and chilling winds, but so far, winter hasn't caught us.

Since we cast off on this adventure of full time RV living, we have bounced up into Maine in the early fall and then started moving back down.  First back to Maryland.  Then to Cape May, NJ for a month or so and then down to North Carolina, where we spent three Holidays on Camp Lejeune.

After that, we continued south slowly, always have a cold night from time to time to remind us that we weren't quite south enough yet.  Now we are in Northern Florida and this is probably as far south we are going, so it will have to do.  Thankfully it seems to be warming up here, even though we had an early morning freeze just the other day.  

Even in PA in September we experienced nights when the temperature would drop to or below freezing for several hours.  It never lasted long, but I re-learned that water freezes in a hose when it gets cold.  

Maine was still warm when we were there.  We never had a colder night than the mid forties while we were there. Cape May was also rather temperate, with only one night dropping into the high thirties.  

At Lejeune, we had several nights when the temperature would drop to freezing and stay there.  That is where I had the frozen hose experience.

In South Carolina and Georgia, we had a few cold nights, but it was just a part of the adventure.

Personally, I don't mind a bit of winter during the season, but after a while, I notice that the sun warming my body is a very nice feeling.  LoGear would be happy if she never saw a temp below freezing again.  

Today is supposed to be somewhere in the 70s, but there is rain in the forecast.  I think we have finally moved away from the edge of winter and are now looking to the coming of Spring.  

Peace,
