Your kid looks frozen too!
How much weight (snow) can a trailer support before it bends?

This one comes up annually, there was a lot of discussion here. Also do a search with snow load or snow weight for more ~

IO, thanks for the link. I think that Inland Andy's answer pretty much says it, it does not happen. Not a big issue for me, even though I did live through the record snow fall for Phoenix about 15-20 years ago, It was offically measured at 1/10th of an inch. Glad I have a 4x4.

I heard the Robin Redbreasts for the first time, since last fall, today ! Spring is a comin ! I am going to try to go camping at least once a month this season. I sure felt like I missed out last summer with my resto goin on and no time for camping and no AS to do it in. I have to make up for lost time, lol .

We're waiting for the spring rains here in Oklahoma. Here is what a 9,000 acre grass fire looks like from 20 miles away.

It was T-shirt weather yesterday and it should have started raining last night but didn't. As a matter of fact, the weatherperson said it was to rain all weekend and turn cold again. The trailer is at the RV shop for a brake inspection and bearing repack so it is just as well.

I like a nice cozy campfire and all but that is some scary!

Springtime

I just got back from the storage facility where we keep our AS. I go from time to time to check for leaks, vandalism, but MOSTLY to sit in it and dream about the coming spring/summer/fall streaming season! It's 24 degrees here today - can't WAIT for warmer weather!
