JohnJ Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Talk to my cousin in Nebraska yesterday evening. I believe I'm 2 hours ahead of her so it must have been 4:00 p.m. her time she said it was 15 with a 50 below wind chill. Nope, I'm cold just with the 15.

Tex gets so many snow birds. They stack-up around the lakes, and coastal hot-spots, the RV parks are filled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Those snowbirds buy those RV's like buying donuts. There were about 40 new ones lined up at a meet in Ohio, very big like greyhound busses. One old couple walked into one and wrote out a check for $83,000.00 like buying a burger. All of the RV's were sold that day. To me a real headshaker.

Marvel Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 My parents retired to northwest Wisconsin, where it often hit -40 in the winter. We lived in the Madison area where it got down to -10 or -20 pretty often. I think we were all pretty happy to move back south. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
