    That's nothing. We have had a few years where we had a solid 1 inch of ice around everything, including every branch on a tree. Had to chip my way in to the pickup door a few times then take a hair dryer to the lock.

    Same as mine as were a few miles out to and live up higher in elevation. But even though our temps may only be a couple off or lower than town.

    Got up to only 55* here today So I went out and washed the motor home. It was kind of a gray day out there today and then started to sprinkle a bit. Were getting ready to do a run to the coast and go motor home camping with some other friends. Sure hope the winds and rain ain't to bad in Astoria at the end of Feb.
