Needless to say we have the same but temps have been warm and in the mid 50's. Just enough to start the stove in the shed but not cold enough to not open the doors. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

56Sierra 1,844 Posted October 29, 2021 Didn't hear any bumps in the night and don't see any firewood on the roof of the truck. Winds seem to have settled a wee bit but still going to be a challenge pulling a trailer going full on crosswind. Just going to enjoy my coffee and take it as it comes.

LedFTed 1,127 Posted October 30, 2021 i do feel winter sum this month. one month late, an warmer then the old days. went to a family reunion, NOAA said rain all day, an i checked the sky's, on the map radar, an it looked like so.. it was 58f and sprinkling, when we finally found the barn/hanger it was held in, but the weather finally cleared up a bit, an ya could open, the hanger door. getting chilly out. i aint ready. never am.. it does remind of younger days, trick or treat, with snow sleet an rain, one hollow-ween. was a time, the frost hit early, the leaves changed, an the persimmons were better. an i forgot, the break, indian summer, some where in that equation, two weeks..

Made it home just fine. Was going to say without a hitch but that would make it sound like the trailer blew off. We did have rain shortly after we hit I65 north and it continued until we passed Zanesville OH. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,611 Posted November 1, 2021 Supposed to get down around freezing a couple of nights this week here. My Japanese Millet in the duck hole looks great, but no seed heads yet, so if we get a freeze that will smoke the millet. Hopefully the forecast will be off a little.

56Sierra 1,844 Posted November 15, 2021 Been back home doing the boring stuff and waiting until Thanksgiving before leave again. I hoping to get above freezing night time temps for the first few nights headed south. Rather not worry about the water freezing in the camper. The jetstream has been dropping south and giving Fishfiles colder than normal. Fish, get out there and chase that cold back up north. I promise to sneak outta here in hopes it doesn't follow us south. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

56Sierra 1,844 Posted November 16, 2021 Stupid question alert: Can I get -20F windshield washer fluid in southern Alabama? I'm expecting a few below freezing nights this winter in Ft. Morgan and by biggest concern of freezing is the dump valves for the holding tanks. A good MT prior to the freeze and add a gallon of WWF to each would probably work. Or do the heat tape thing.

I use the 6 buck a gallon stuff to winterize the entire water system for storage. I had to do that when I got home two weeks ago but plan to flush out the feed lines and fill the fresh water holding tank on Thanksgiving morning right before we leave. Since the house is getting semi winterized what hot water left in the house after I shut off the water heater will get mixed with a little cold to fill my camper tank. This will give me a head start on the forecast just below freezing first night out. As long as I'm set up and furnace running I'm good for keeping all the water lines thawed but the holding tanks aren't heated. So, whatever antifreeze in the lines will get dumped into the tanks and that will do the job on the trip down. I've pretty much decided on heat tape and insulation to use on the holding tank plumbing while on set up on the Gulf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
