NOW WE KNOW: BC can get some serious snow!

Want More Info

As a follow-up to our videos about RVing in the winter and connecting to an external propane tank, we thought wed share one of our "Now We Know" video vlogs about what our winter is like so far. The Lower Mainland of British Columbia, where were spending the winter, is generally known for overcast and wet, but mild, winters. So we were expecting it to be chilly and damp, with the occasional light snowfall that melts within a few days. But this is supposedly a "La Nina" year, which means the Pacific Northwest generally experiences colder-than-normal winters, with more precipitation than usual. We just got hit with about 2 feet of snow, and the forecast is for more over the next few days. Today we decided that wed better dig out, before we were unable to get out the door. lol All of the preparations we outlined in the other two videos are being put to the test, and were happy to report that were warm and comfortable, and everything is working great. That doesnt mean we wont be going back to snowbirding next winter. ;-) Watch our video about HOW TO: RV in the Winter: www.youtube.com Watch our video about HOW TO: Connect to External Propane: www.youtube.com Be sure to confirm that all methods and materials used are compatible with your particular recreational vehicle.

    With all that snow,it’s almost an igloo on wheels ;-) If not,at least that car is,you only know it’s a car because of the antenna sticking out of it.
    Keep warm.

      @CampColombo That’s a Ford Taurus under there! It belongs to the couple we’re renting our site from. This morning it is 5F with howling winds and blowing snow. Wind chill is 18 below (again, F). =:-O We’re actually doing fine, although the furnace is running a lot of course. Good thing we’re hooked up to that big external propane tank (checked the level yesterday… plenty). We’re not stepping out the door today! lol

        It’s bad to be on your roof in the winter because everything is brittle. You can use a ladder and something to drag the snow off of each side.

          Lol! I got a kick out of your pile of snow…that is actually the car! Glad you all are still warm. Just wait till the temperature is in the teens or lower and the winds blow! That is when we start to get cold even with prep. Its all an adventure right?
