We've had some wild temperature swings here in central NY over the past month. Pulled the camper out a few weeks ago on a 70* day and the past few days we've had snow & ice. Ugh...almost camping season!

They are talking 70s here this weekend. Last night we got what I call "White rain" (Snow) and this AM I had to de-ice the car.
Also a neighbor borrowed her mother's car. no scraper. So I sprayed her down with De-Icer as well. Works great in the 20s Not so good in the teens.

Wild weather. That's for sure.
 
We had a mix of rain and snow here in eastern Upstate NY yesterday, but the snow melted almost as fast as it hit the ground. My wife and I moved from the house to our motorhome next door, even though it's still a bit too cold out most days and nights. The extra propane is worth it though, since she can get around a lot better in here with her limited mobility. She has to use a walker in the house, but in here she just uses a quad-cane sometimes. There's almost always something close enough to grab for support. We won't be traveling until May when we'll spend a couple of weeks at Gilbert Lake State Park near Oneonta, NY for the Memorial Day holiday.
 
Our A/C has been running. We’ve had near record highs last week. Luckily it’s cooling off!

Northern Lower Michigan was 62° yesterday, this morning at 0730 it is 50° and tomorrow lake effect snow throughout the day. Someday I'll think about getting my camper ready to go.
 
Here in the Denver area we had a high of 80º in Friday, 86º (broke record high) on Saturday, 70º on Sunday, and this morning we woke up to 35º and a skiff of snow on the ground, though it's all melted before now.

Lotta changes...
 
Ya gotta love New England weather, you saw above the snow on Saturday, this was two days later on Monday. I was finally able to get out for a putt on my other passion.

Lake Winnipesauke in Wolfboro NH, you can still see ski trails on the far right on Gunstock Mt.

We left freezing, cold Indiana (again) at the end of February and arrived in St. Francisville, Louisiana 2 days later. In Louisiana, it was in the low 70's. We thought we just landed in paradise!

Last week, my wife had a business meeting in Newark, Delaware. Yes, we drove (without the camper) from Louisiana to Delaware over a 3 days travel plan, hoping to site see and do some tourist things along the way. Nope. It did not happen! Rain, cold Rain, even colder Rain the farther North-East we traveled. Every day, it got colder and more miserable. Temps in Delaware were in the low 30's to mid 40's.

When we left, it was cold rain again, all the way to Mississippi and then things started drying out and warming up again.

I am glad to say, I'm enjoying this 80 degree swamp heat weather in Louisiana. My son, living in our house in Indiana, says the weather still suck at home. I'm am SO glad to be in Louisiana. Right now.... it's 76 degrees at 1:34 pm on April 15! Wonderful SUNNY, very slight breeze weather! I love Louisiana!
 
Worked outside Saturday after it snowed and was soaked by the end of the day with not super cold temps but was what I like to call raw outside. Working outside last night about 50 hours later in a tee shirt and I had black flies buzzing around me.
 
Y 80s and super hot all.over New Mexico, broke records... of course, now headed to Montana and winter storm warning 8-12" of snow... 70s last week.. happens every year
 
Low to mid 80's in Raleigh, NC. Here via car (SUV) because RV repairs starting Mid March didn't come together as planned. Our two-three week adventure is now a car shortened five day stay at my brother's.

Beats weather in WNY but DW and me miss being in the woods at Falls Lake SP.
 
Rain here in Auburn CA. Heavy snow at Donner Summit (7,240' elevation) right now on I-80 over the mountains.

I came here yesterday on an electric motorcycle from Reno, to beat the coming snowstorm.

It was a cold ride, but I had my cold weather gear as well as heated handgrips on the motorcycle.

Big quick change in the weather here, it was nice and warm all last week.
