Playing in water
Wild Thing: Bright and Shiny!
That might be an exaggeration, but the temperature was above freezing, most of the snow was gone and the forecast was for colder temperatures so I decided that this was my chance to get the road dirt and ice melt chemicals off the motorhome before they had a chance to do damage.
I have an adapter for my kitchen faucet that allows me to hook my hose (garden hose) to it and have warm water. I used that to fill the hose with warm water, thus making the COLD hose easy to work with vs a cold non-cooperative hose.
Once the hose was warmed up, I re-connected it to the outside spigot which has LOTS of pressure and rinsed off Wild Thing and her undercarriage and her newly installed propane tank!!
Whilst undergoing this operation, it was raining. It was 37F. I hope that the folks that pulled into the new construction project did not see the crazy person “washing” a motorhome…in the rain…at barely above freezing temperatures.
Oh, well.
There was no soap involved and it was not really a wash, it was just a rinse off of the worst of the road dirt and ice melt chemicals.
But she looks much better.
Meanwhile…
Yep, not much snow left.
And it is raining.
Auggie played in the garage.
And that hose is the hose that rinsed Wild Thing… drained and coiled neatly awaiting Spring-Summer.
Woo!
It was a workout.
Everyone is so tired that a nap was in order!!
And then…
AND THEN!!!
It started “slushing”. It looked liked snow in the air, but it was slush on the ground.
“REALLY???”
Really.

Checking that task off the list must have felt great!
Great job done! It is very foggy here and I wanted to ask you whether you ever get fog at your house. This year we have had a lot of rain and a lot of fog but it has been warmer than usual.
You “hit the nail on the head”, Steph!
Margaret, I do get fog at the house, but it is usually not as thick as in the valley. It has been foggy most of the last two weeks. We get inversions where the cloud deck is low and it keeps cold, damper air trapped underneath.
