I’ve been here in TN for just over a week now and it seems that my departure from Sequim WA was timed perfectly. Not only did I miss any snowfall on my drive south but I also missed some of the biggest snow storms that the Olympic Peninsula has seen in a long time. I was getting updates from a friend who was still in Rainbow’s End RV Park. At first they were just mildly interesting – some snow on the ground and the small pond beginning to freeze over. Then the big one hit and they got 12 inches of snow in one day. The very next day they lost power, which also meant no water (no power to pump) and no TV or Wi-Fi (no power to that equipment).  A few days later (after power was restored) they got even more snow. One unfortunate couple from Canada towing a 5th wheel got stuck on a very small uphill grade in the park while trying to get to my old spot. The road was very slick with ice. They waited about 9 hours for a tow truck to get them moving again and their site was less than 50 yards away.  I might not have had ideal weather here in Tennessee during that time but it was much better than it could have been.
