Weather ~ Oh you bet!!!! 43 during the day and 19 low at night
They were predicting the biggest storm this winter to hit Northern Arizona; and it did.
We are at about 3200 feet in Camp Verde which is in a valley about 1 hour due south from Flagstaff. On Monday it started to rain then sleet then huge wet snowflakes.
The days leading up to this were above normal, so it almost seems like it just can't happen. So we hunkered down and put on our new favorite purchase; a heater/fireplace with a thermostat. (it's on wheels and doubles as an end table). The motorhome has a furnace and heat pumps but this is so quiet you don't hear it run so it is our favorite. Tip: always use electric if it is included in your site cost, why pay for the furnace to run on propane which you will have to pay to refill yourself.
As well I got out the bread maker and made some Chelsea Buns and we put on the coffee pot with a new bottle of Bailey's; might as well enjoy it.
At night when we went to bed we did unhook the water and put the hose inside the basement, chances are it will freeze overnight. Either you unhook or let water drip all night so you don't freeze up.
In the morning the views of the mountains from our window were so nice. Flagstaff did get 2 feet of snow and the roads were closed in and out for a good part of the day.
If you come to Arizona in a motor home you need to be prepared for the extremes. We have an electric blanket and many we talk to have an electric mattress pad or heated bed. Whichever you choose you will be glad you did!!!
