Yea Scott it was too damn cold so not outside much. never got to meet up with the millers this year. just too cold to do much looping. the only decent night was new years eve. we went to the beach for fireworks that night. other than than we did go to movie last night and almost froze. This was the coldest it has ever been while i was at the fort. I thought a couple of years ago was cold but not this cold. home now with the heat on. tomorrow night is supposed to dip into the 20's so glad i came home. Several of the campers in the 800 loop were leaving today and lots of them were leaving early. while i love the fort it just isn't that much fun to be cooped up in the camper.

we will be back for easter and the weather should be great then.

sorry we missed meeting. i didn't even go in the 600 loop the whole week we were there.

anyway happy new year to you and your family

Sorry to hear about the cold weather. Our Susquehanna University swim team left for Tampa today for a week of "warm weather" training!

Currently 25 degrees here at home, and with the wind feels like 14. Hope it's warmer wherever you might be!

I'll be at the Fort the end of January, and since every time I go to WDW there are above normal temperatures, I'm sure it will warm up by then.

I have to admit it was a little chilly leaving the house this morning. Good thing the car has a heater that works!

Dry pretty much sums it up! Nothing can survive in liquid form when it's that cold. One cool thing to do when it is this cold is that you can take a cup of hot water, throw it up into the air and it will come down as snow... Come to think of it, I think that's the ONLY cool thing about it being this cold.

Brings back fond memories of being a kid and being shown how to spit in that kind of cold and watch it bounce. It was fun for a little while, then we wanted nothing more to do with the cold either.

 

[DisCamper]

Just checked it is 42 on site 416 right now.

[DisCamper]

The people next to us have a million $ MH so there site is always beter.

 

[2goofycampers]

Well that site sounds about 10 degrees warmer,,,
I'd havta talk to the front desk and see what they could do about that.

sorry Denise, This is Frank, post'n under DW again.

first day back from the fort. This is the very first time i can say that I am glad to be home and not at the fort.

I know a bad day at the fort is better than a good day in the real world. but it is just too dang cold for me.

but am looking forward to my easter trip.

 

[Millermouseketeers]

Sorry we missed you Dan. We stopped by a couple of times but missed you. Yes, we were not out much either. It was too cold! Dallas is going into the teens this week! Wind chill below zero! Way too cold Scott! Hope your trip back was good.
There were 3 Dis families in 600 loop. It was fun!
Stopped by Lorna's also but missed her too.

I have been reading your weather comments with great interest. We are set to arrive at FW on Thursday. We got rid of the TT as part of our massive scaling back, and are preparing to return to tent camping. I know another front is coming through, and I believe that temps should stay about the same through the weekend. We have all tent camped many times, but I know there will be some adjustments we are probably not anticipating after years in a RV with forced air furnace and a hot shower.

 

[LORNADUCK]

Millermouseketeers, I'm so sorry I missed you, we were looking forward to seeing you. Kelly told me you were there and by the time I got to 600, which was Sun. afternoon you were gone. Are you coming back before July? If not we will see you in July as least we will all be in the same loop again. I heard from group reservations and I should have the group # any day now. I will pm you with it.

 

[Millermouseketeers]

I am sorry we missed you also Lorna and Dan.The cold messed up all of our looping. I don't think we will be back until July 4th. The kids are trying to talk us into Easter! I look forward to hooking up with everyone on the 4th. Thanks Lorna that sounds great!

WOW you're a better person than me cause right now at FW it is 43 and dropping and that is just too cold to be tenting it unless you're a Scout ....

It was also sort of windy today so the wind chill factor added to the lower temps ... not a real pleasant day.

We were at Angie's site NYE and looked for you but it was dark at your site so we figured you were at a park. I think Annie saw M at DHS if she was with that group. The last time we went when it was cold was last MLK Weekend. It was miserable and we spent most of the time inside. Looping was rare because it was so cold you didn't want to be outside.

Might I suggest everyone check their Carbon Monoxide batteries since the propane heaters will be used a lot. I really need to get a space heater as I remember burning a huge amount of LP that weekend.

 

[DisCamper]

Just checked it is a warm 37 right now.

We are arriving on Sunday for a week of tent camping. We are from WNY and normally camp when it's in the 40's at night. We have certainly survived a few 30 degree nights but that was at a site without electric. I took advice from everyone on these boards to bring along an electric blanket to help. We are also bringing a ceramic heater for our "living room" side of our tent...I'm not comfortable sleeping with that on! It sounds like only one cold night for us at the Fort...by Monday things should be looking up! Mind you, even 30 degrees sounds warm to me after a week of below zero wind chills and 20 inches of snow!
