There was too much snow, the lifts weren't running because of a power failure, we had 6+" of snow over night and it continued for most of the day. So we went sledging, built snowmen and had snowball fights for hours, went skating and then had more snowball fights on the way home and then built a toy igloo.

It was ace. thumbup

How's the van holding up? Nice and toasty?

Yep, no issues at all. We have an oil filled rad and a dehumidifier and haven't used the gas at all.

Excellent. I'm running mine fully on gas whilst fulltiming, but the weather has never been worse than minus 2 during that time. Had it have been colder, I'd have run the oil-filled rad and my generator.

Enjoy! smile

We are, thanks. biggrin

I reckon the lowest we've seen is -5, but last night wasn't below freezing and we were too hot with the rad on 1/2.

(I would use gas, but we're a little low and thought I could fill up in the resort and CBA going back down. Looking at our usage I reckon we'd be ok but coffee and bbqs took priority.)
